Okay.

Not sure I see the whole value in the "whataboutism" here, but I'll take your point at face value as I have no cause to argue.

The key element to remember about Canada's foreign policy is that addressing threats overseas before they become threats domestically.

Leopards were deployed to great effect in Afghanistan, for example.

8 may very well be half of our operational 2A4's at this point lol

Last report I remember seeing was that the number was potentially as low as 15.

If the report in January is true, and only 15 are said to be operational and ready to use for the Canadian Forces, we're going to need to replenish - and soon. One hopes the Liberals find a way to get over their disdain for military funding and procurement and equip our forces properly.

That said, if Ukraine needs them, even the ones in a state of disrepair, then we should be sending them. I don't care if the next shipment is just boxes of parts, if they can use them, then do it lol
