Two proud parents waited for the middle school marching band to pass by
during the town parade. Soon they saw all the children concentrating
hard, blaring on their clarinets and trumpets, and marching left, right,
left, right...

Except for their own little boy, who was marching right, left, right, left.

"Look, dear!" said the proud mother. "Everyone's out of step except our
little Donnie!"


One always wonders whether there will be a secondary effect of some of
these actions.

The U.S. is the largest exporter of arms in the world with $10 billion
of exports last year. How much of the $10 B is procured by Nato?

One might also not want to ignore the fact that NATO IS a neuclar
power with 200 odd neuclar bombs stored in various places in Europe.



One might argue that we make good hardware, software,
armament and kit. One might also argue that arms sales are
more political than economic so quality, price or
performance may not even be factors when compared to
arm-bending 'deals one cannot refuse' as it were.

How political can arms sales possibly be?

Being Canadian, they wouldn't want their surplus tanks used
to hurt people or anything like that:

the list of potential buyers was rather short due to
Canada's policy not to sell weapons to "problematic countries."

At least in the two wheeler world I really don't care about
your personal morals once your charge card runs and your
bike leaves my premises.
