I think a big part is NK postures like a threat, but often only meddles in its own affairs in the grand scheme of things. Russia is actively waging a war against Ukraine and China has been provoking trade wars and digital spying/manipulatation.

I also think NK size and posturing actually makes the world more ready to deal with them than the other 2 countries. NK is a much smaller nation to monitor than russia or china and since it pretty much only plays hostile, everyone is already a little on edge with them whereas both russia and china want to play by the rules most of the time but can be risky to trust.

However I'm just a guy on the internet and I certainly have a flawed view of these countries and the whole geopolitical situation so maybe NK actually deserves 30% in reality.

Absolutely absurd to think North Korea is a bigger threat than china and russia combined.

It was those damned bike lanes keeping them poor. Things should turn around now that bike lanes are illegal.

Seems like something easy enough to fix by installing those same communication systems into the other planes.

If you have to leave your house for your job or other responsibilities, you may return to find the snow is over the mouth of that shovel. I guess I'm biased because I'm young and able bodied. Screwing around with that electric shovel would probably take me twice as long as just shoveling it.

Idk. Sounds like the US whining but I guess a news article also isn't going to reveal exact security terms and threats. Canada was going to use the same number of planes but from a different country and manufactured on Canadian soil with Canadian jobs. I think thats the biggest "threat" trump is worried about.

Also you should consider seperating your opinion from the quoted text using mark up.

Protecting relatives from unwarrented assaults or harassment is the only reasonable logic behind keeping it a secret.

But why isn't Canada allowed to use whatever other jets it buys for that? Why does it have to be American made f-35s?

Oh they'll be shit faced before the Canadians, some of them might manage to stay up long enough to be shit faced with them.

It might be rare for Brampton but probably at least once a year snow would be deeper than the mouth on that. Those things are great for pathways or patios but they often don't throw enough volume of snow or throw it far enough to be useful on a driveway

There are often some small engine shops or hobbyists that have some blowers for sale. Sometimes they'll even have fully refurbished ones.

I will say, how humbling it would be to be a liberating force for the Americans shortly after being threatened with annexation. Maybe some Americans would even help burn the white house this time if that ends up being the case.

I've been having some minor issues with comments. Once a comment thread gets longer than 3 or 4 comments, accesing those deeper comment chains becomes very inconsistent/impossible. The "view more" button to see the rest of the comments will sometimes just disappear or do nothing when pressed. When accessing deep threads from my inbox or profile it will start at the top of the comment thread and fail to load/access the deeper comments, including the comment I used to navigate to that thread. Has anyone else had similar issues or found solutions?

 

The past couple updates whenever I'm browing "all" with sort set to "hot" the first few pages of scrolling is accurate but then it turns to posts that are 6months-2years old. This is only after 1-2 minutes of scrolling. Has anyone else had this issue?
