We had two F-35s show up at the airport two days ago, and they've been coming and going. Left again this morning.


Aren't those the planes that are super cool, but keep having problems?

Canadians smart enough not to shoot a ballon down with a million dollar guided missile.

Wait until you hear about the Royal Marines integrated into the USMC chain of command.

Because Canada is far too polite to do something like that.

Especially true for pointy nose baws. Me and my rubber dog shite hauling military brethren, on the other hand, have a solid peace time mission.

Does Canada even have an Air Force?


I believe their Military’s motto is “By Moose or By Sea”.

Since neither of those were an option, we pitched in and helped.

NORAD.

Doesn’t the “N” stand for North American?

Sorry. I see this was already covered.

Now. A “cylindrical item” was underneath the balloon? Are they trying other means to deliver weapon systems?

A launched missile is detected. But a balloon? Can it get into airspace without detection and drop a bomb or dirty bomb? You blow up the balloon the weapon still drops? You destroy a nuclear weapon it still detonates. 40,000 feet above ground is still a major problem.
