Fighter planes or more welfare payment to “poor refugees”?
Aircraft carrier at sea or more dough to Social (in)Security and SSI?
Ignatieff is a fag.
Well, I’m all for the Canadians wanting to buy F-35’s.
That said, unless the Bear has developed some amazing capabilities in the last few years, a Hornet ought to be able to shoot one down as easily as a JSF. This incident would seem to be about Tu-95 crews being able to get close to Canadian airspace before they were detected by ground radar, not the capability of the response fighters.
Perhaps adding a couple dozen Hawkeyes to the defense budget might be in order?
I hope the Canadians do buy F-35s from us. I’ll feel better if there is someone to the north of us with some up-to-date firepower.
