Former NORAD chief questions Canada’s ‘urgency’ on Arctic defence

Trudeau has promised to buy fighter jets and subs ‘but there’s not a history of (Canada) taking those actions,’ says retired U.S. Gen. Glen Vanherck

As Canada and the U.S. focused in recent years on the “away game” of fighting terrorism in far-flung nations, Russia and China continued to target North America — and found a continent woefully unprepared for the threat, recently retired generals and other experts warned this week.

Assessing the imminent risks of an Iran-Israel nuclear war

Death To Israel Missile Iran

Though Iran is not-yet-nuclear, an asymmetrical nuclear war with Israel is still possible. Even a conventional war in the region could elicit calibrated nuclear operations by Israel. Any such unprecedented war scenario is most worrisome in circumstances wherein Iran would target Israel’s Dimona nuclear reactor and/or employ radiation dispersal weapons against the Jewish State. Similarly, unique escalations could follow in the wake of an Iranian resort to biological or electromagnetic pulse (EMP) ordnance.

Who knows know what the Mullahs think about a nuclear war but naming a missile “Death to Israel” is likely a broad hint.

Can A Catholic Support Kamala Harris? No.

It’s hard to imagine a self-titled “Catholic” organization advocating for a political regime that has illegally targeted Catholics, imprisoned Americans who dare to champion Catholic principles, and done everything in its power — legal or not — to slaughter unborn babies. But that’s exactly what the group “Catholics for Harris” is doing. At the latest virtual meeting of the inane organization, emcee Alex Nason hailed pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris as a leader “with a moral purpose, and as president she will lead with that same moral purpose,” according to CatholicVote.

It Is Biden and Harris Who Are Not Doing Enough to Free the Hostages

US President Joe Biden’s off-the-cuff, one-word answer — “no”— to the question of whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was doing enough to free Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity and get a cease-fire, will only encourage Hamas to up its demands and refuse to agree to a reasonable deal. So far, it appears as if Hamas, instead of negotiating, has just been saying, “no.” The US is reportedly no longer expecting a ceasefire before the November 5 US presidential election.

Biden’s remark sends a dangerous message to Israel’s and America’s enemies that, by continuing to terrorize and hold hostages, they can turn the Biden administration against Israel.

Former US President Donald Trump has said he will not take part in a second TV debate ahead of November’s presidential election.
