⚡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.” 4 Likes 1 Share |

⚡First confirmed destruction of an Israeli Drone Dome system in the SMO zone. At 30 seconds into the video, the system is seen destroyed along with its command post, which was hiding in a garage. Irony of fate: the anti-drone system was taken out by a drone. The Israeli-made Drone Dome is a counter-drone system designed to detect, track, and neutralize UAVs using electronic warfare and laser interception. Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, it’s a key part of Israel’s air defense capabilities. Despite Israel’s official stance of neutrality, Israeli military technology has found its way to Ukraine, likely via third-party deals. The Drone Dome’s presence suggests Kiev is seeking advanced anti-drone defenses against Russian UAVs, which have played a crucial role in the conflict. This marks a significant blow to Ukraine’s counter-drone efforts and raises questions about the silent transfer of Israeli defense tech to the battlefield.

Guestmale:Could not defeat how? Were Russia on the front lines in Syria? Syria had over 200k troops defending their country, Russia had less than 5k troops in Syria. Why didn't the Syrians fight for their own country? They had the numbers. The rebels were only 18,000. Worry more about the dictators in Africa the US is supporting. Or the Saudi dictator who butchered a reporter in broad daylight. |

⚡Trump: It would be great if everybody would get rid of their nuclear weapons. I know Russia and us have by far the most. China will have an equal amount within 4-5 years. It would be great if we could all de-nuclearize because the power of nuclear weapons is crazy.
