[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

This is such an important paper. Ryan McEntush, Sam D'Amico, and Packy McCormick have been screaming about this for a year or more. It's important!!!

@CalontheRock @MAAWLAW Sorry, I meant this tweet: https://t.co/cql7TWXTQX See those that follow with links.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

Canada is now undertaking its biggest military expansion since the Second World War but rather than praise that change, a top Trump official ignores it entirely and instead pisses on Canada from a great height.
The stupidity of these people is staggering.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@CalontheRock @MAAWLAW No, that's simply wrong. Go back to my original tweet and you'll see tweets that follow with links. A host of very real and very major changes are underway. The change is real.

@LLombardo77 @Poet___Myst Sure. And King Charles is a secret lizard preparing the way for alien invasion!

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

This is a Republican Congressman from Nebraska -- and a retired US Air Force general.
Strictly from the perspective of American self-interest, acknowledging Canada has turned an important corner and encouraging Canada to do more makes perfect sense. Pissing on Canada is idiocy.

This all started w/ taunts of “Canada will be the 51st state” & “their Prime Minister will be the 51st governor.” The insults gained us nothing but animosity that cost us economically & now militarily. Cooler & wiser brains are needed to preserve a close alliance w/ our neighbor.

To the many people determined to ignore the obvious and claim "it's all accounting tricks..." NATO has agreed definitions of what can and cannot be counted. It monitors to ensure compliance. And here's NATO's latest:

[Thomas Juneau @thomasjuneau]

Has Canada long neglected defence? 100% true. But it just reached 2% of GDP, with more to come. Strong alliances have always been a key US advantage relative to the USSR and now China; Trump is squandering what has long been a major source of US power.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@CKRiverside Can you guess the name of a country that has long welcomed legal non-citizen residents into its armed forces? Starts with a "U." Ends with an "S."

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@TomTSEC Three-quarters of recent recruitment expansions were citizens.
And do you know who has long welcomed legal, non-citizen residents into their armed forces? The US.
And a long list of programs underway now says you are ignoring reality in favour of a politically driven assumption.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@regg70628 This is fantasy.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

FREDERIKSEN: Main reason Ukraine still standing is Ukraine. We supported them, that’s good. But we were slow on weapon deliveries, imposed red lines. Ukraine still not in NATO. We asked them to fight with one hand behind their back. Huge mistake. You have to fight war to win it.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@scotty_karr There is no Amazon next-day delivery for weapons systems, friend. It takes the US military a decade to buy a hammer.
There is real change underway. The submarine fleet procurement, for one, is moving at what experts in the field consider a startlingly fast pace.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@MylesFichter As with everything Ezra writes, there are occasional nuggets of reality mixed in there, but mostly it's distortions and nonsense. (eg. the "massive attack ad" was run by Conservative Premier Doug Ford, not Carney.)

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@kirkrussell4 Nonsense. https://t.co/RJpsTDUf5W

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

For the people who keep insisting nothing real is changing in the Canadian Armed Forces: You are wrong.
Here is one of many indicators of huge change underway. https://t.co/9Zrw8n7iZK

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@bobby_biff Pure fantasy.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@scotty_karr Bullshit. New ships, a whole fleet of submarines, a new fleet of jets. And as for the army: https://t.co/RJpsTDUf5W

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@AmericaExpanded @RepDonBacon People like you simply refuse to take "yes" for an answer.
The Carney government agreed we badly underfunded the CAF and it boosted spending 50% with further boosts that will take spending to 150% above 2024 levels. There are huge changes coming. To ignore that is ridiculous.

[Dan Gardner @dgardner]

@GregoryJGalante @acoyne https://t.co/ETTlVt1REc
As for "just announcements," we have a fleet of frigates on the way, a new fleet of submarines well into procurement, a new fleet of jets soon to be ordered, and as for the army... https://t.co/9Zrw8n7iZK
