Probably the opposite. By staying in NATO, but rendering it mostly obsolete, attacking Canada would be much less of a clear case of being an attack on NATO.

However, realistically speaking the rest of NATO has only limited force projection capabilities and thus wouldn’t be able to help Canada much.

If it was an article about an organisation that is 95% or so female then yes 🤷

I wonder why the BBC author seems to have explicitly chosen only images with what appears to be female Bundeswehr soldiers? Kinda odd choice 🤔

You need to set it to proxy all images.

Then you have not enabled to full image proxy (and note that it does not work retroactively). Here on our instance all the Nicole images were proxied correctly to protect the privacy of our members.

Lemmy does have a functional image proxy, but due to the storage and bandwidth requirements many larger instances have chosen to not enable it.

There was a recent study that even a limited nuclear war between India and Pakistan would cause a global nuclear winter with billions dying from hunger.

Any tactical use would quickly escalate to strategic use. Anyone who claims otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about (including the authors of the original article).

France has more than enough nukes as a deterrent. More important are credible second strike delivery mechanisms. Which rules out those silly gravity bombs the US has stationed in Germany for political reasons. How effective the French submarine fleet is in that regard is largely unknown, but on paper at least it looks solid.

Tagging @rimu@piefed.social as mentions don’t work in post bodies, only in comments.

Would be interesting indeed to have a database migration script or so.

Ah, because Nazis in Germany magically appeared with Hitlers birth and all magically disappeared when he committed suicide? 🙄

As I already said elsewhere, Rheinmetall itself might not sell, but the profits go to people that can invest them into other businesses that can sell and/or otherwise support fascists regimes around the world.

If people were as serious about it as they pretend to be, we would be talking about nationalizing those defense industries.

You know who the biggest shareholders of Rheinmetall are? US American investment fonds linked to fascists. And the original founders of all these German companies? Yeah, litteral Nazis.

They are of course happy to sell to both sides. They always do.

I hope some people will finally realize who really profits from all the increased defense spending. Because the people of Ukraine will not be it.
