Pretty well trod formula because its so goddamn effective. It's why I've always figured genetic memory was bullshit; we've been blowing it for so long you'd think we'd jump at fascists and warlords like we do snakes and rats

All fines are fees for these fucks. Corporations just add a line while budgeting and carry on

https://www.19fortyfive.com/2026/05/canada-was-going-to-buy-88-f-35s-today-its-only-committed-to-16-and-hedging-on-14-more-as-saab-pitches-the-gripen-alternative/

This is the most recent article I see. Seems they're making parts payments to keep in the queue while reviewing. Should obviously have never signed up for 88 f 35s in the first place in my opinion. It was obvious then as it's obvious now that America was going to be an incredibly adversarial partner, unworthy of trust.

Their recent actions make it glaringly obvious any purchase planes comes with severe risk.

If anything he should be mad at the Americans for emboldening China so much with that toddler walk of a presidential visit. As far as they're concerned the only real obstacle would have been America. I don't believe China is concerned what a Canadian Conservative MP has to say on the matter. He's in bed, or his superiors are, with the people making China's attitude towards Taiwan, moving forward, possible. Furthermore I doubt they're terribly concerned with what Canada at large as to say, either. Not truly.
It seems to me that China has been awfully patient and has enjoyed watching China's Nation Builder, Trump, flounder and boast and give them everything they've dreamed of for long enough. "Taiwan? After all, why shouldn't it be ours?"

For the record I stand with Taiwan. I'd rather not be misconstrued as saying China should be rewarded with Taiwan for good behavior or some crap

That's a half step away from being a mean Beaverton headline
