@aseriouscanadian

Retired Infantry Officer, I’ve witnessed the best and worst in the world. Father of two awesome young men and very lucky to have had my wife stick with me thru our 30-year career. Trying to figure out my place in a post-service life.

didn't the Orange man just say "I guess that what happens in war..." The enemy always has a say in the plan.

After a week of war, Trump says only Iran deal he'd accept would be 'unconditional surrender' | CBC

How can the Orange man demand "Unconditional Surrender" if he doesn't think he is at War? Square that circle all MAGA gov't sycophants. www.cbc.ca/news/world/l...

Leaders without a conscience and empathy have no place making decisions regarding combat. Remembering the sacrifices your troops made is the burden of command.

The King of the cult called him. An offer no MAGA can refuse.

Sadly, yes. He's driving by the off-ramps that progressively increase in cost at each opportunity.

War should be a solemn and reluctant last resort. Not a parody speech from a B action movie.

BREAKING: US and Israel Ilegally Attack Iran

In launching the strikes, Trump told Iranians: 'When we are finished, take over your government.'

As she speaks, it's as if she is realizing (in real time) that the absurd decision has destroyed her credibility and made her a Kremlin shill.

Canada has four years to re-examine how they ‘deliver hockey to women and girls’: journalist Sports journalist Laura Robinson says she hopes that Canada will continue to support women and girls in hockey after the ‘wake-up call’ of the Olympics.

What's wrong? "Canada has four years to re-examine how they ‘deliver hockey to women and girls’: journalist" Laura Robinson. What is CTV getting at here? @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social. They made it to the finals and lost in OT, got silver. The system is working just fine! www.ctvnews.ca/video/2026/0...

I think Minnesota could do a lot worse for a tourism slogan than "Minnesota: we treat Nazis like Nazis"

You need do some mathing here CTV. Its 2026 and we don't have a population of 57 million. Editors are good for news organizations.

Good news, a federal government who is thinking beyond one election or next on defence investment. I never thought I'd say that about a Canadian gov't.

‘We were the frontline’: Canadian veterans outraged by Trump’s NATO comments U.S. President Donald Trump is facing backlash from Canadian veterans after suggesting NATO allies did little during the war in Afghanistan, comments veterans say ignore their painful sacrifices.

I was in Afghanistan. My Canadian team and the Afghan Army Infantry Company I mentored were outside the wire 95% of the time for 6 mos. We had casualties (CA&ANA), teamed up with different US units in Combat Ops. My medic treated US casualties. Trump disgusts me.

Opinion | Mark Carney spoke for America’s frustrated allies — but they’re not going anywhere Michael A. Cohen: America’s Western allies have had enough — or so they say.

@speechboy71.bsky.social. This article got it wrong. Many false equivalencies. Previous Gov’ts arguments with the EU/CA didn’t include threat of invasion, economic warfare, pro-Putinism and a world watching as rule of law is ignored within/outside your borders.

Fukuyama: Trump is a bully who wants to dominate everyone around him. Trying to placate him with concessions is a fool’s errand. He despises weakness.

As an American, I say to my European friends: do not back down. Appeasing Trump with flattery has failed and must stop.
