[mota bhai 2,675]

Six ... CF-18 fighter jets left for Romania Tuesday to take part in increased NATO patrols over Eastern Europe amid rising tensions with Russia over Ukraine.

The multi-role military aircraft took off from their base in Bagotville, Quebec, at 9 a.m. local time.

...

In Romania, Nicholson said, the jets will be conducting "training activities in support of (NATO) reassurance measures" in Central and Eastern Europe to demonstrate what another official described as "the strength of Allied solidarity in response to Russian aggression."

...

Four warplanes from Denmark are also en route to the region.

The Quebecois take Romania very very seriously.

In other news, the RAF has taken over supporting the Polish Air Force contingent providing Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) cover for the Baltic states, stationed at Siauliai air base in Lithuania.

Four Typhoons, replacing ten Eagles? Sounds about right.

It all could have been avoided too. Of course Nobel Prize winners know what is best I guess.

The danish Air Force still only work 8-5 right?

I wonder if Barry starts WW3 they will jerk his NB?

Just a point of fact: Canada sent the jets. They just happened to be in Québec. Québec doesn't have the power to deploy jets. It's a province, not a country, as much as some Québecois would prefer they were their own country.

Sorry to be #######. I was just pretty amused.

Example. You're blaming the president for someone else's aggression. This is putins fault. So will anything else it leads to. You blame fdr for ww2 or Hitler?

You're also blaming this on the reaction of the president. It's putins fault.

No I blame the post WW1 draconian oppression of Germany on WW2.

Why not go farther? If ww1 didn't happen, the botched post ww1 policies wouldn't have been a problem. Why don't we try murder's parents or whoever lead them down a bad path instead of the actual murderer. Germany may not have had the best situation after ww1 but I'm pretty sure there were better ways than global war to resolve them. Same with ol shirtless McGhee.
