⚡Canada should cancel the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the U.S.

Michael Byers, co-director of the Outer Space Institute, urges Canada to cancel its F-35 purchase, citing U.S. political instability and reliance on American-controlled systems.

He warns that without access to the aircraft’s source code, Canada would lack full operational control, compromising its sovereignty.

Lockheed Martin, the U.S. defense contractor responsible for the F-35, refuses to share this code with foreign customers, even close allies. This means:


• Every training or combat mission would require a mission data load processed through U.S. computing facilities.

• The U.S. government could deny access to these facilities, effectively crippling Canada’s F-35 fleet if it chooses to exert pressure.

• The stealth coatings on the jets can only be maintained in the U.S. or Australia, further limiting Canada’s operational independence.

Byers gives a stark warning:

“If the United States wished to invade Canada, it could achieve air superiority – perhaps with just a few keyboard strokes.”

⚡Tom Goffus, NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Operations:

“We are woefully under-invested in our transatlantic defense industrial base to produce the capabilities we need at pace and at scale.

Russia, with an economy 5% the size of NATO, produces in three months many critical munitions that it takes 32 allies an entire year to produce. I know I’m not making friends amongst the industry at this point, but something is very wrong here, and we must fix it.”

Goffus expanded on that last lesson.

The defense industrial base has “not been this important in a long time,” he explained, adding that the U.S. has to step up its capacity to produce weapons.

Lithuania wants “to buy AMRAAMS for their NASAMS,” he stated. “Five-year wait. I talked to the Bulgarian CHOD [Chief of Defense]. They want to buy Javelins for their Strykers. Seven-year wait.

Italked to some of the big allies who want to buy Patriots. 10-year wait. That needs to get fixed.”

So whenever you hear so so country buys $500 trillion worth of weapons from USA.

Check the delivery date. Some are slated for delivery in 2059 😂 🤣

There's not a single one expected in less than 5 years. Even some arm shipments to Ukraine will arrive in 2030.

The funny part is the Eurofools paid in full for them.

Till date Turkey is threatening the US to return the money for the undelivered F-35 they paid for.
😭 🤣

This is why serious countries do all it takes to be self sufficient, have a thriving sovereign defense industry. India, China, Russia, Brazil, are in this group.

The West have tried economic sanctions against Russia, it failed. They went to the battlefield only for Russian military to crush them. Now they're going back to diplomacy. Because they know if things continue like this, there might not be a country called Ukraine in the future. But then they don't have the cards and bargaining power because Moscow is dominating the events on the battlefield hence the West will make a lot of concessions in any negotiated ceasefire agreement.

Imagine that Canada have to seek permission from Washington for aircraft code before they use F-35? Something wey US no give dem for free? Just like when Nigeria bought Super Tucano military aircraft from US. They inserted a clause on how we gonna use it. Only for Boko Haram terrorist in the NE. Suddenly, criminal herdsmen activities became rampant, bandits popped out in the NW. They even attacked ABJ-KAD train and kidnapped scores. In the East, UGM is wrecking havoc.

Demonstrations by Syrian citizens in front of the Russian Khmeimim Air base, demanding protection from Jolani's militants.
They want the same Russia military, they rejected to help them now.
SDF also want Russia military to intervene.
Reports are coming that the Israelis military is supporting them against HTS.

Brigadier General Ghiath Suleiman Dalla, a former officer in the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) 4th Division, is now at the forefront of the uprising in Syria.

Dalla is demanding a complete HTS withdrawal from Syria’s Alawite-majority coastal region, including Latakia and Tartous, in exchange for the unharmed release of HTS prisoners.

⚡A SpaceX rocket exploded shortly after it was launched from Texas on Thursday, grounding flights and triggering warnings about falling spaceship debris.

SpaceX confirmed the un-crewed ship had suffered "a rapid unscheduled disassembly" during its ascent into space, and lost contact with the ground.

The massive SpaceX Starship, the largest rocket ever created, spun out of control shortly after its launch. No injuries or damage have been reported but images from those in Caribbean Sea island nations show fiery debris raining from the sky.

This was the eighth mission to test the rocket, and its second consecutive failure.

The 123m (403ft) spaceship was meant to re-enter Earth's orbit over the Indian Ocean after a one-hour flight.

Its Super Heavy booster, which helps it leave the ground, did manage successfully to return to the launchpad.

You can't have a deal while you hold on to your policy of maximum pressure. The Iranians won't budge under your threat and pressure. Haven't America learnt lessons over the 40yrs of sanctions against Iran? The Iranians don't give a flipping 4uck.

Everything just dey pepper you these days. You are now even tagging your favorite western news sources as propaganda.

The news about the ship was reported by the UK-based Daily Times. This one about the hotel was reported by the UK-based Financial Times.

Both are pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine, but somehow, they have become unreliable news sources for you.

Defeat can be painful, I understand. Take heart 😂
I come dey use their own western propaganda against them.

None of them can accuse me of Russian propaganda because na their own "legit" source I dey use now.
