^^ yea it's an excuse for the Western world, aka USA to build a military outpost there to "keep the peace" literally this can be stopped today Ukraine and Russia just has to talk it out, We clearly know that Ukraine has no resources of it's own to win this. They are just trying to beg their way too drag other people in. How will sending more weapons stop a war?
And so we get all the way back to square one -- should NATO just roll over and let Russia take Ukraine then? Isn't that what they did in 2014, and look where that has gotten us now? And if NATO really just rolled over and gave up on Ukraine, what do you think is going to happen to Poland and a number of other adjacent countries a few years down the road?
You do realize that Poland is right next to Germany, right?
If you think Ukraine and Russia can "just talk it out", I'd have to say you have zero understanding of how this war has been.
You do realize borders are imaginary and man made right? Are you gonna give your stolen Canadian land back to the natives? Give up that house? End of Sept is coming up.

Ukraine isn’t in NATO.

"This issue must reach its logical end after escalation .. it should not be left in the middle .. Mr Trudeau What are you? .. Today 10 of our submarines will go from Hindustan and nuke you Canada .. What is your place?" the Indian politician said in the video.
Why the fuck are you even trying to trot out people who fought against Russia.. like are you fucking insane? Lol who fought against Russia in WW2? The nazis, Italians, and whatever fringe countries formed the axis?
No shit the guy was a nazi, he was fighting against the allied campaign in the Russians you fucking fools! Lol like Jesus Christ the guy is the most stereotypical Hitler youth, SS German you’ve ever seen even in his 90’s and because it suits your little ra-ra campaign you bring him out without figuring out the most basic detail of his life?
Only Trudeau would trot out a nazi thinking it would be a good idea because it suited a publicity stunt that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Even senile fucking joe Biden wouldn’t be this stupid.

It was the house speaker, who carries no alliance with any party. I was waiting for the "it's trudeaus fault" post from you without understanding what happened. I'm surprised it took as long as it did.
This brings up a bigger issue in our political system here though, is that almost everyone at every level is just plain fucking stupid. The people in government are so concerned with image that they can't even pass grade 3 social studies.

Didn’t see any clip other than Zelensky and Trudeau pointing at and praising a guy who is almost certainly a Nazi in the crowd, so figured it was Turds handy work as he seems to have a knack for situations like this
While it’s pretty clearly the house speakers fault, a quick search seems to show the party hosting these types of events should probably vet the guests being invited who they are to praise in a scripted speech lol…

While the Speaker is supposed to remain impartial for his official duties they still have party allegiance because they're sitting MP's. The Speaker has been a Liberal MP since 2004, it's impossible for him to be 100% impartial. Either way the Prime Minister was made aware and approved bringing this guy in to Parliament for the dog and pony show during a foreign dignitaries visit. So long story short you're right but they're both equal fucking idiots.
There is shocking revelation by the Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra that Justin Trudeau was high when he came to India for G20. Sniffer Dogs found cocaine on his plane. Justin Trudeau didn’t even come out of his room for two days, leaving him unable to attend G20 programmes.

This is a good example of why I'm willing to go on the defence for canada when people overuse terms like facism, and accuse the media of lying all the time. The media here totally puts a spin on things, right or left pending the outlet, but no one's just sitting on the shitter making up random rumours and passing it off as fact. That's fucking pathetic.

I have friends who did the most simple things like volunteer for Team Canada at the Beijing Olympics and Sochi Olympics and in both places anytime they left any venue obviously had agents and police following them and were told to not bring phones or other devices or let these agents bump into them because they'd be cloning phones and doing all kinds of espionage... one person did bring their phone somewhere and "lost" it and then it magically appeared again on another table and the CSIS people with them took the phone and isolated it, they found it was full of backdoor software already.
When people talk about living in fascist states and then indicate they live in places like Canada, they have no fucking idea what they're talking about. Like... zero... none at all. We're not even on the spectrum governmentally.

Yeah, appeasement has always historically been fantastic policy, one which is guaranteed to stop agressors and prevent them from conducting future invasions and conquering more territory....
*looks up European History 1938-9*
Ah Crap!
As I mentioned in the other Ukraine War thread, NATO is only as good as a member country's pledge to support it. To date only the US has ever invoked article 5 after 9/11. It has never been invoked in european conflict. Only a few years ago the USA had a president advocating for them leaving NATO altogether. I can't imagine Bud and Cleetus in Alabama are going to give more of a fuck if Russia wants to take a slice of Poland or Lithuania than they currently do about Ukraine. There is no guarantee of support. Much better to provide funds to stop the cancer from being able to spread now, then trying to fight it later with your own bodies.
Side note: Due to Russian sanctions, Canada's potash industry is having a huge boom, shipping double the tonnage per year over 2021...
it's so weird that dude wanted to be there and reached out... he had to have known that if his name hit anything resembling a headline there'd be calls for extradition and tribunals

At 98 I assume he didn't understand a ton. Would be cool if canada didn't let nazis live out their golden years here though.
This is by far the most embarrassing thing canada has done in recent memory, and there should be at least one job lost because of it, if not more.
