oh.... damn. I’m Canadian so our subs basically just use messenger geese and smoke signals from the flames off their engines.

Yup - they support the crap out of them.

This article is very misleading. The US spends nearly twice the agreed 2% of its GDP on defense, 3.6% to be exact. We’re a large country with global commitments. No one expects Latvia to have the same kinds of commitments. But all of the Baltic states are in the direct line of fire of a newly belligerent Russia…

i’m not proud of it, but is blaming america for all of europes problems really much better?

To be fair, a lot of people died.

Most Americans can’t imagine the challenges Europe has with the influx of refugees.

Without the tanks the pro-Russian hicks in the Donbass would be forced to the bargaining table.

I will sell you a French tank(s), they are in great shape, only used in one gear, reverse.

Yeah, French weapons are great. They have never been fired and only dropped once.

It probably could, but there’s no need. The Nimitz and Ford class carriers will get the F-35C, which is the CATOBAR version.

No time for accuracy on FA.

Gonna have to be that guy for a minute and point out that Newport News Shipbuilding was spun off from Northrop Grumman years ago, and is now part of Huntington Ingalls Industries, which also operates the former Ingalls Shipbuilding on the Gulf Coast. They also build destroyers, cutters, amphibious warfare vessels, and…
