Trump is playing 4D chess here. he has baited Canada into a ridiculous knee jerk reaction. instead of doing what is best for Canada, all the politicians there are just acting out of spite against the USA , with no real long term plan to deal with us.

i suspect when its all said and done Trump will get all the Canadian tariffs removed and they're all going to turn on Carney because spite is not an effective foreign policy long term.

Canada doesn't have enough GDP to stand alone and it's love for China and communist island regimes provides no leverage at all, to anyone.
I hope their new bedfellows provide them great comfort.

So, the ones we built are still having issues...... So, china built a bunch and they work?

A 2012 report by Rear Admiral Samuel Perez, USN, found that the ships lacked the manpower and firepower to complete the missions required by regional combatant commanders. The report found that the LCS is "ill-suited for combat operations against anything but" small, fast boats not armed with anti-ship missiles. It also found that the excessive beam (width) of the trimaran Independence-class ships may pose a "navigational challenge in narrow waterways and tight harbors".[131]

Reduced procurement and early retirement​

On 14 December 2015, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter ordered the Navy to reduce the planned procurement of LCS and FF ships from 52 to 40

Littoral Combat Ship: $100,000,000,000 Billion U.S. Navy Mistake​

program faced design disputes, cost overruns, faulty weapon systems, and frequent maintenance issues.

Why is US Navy Retiring a 6-Year Old Ship?​

Taking a guess here. Did the Admirals overseeing this procurement retire and get a board position on the companies producing these ships? This is just more corruption and theft of taxpayer money! Not to mention treason!

OK... this ...entire event really pisses me off... I'm a pilot, and when I took flight training, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here; my flight instructor was competent enough to sense danger and say "I'm taking control". ...or something like that.

Was the flight instructor DEI also? WTF?
He was probably trying to avoid being blacklisted for questioning a female.

Thank the AMA.

My latest Cholesterol Total was 182. HDL was 68. My ratio was 2.7:1

My doctor said I needed to start a statin as my 10-year risk of a heart attack or stroke was 7.6%.

I burst out laughing. She told me she had to say it because of my age.
