USA: “We’re kicking you out of the Pentagon working group we’ve had since 1939!”
Canada: *Buys EU planes and drones*

Considering the success these AWACS had against rafales during Pak India conflict, wouldn’t be surprised that they follow it up with SAAB Gripen as well.

And America will blame everyone but Trump and the Republicans for making their brand nuclear waste toxic around the world.
Give respect to get respect.
And you disrespect the planet when you send a criminal fraud rapist as your representative to the world.

Not saying it’s a bad thing but given all these moves Canada has made in the last few weeks you have to know the USMCA is definitely dead.

As a Canadian I would like to buy EU on literally anything possible, why would you buy military equipment from a country threatening to annex you.

Good for them! I think Canada and Mexico should have a trade agreement without Trump. He would physically meltdown.

This is an easier deal to make than the attack aircraft. One issue Canada has buying military aircraft is NORAD requirements mean they have to be able to log into the US secure data systems. That’s for early warning systems, friend of foe IDs, that kind of thing. Saab says their Grippens can be made compliant with those requirements and the US answer has basically been ‘How in the F are you logging into my secure data systems in order to be compliant’? That is something I am not sure how to work around but hopefully the Canadian deal makers can solve.
This will be a Canadian built aircraft using European radar and censors. The aircraft itself will be able to log into the US secure data systems which is something a European manufactured aircraft cannot. Boeing basically has the login credentials Saab does not.

Hopefully it’s easier to put together than their furniture.

Oh thank fuck. I’d much rather have Sweden spying on everything we do & possessing the secret remote access shutoff. Not those other guys who are geographically closer to us.

Now to see if we decide to get those Gripens
