I mean, you are literally threatening to invade them and to welcome their independent movements ...

NORAD can no longer even be trusted, although pulling out of it will push them towards NATO and the EU, so thanks in advance.

"Hey, remember when we turned off your allies access to intelligence in Ukraine because our president had a temper tantrum? Or when NATO had to send troops to deter American aggression? Or how we threaten to weaponize every American dependency we can? With all that in mind, how can you buy from anyone but us?!?"

Time to summon Hoekstra for a rebuke. Send him packing back to the Premier diaper Don, the bone spur draft dodging pedo protector.

I think norad is dead.

But if the US wants to lay out some cash as investment, we'll let them access the readings. Our dishes, our people, but if they pay subscription and capital then they get a copy of the data.

Stop reporting what that greasy, racist fucker says.

Greasy racist fucker… and an absolute idiot! Even if Carney thought the F35 was the better choice, purchasing it now would make him look like he was weak and submitted to the bullies. But since idiots are idiots, they keep piping up and shooting themselves in the foot every time.
