So Biden reversed his initial decision, Ukraine is permitted to use US long range missiles to attack Russia. Biden must have said, 'Eff it', let Trump clean up the mess, he said he can end the war in 24 hrs ... let Ukraine bombed the hell out of Putin'.

Still ballistic missiles only, still not cruise missiles.
It's still a big change in policy, but it's not like they can just blast Russia non stop starting today
Here's a map showing the targets they could theoretically hit with these missiles, but again, only specific targets in Kursk are allowed with this change. (also as you can see, they can't reach Moscow)  | |

Russia has been kind of expecting something like this for a while now, so anything that is really valuable enough to be protected would already have been moved out of range of the ATACMS.

UK giving them permission to launch cruise missiles into Russia. It seems they want to see if they can get things done before Trump comes in and hands the country over to Putin.

Does anyone honestly care about Ukraine anymore? We broke and can't afford them. And the Ukrainian women who came already wants to go back home cuz we suck. I don't see no free Ukraine no more, barely any free Palestine women except a few unemployed people who protest on the willingdon bridge during work hours.

I do.
We're not broke, and the West can easily win without breaking a sweat or losing a single life. Letting it go would cost us way way more in the long run.

Canada has never been a major player in the war outside of welcoming quite a lot Ukrainian refugees into the country.
Biden is making a last ditch effort to help Ukraine with the easing of the ATACMS restrictions, and the UK is following suit. On the other hand, Trump is a massive wildcard in how things will play out, and nobody knows how things will play out until things start playing out.
Germany, the biggest supporter to Ukraine after the US, is caught up in an internal mess right now. The coalition gov has been toppled, and the Chancellor made political move to contact Putin that seems to have largely backfired on him in Germany. The likely winners for the next coalition gov seem to be supportive of Ukraine, but again, the uncertainty is there until the dust settles, and there is no telling how far the next German gov would be willing to support Ukraine.
Within Canada, I feel like the Ukrainian refugees are having mixed feelings about their continual stay in Canada. It is not easy to live in Canada for a lot of reasons, esp when the cost of living is high. There is no question that some are very grateful to be here, and plan on continuing to stay, either for the short or the long term. On the other hand, some are finding it too difficult to stay here, or feel like they have been away from their home and family for too long.
Being in Vancouver, it is not that easy to get a feel for those Ukrainian sentiments bcos we don't have nearly as large a Ukrainian population as Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. But unsurprisingly, support in those provinces seem to remain strong.

Of course support should remain strong. Fuck Putin and fuck this pointless invasion. But honestly I got a feeling they will just concede the currently held Russian territory and turn it into crimea 2.0. This won’t be over even after the cease fire is signed but at least it’ll give both sides to recover a bit.
Russia is hurting internally from the war economy too. Peasants there aren’t very happy with their standard of living or seeing their boys die fighting basically their brother. The whole thing is horseshit.

Just a thought, we can follow the north Koreans, send the new immigrants and illegals to fight for Canada to show their loyalty, if they survive and win we fast track citizenship.
??? Profit solves or housing problem and we can make Ukraine great again.  | |

Desperate times calls for desperate measures, they had like what 3 years to deal with this? Even within the first 6 months they said it was already impossible for them to win.

Ukrainian refugees are women and children and seniors. And you want to send them back to fight in a war they were fleeing from? Are you actually insane?

^ I know that Assad was a terrible tyrant but I did some initial reading about the Syrian rebels who overthrew him and they are Islamist militants associated with Al-Quaeda! That country is effed. Is this the case of one tyrant being replaced with another? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...ani-syria-hts/ | |
