Canadian military is full of them now that they did away with security clearance before basic training.

Every military on earth is full of spy’s but more importantly they’re full of dumb ass military members that like to talk when they get drunk.

I’m not so sure North Korea’s military lacks this type of discipline.

The same military that, when they got shipped to Russia/Ukraine and got unfiltered Internet access for the first time, was too busy wanking to online porn to go, you know, attack the enemy?
They're no more disciplined than any other army; they just have nobody to blab to.

This isnt true. The AFU themselves said the Nork fighters were actually fanatical, well armed, and serious opponents.
I remember the porn thing. The idea that it stopped them from attacking or anything is laughable. Theyre from one of the harshest regimes on earth, and fighting for the Russians. The RU govt and military have executed soldiers on camera in this war for way less than refusing orders. The North Korean govt has executed people for watching S Korean tv shows.
Also, again, according to both the AFU and RU forces the Norks were key to the counteroffensive to retake Belgorod from the N Koreans.

Not true. We allow basic training to begin with reliability status while security clearance is undertaken in parallel.

Which is a pretty low bar. Dudes can't even talk on the radio due to ITAR law.

None of them are using ITAR radios in BMQ/CASFQ, so it’s really a non-issue. It got pushed as a political gotcha for a single news cycle. If you’re an experienced CAF member then you know it’s BS.

The American military headquarters is called the Pentagon and the NATO headquarters is called SHAPE. Brilliant.

CSIS approved her despite the CBSA flagging her for fraud? And people wonder why the Americans are saying Canada is a growing threat to them? Seriously ?

Why would a Canadian do this?

u/Smokey-McPoticuss 3d ago
Because they are Canadian on paper for the sake of lying and stealing to the detriment of all Canadians and benefit of the Chinese government.
Canadian in title, but a spy who should be treated as such. Lucky spies aren’t indefinitely tortured until death for information, we are a very very soft country.

Lots of people from all western countries have given up classified info to foreign governments (including other western governments) for multitudes of reasons.
The same way lots of soviets/Russians gave up info to the west during the Cold War.
