Another one in Canada.

But I heard there were actually two in Canada besides the one in Alaska.

Edit: Ok, it was only one in Canada. But there is a third now, shot down over lake Huron.

Depending on who you ask, those objects will either be Russian, Chinese, Deep State, BLM or Greenpeace (spying on Candian seal clubbing) objects

LOL. Thanks for the list. A news reporter wants to interview me about this story, so now I have suspects to lay out for them. 😉

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.

For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

USS Chancellorsville renamed USS Robert Smalls

Totally approve of this. Robert Smalls was a badass and should have had a movie made about him by now. This will do.

Also as soon as I saw the name of the ship I thought it was odd. Is there a USS Little Big Horn or a USS Kasserine Pass floating around out there?

The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration just signed a deal with Finnish SACO to supply us with new rifles for our army.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

A bit of airplane nostalgia... no, not the Concorde, but the probably way less known F-111. Famous and infamous in Australia.  Acquisition was a mess, but it ended up with a very long time in service. Got retired in 2010...

I was surprised when that didnt happen when Russia attacked the MQ-9.

A bit like shooting mosquitoes with flame throwers?

I mean, before ramming the MQ-9 down, they twice dumped fuel on it to try to down it. I was surprised when the Su-27 exhaust didnt ignite the fuel and burn the MQ-9.

True... maybe that was the pilots original intention, but if it's (the airplane fuel) anything like the fuel on their old Soviet aircraft carrier, it's a mix of coal dust, olive oil, turpentine and a bit of diesel or something calling it mazut, it's probably almost impossible to ignite, even intentionally 😛

Defense of Ukraine в Twitter: „russians call Ukrainian Crimea an "unsinkable aircraft carrier". The “carrier" that enjoys a smoke is now left without its favorite planes. 9 fewer as of yesterday. Photo

Finland officially becomes 31st member of NATO alliance - Breaking Defense

Jealousy stems from a terrible fear of being abandoned and leads to behaviour that is so awful that the person will indeed be abandoned. This is just one example of how people manage to engineer precisely that which they don't want to happen.

I am reminded of a certain Mr. Putin whose plan was to ensure that no nations should join NATO anymore and who decided to act towards that end.
