Yeah, ngl forcing a unit to deploy after taking upwards of 20% casualties in training says more about the state of your total force than it does about some sort of determination…
That’s a desperation move when there are no other units able to go, and it speaks to how unserious the national leadership is about the deployment. If they actually considered the deployment legitimate they wouldn’t send an understrength force on purpose.
@INArteCarloDoss And go into winter without energy imports? While France is teetering on the edge of something serious? Do you want extreme far right control of Europe?
@tylerblack32 Once again unable to quantify exactly who is following Canada lol. Canadian global leadership is definitely real! Look at how Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America all follow Canada!
@thereeljackass@KatieMiller Yes they will, look it up yourself. They’ve already signed the contracts, and Europe told them to kick rocks. Canada is exploring eventually moving to Rocket Lab (also American) somewhere around 2030 though.
They factually did in fact kidnap, s*xually abuse, and then murder a non adult.
Detainee is a legally defined term, and the kidnapping did not meet the legal requirements.
There is no excuse for pedos in the ranks.
Although it was convenient timing for the CAF to divest a capability that it could not actually afford and did not need.
@SKivimaa Having worked directly with CAF many times.
Commanders are in a bad position due to lack of funding. Very few chances to conduct certain training and limited timelines. Can set conditions for incompetent commanders to ignore vital safety rules.
@star_excelsior@williamcrawley Yes, again the difference is the detail at which the military is doing it. There is a massive difference between collecting and analyzing things to study, and providing real time intelligence to a force in combat…
@nofreelunch69@Koperkan@ChrisO_wiki No, none of them have sovereign space based telecommunications. That’s why they use SpaceX…
The entire context of this conversation is sovereignty over space based telecommunications…
@star_excelsior@williamcrawley The U.S. would not be doing things like full battlefield mapping in real time if all Russian SAM systems. If not to supply that to Ukraine..
