The Canadian Forces have hundreds of HF radios that it no longer needs that could be configured and deployed to Ukraine to assist them in their defence.
If these HF radios are immune to the EMPs from nuclear attacks then they need to stay in Canada. If by the slim chance things escalated to nuclear, Canada will be in the same boat as Ukraine.
We need to start getting serious about our own national defense before we get caught up in all-out war with Russia.
"In 2001, Russia brazenly laid claim to almost half the Arctic Circle and all of the North Pole. During a 2007 expedition, Russia planted its flag under the icefar beyond the internationally recognized 200-mile territorial limit known as the exclusive economic zone. At the time, the lead explorer provocatively declared, The Arctic is ours.
Russias outsized Arctic claims rest on a dubious interpretation of an underwater ridge linking to the Russian landmass. Russia argues that this ridge is an extension of its own continental shelf.
Never much for subtlety or nuance, Moscow has begun training troops that could be engaged in Arctic combat missions and increased the operational radius of its northern submarine fleet, according to one Russian general."
Phil - that's a good question, "What are we waiting for?"
To lower the stress being spewed everywhere, you could - please and thank you - write about how you sent your pitch to the folks who can actually make that happen.
Asking rhetorical questions is just the first part - the talk. And it's way past time to walk the talk!
I'd love to hear about that part of the story - how your good idea is put to use, how fast.
Really?..fight Russia back? you are one of those that is prepared to sacrifice Ukraine to push NATO to Russian border? This attack has been predicted by many people, refusing to see that Russia wants a neutral Ukraine as a neighbor, not a NATO-armed country, less than 500 km from Moscow.
Lovely thought, but by the time they could be deployed, that 60km-column will probably be in Kiev. If we can get all Trudeau's 2000 anti-tank rockets to them in 12 hours, time might be purchased.
For those who want to hear more about Putin/Ukraine, I suggest people listen to the following people on YouTube talk about Communism, Russia, China, Stalin, Ukraine situation, etc. - Stephen Kotkin and Frederick Kagan. Jordan Peterson just posted a talk with Kagan yesterday.
Thank you Phil, for sharing your expertise and suggestions. Very interesting. I'm very impressed with the articles The Line posts.

An excellent op-ed that helps (I hope) to sensitize people to this potentially important contribution that Canada could make.
