Can the US choose to switch off European weapons? German officials are sounding the alarm over what they say is a "kill switch" embedded in the US-made F-35 fighter jet. Experts say it's not that simple.

Please @bmvg-bundeswehr.bsky.social kill the killswitch before it will kill us. Every Euro spend into the free democratic world order (trading partners with shared values) is rightly spent. www.euronews.com/next/2025/03...

6th generation Eurofighter is slated for production starting 2030. We could procure a few 5th Gen Rafale aircraft in the meantime. #CdnPoli #nationaldefence

(Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press) Carney says he’s announcing a new plan to “rebuild, reinvest and rearm” the military. “Defence spending has more than doubled in the last decade, but it’s not enough for the new environment we’re in,” he said at the Irving Shipyard in Halifax.

Carney’s pledges included: filling the armed forces’ shortage of 14,500 members; expanding the navy’s capability with new submarines and icebreakers in the North; and speeding up investment in the armed forces “to defend every inch of sovereign territory while defending and supporting allies abroad.”
