@culturalrenaissance: Attack plans for the Martians, anyone? 🛸🇺🇸🇨🇦 During a press briefing at the Indo Pacific Chiefs of Defence conference in Victoria, U.S. Indo Pacific Commander Admiral Samuel Paparo was hit with a blunt question: Under what circumstances would he follow an order to launch military action against Canada? Paparo visibly bristled at the question, calling the hypothetical scenario "absolutely and utterly preposterous" and dismissing it as a "needlessly emotional" inquiry. When pushed on whether he would execute such an order from the commander in chief, he remarked that a military conflict with Canada is about a: likely as needing "attack plans for the Martians". While the admiral stressed that Canada remains a close and indispensable ally, the tense exchange highlights just how much political and trade friction has ramped up North South cross border rhetoric lately.
