  • I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the President has a 30 day authority to use the military anywhere in the world. After 30 days he needs congressional authority. He can get a second 30 days while that’s going on and if Congress says no then he has to remove all troops within a final 30 day period.

    If Congress never says anything then he effectively has a blank check.

    Your best bet would actually be to run TV Ads trying to get the military to refuse the order. I think a large percentage actually would. I also think he’s going to invade Mexico first and if he does invade Canada he’ll do it like the Russians did Ukraine. (They told their troops it was a training mission and then only told them at the border that it was real)








  • In that specific match up the F-35 would win the majority of the time. The Rafale would win when it was able to get inside the F-35’s missiles. The problem is a modern fighter versus fighter engagement starts with long range missiles launches. So the side that sees first launches first. Then they go into tight S turns to keep radar tracking on their missiles while maintaining range. At some point the enemy also acquires them on radar and does the same thing. They will keep doing this until the enemy missiles reach a minimum distance and they will dive and turn away with chaff. This breaks the radar link but you’re hoping the missiles are close enough to acquire targets on their own. So the side that sees the other one first and launches first, even by a few seconds gains a massive advantage. That’s what stealth tech is about.

    Now that said, there is a Euro stealth fighter in the works, but it’s not expected until 2040.




  • So the record currently stands at…

    Zelensky - Let’s try a deal, we just need security guarantees

    Trump - Why are you so Disrespectful?

    Zelensky - Let’s try a deal, we just need security guarantees

    Trump - Putin is a victim we’re undoing sanctions

    Zelensky - Let’s try a deal, we just need security guarantees

    Trump - Why won’t Zelensky do a deal?

    Zelensky - Let’s try a deal, we just need security guarantees

    Trump - We’re stopping Aid.
