Yuuuge news! Bigly! South Korea delegation travelling to Canada to try and win a submarine project
Quick recap my fellow freedom-loving Canucks who are keeping their elbows up!
Canada sent out a bid to SK and DE - SK would get the subs deal if they built Hyundais here. DE would get the subs deal if they built VWs here. The fact SK are here with Hyundai execs means we're getting serious. Best news of all! We won't arrest and humiliate them! We will treat them like honoured guests with Canadian hospitality, like we always do!
Now let's bring Poland into this. Did you know Poland starting buying a bunch of arms from the South Koreans? Welp, it's true! Let me tell ya why:
CAPACITY
We've got global conflicts everywhere. We need armaments. The new Trump post-rules world is rife for conflict. So if we get our order in, we're getting subs. Dude, you're getting a Dell Sub!
What this means is that we need to lock up spare military production capacity while we can. Americans? Maxed out. Europeans? Close to it. SK, NL, DE - all great shipbuilders. You know who needs military hardware? The USA. And we're about to swoop right in and take some shipbuilding options out from underneath them and leave them with the Europeans who they have really pissed off. The USA has neglected their shipyards for decades. It's in trouble. They could not even project power in Iran due to their dalliances in Venezuela!
The USA needs ships and we're getting them. Even Australia are considering getting subs from France. If the USA builds subs, that's other ships they can't build.
Nice to have a PM who knows the score and is out there pounding the pavement to find business.
