Who will our insurgents comprise of? (Honest question). Aside from a small percentage of the population that has had weapons training (active and reserve military, police force, hunters) the vast majority have never touched a weapon before…
I hate to say it, but I don’t actually think they would (I might be wrong)… For a country like the UK to jump in, it needs its population to be in support. If it jumps into an armed conflict without the support of its population, it will have its own revolution to deal with.
I think we’ll see a similar, albeit more committed version of the type of response Ukraine received… Military equipment aid, sanctions against US, humanitarian aid.
The same goes with NATO Article 5… US makes up the majority of NATO funding contributions, and European countries have to contend with a continuously brazen Putin… With US threatening to pull away from NATO, it would be countries like Poland and Germany that will step up against Russia, so no capacity to support Canada…
I really really really hope I’m wrong.
It fucking sucks all around.

He sabotaged NA automotive, while inviting foreign automotive over.
I’m particularly fond of the Gripen. Just an opinion, but personally I hope we get our hands on those. But regardless, even if we get the best available fighter in the world, without the numbers, and the maintenance infrastructure, budget, resource and training to support them, it wouldn’t matter anyways
