  • You may want to check that link.

  • Phew, I'm glad at least one person got it.

  • Killing for religion is something I don't understand.

  • Thanks. Would they take advantage of US distraction to move against TW? I doubt it - the US can easily fight another war on another front.

  • Paywalled - I can only see the first sentence.

  • I'm not sure it's fair to call this a cut - they just didn't repeat last year's temporary funding boost, which was explicitly framed as being temporary. CBC's funding is almost exactly what it was 2 years ago.

    Edit to add numbers for the 90% of people who won't read the article:

    • 2026-27: $1,383,252,311
    • 2025-26: $1,425,237,411 (later rose to $1,575,237,411)
    • 2024-25: $1,383,237,411 (later rose to $1,425,237,411)
    • 2023-24: $1,287,169,435 (no subsequent expenditures)
    • 2022-23: $1,266,123,241 (later rose to $1,287,123,241)
    • 2021-22: $1,229,423,241 (later rose to $1,250,423,241)
    • 2020-21: $1,210,797,846 (later rose to $1,247,497,846)
  • TBH Grok would probably tell them to avoid "femoids" and work on semen retention to activate their redpill powers.

  • Go bring that sarcasm to Ukrainians - I'm sure they'll love it.

  • OK then, but that's still idiotic.

  • If so, that's an idiotic strategy. It would be like Palestinians suicide-bombing EU countries to make them stop Israel's war.

  • I think mostly selling Rafales, but I'm not French so I can't speak to their motivations when choosing who to vote for.

  • Many on the left are under the misapprehension that being a pacifist must mean being defenceless.

  • Are you suggesting they simply ignore the defence treaties they signed with allies? Who do you think they are, Russia?

  • What exactly would they be defending? France is out of range.

    I see the geopolitics understanders have logged on...

  • The carrier is there strictly in a defensive posture. no? I'm not aware of France being involved in any attacks on Iran.

  • That's fine, they can survive on the large domestic market thanks to protectionist tariffs, and Americans can enjoy their very own Trabant equivalents

  • An industrial base generates a future yield too.
