Is there reason to believe this is the worse option?
It isn't. The German subs are more fit for extended arctic patrols which is a key requirement. The Korean subs advantage was vertical launch cruise missile capability, which is nice, but not a core function. It loses head to head because it would need an unproven Canadianization cold weather package and has limited underwater and stealth run times due to lack of a hydrogen fuel cell. It's lithium batteries are substantial, but not as proven or as capable. The German subs were the obvious choice for those paying attention.
I can't speak to that, I am not a naval expert. I just assumed Carney was never seriously considering the SK option.
This is kind of funny after the major China deal and all the noise the bigots on the other side of the fence said about that one. I'm pretty sure the most important color to Carney is green.
How major a deal was that, really? 49k cars when we sold 1,918,861 in 2024. (Oh, and significant chunk of those "Chinese" imports are fucking Teslas.)
It was certainly a major PR win for Carney at a time when our anger at the US was boiling over.
Ah, so this is an entirely self-contained belief system. He chose this option because he's "eurocentric," and he's eurocentric because he chose this option.
Sure, I guess, if you think the only thing I've ever heard about Carney is this particular news.
If you are kind enough to assume I'm not a total dipshit, you might consider that I've noticed other signs.
So, just talking out of your ass then.
No, I just try to keep my eye on the wider picture.
Really. The UK, a basket case of a country that is coming apart at the seams, with a separatist party running each of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, gets this kind of treatment but the continent of Africa doesn't even get a guy to go check things out? Despite everyone saying it's set to boom and Carney having a mandate to seek out new trade relationships? Give your head a fuckin' shake.
I'm sure in your mind somewhere, there is a very logic link.
But realize that for everyone outside your bubble, picking between a South Korean's company submarine model and a German's company submarine model has absolutely no relation whatsoever with Africa, and probably not much to do with the UK either.
The point was to illustrate Carney's Eurocentrism with an example, seeing as people seemed to assume my opinion was settled based on the submarine news alone. I wasn't trying to link Africa with South Korea, Germany, or Norway.
