The middle east has had endless problems before Israel came along, and has had plenty of non-israel related conflicts and problems since. I do not believe for a moment you could possibly make the claim that if Israel wasn't there things would be peaceful I don't think they were attempting to keep the peace, I think they were attempting to defend themselves against attack. Blowing those that have tried to kill you into small pieces is it effective way to stop them from trying to kill you in the future, provided you get them all. Let's get real. The vast majority of Israelis would be perfectly happy and content to live peaceful lives and make their way in the world. The vast majority would prefer peace. It is the Palestinians in the region who have sworn never to rest until Israel is destroyed. The simple fact is if The Palestinians laid down their guns tomorrow they would have peace. If Israel laid down its guns tomorrow there would be a New holocaust.2 points

This should be good. Didn't the left say Trump was good buddies with Epstein? This just seems like a weird thing to do to a guy you like.1 point

The Communist party is not in power in Russia. United Russia is Putin's party. The only people who have to worry about guns to the back of their heads are anyone who irritates Putin. He absolutely is a dictator. Anyone who opposes him dies. Douglas Murray is British, to begin with. He's also not so much a columnist as a war correspondent, though he has written a number of books that I'm surprised you haven't heard of, including The Strange Death of Europe. He has spent most of the last year traveling between Ukraine and Israel. He was in Ukraine when the Israeli war started, went there, embedded with the IDF and went into Gaza. He has an absolute TON of experience being the man on the spot, talking with presidents, generals and common people. I trust what he has to say. . You might also give a read or two to Konstantin Kisin, who is both Russian and Ukrainian, though he now lives in the UK. The war should have been brought to an end a long time ago as I wrote here. My hope is that Trump can achieve that and I've said many times he is far more likely to do that than Biden ever was. But, facts matter. Calling Zelensky a dictator is absurd. Both Murray and Kisin have been fairly strong supporters of Trump but both disagree with him about Ukraine and Russia. Then there's Piers Morgan, another Trump supporter. Volodymyr Zelensky is NOT a dictator. Vladimir Putin IS a dictator. Zelensky didn’t start the war in Ukraine. Putin did. Hope this clarifies things for anyone who is confused.1 point

Yes, well i think we're too good of friends for you to be comparing me to the intellectual level of a leftie But point taken, i misunderstood your meaning then. I suspect they would have been involved quietly behind the scenes, as we see with the israel/gaza conflict. But, you're absolutely right that there was nothing like what trump is doing, public calls for peace talks, serious efforts to reach out to the russians, etc. True, i'll concede that point. It does touch on or relate to the point i made that he never had a plan for the war, there was never any stated end goal, no 'offramp' model or proposition. No measure of success or failure. Just "we'll keep writing cheques until ice cream cones! (vanilla!)" It was just "First we fund them, then something will happen and then peace!" With no idea what that something was. Reminds me a little of the "underpants gnomes" from southpark. "Our plan has three stages. Stage one, steal all underpants. Then stage two. Stage three is we're rich!" "Ok, what's stage two?" " ummmmm.... does anyone remember what stage 2 was?"1 point

Were Republicans 100% pushing Biden to do more? No, a few then more and finally most started balking enough that it put the brakes on Democratic enthusiasm for doing more. I realize how very important this partisan bickering and divisiveness is to Americas domestic political world but you fail to appreciate to outsiders you're just Americans typically acting on ideological whims as opposed to any cogent consistent foreign policy. What do I mean by consistency? If Ronald Reagan could see the GOP today he'd puke.1 point

There is some truth to that article, but at the end of the day, it's still just western-POV propaganda, riddled with intentional inaccuracies and disinformation. 1) Yes, Putin is the ruler of Russia right now, but the communist party there still has power and he could still be taken out if he wasn't doing what they want him to do. It's old-skool. So to say that he's a dictator isn't truly accurate, because most dictators don't live with a gun to the back of their head. If Putin goes the way of Rasputin, the guy who takes his place will be a carbon copy, propped up by the party. Yes, people in Russia live with less freedom than we do, no one would deny that. 2) To say that Russia is fighting for conquest in only a half-truth, which means that it's 50% a lie, which imo qualifies as a lie. They're misleading you into thinking that Russia's goal is to eliminate the Ukrainian gov't, when they really just want conquest of the ethnic Russian area, IE the Donbas. You will never admit to this, but those people were being discriminated against and brutalized by the Ukrainian gov't and Ukrainian militias to the point where they did want the protection of the Russian gov't. Part of that was due to 'Bay of Pigs'-style interference from the Russian gov't, but a lot of it was genuine desire to depart from America's chosen path for Ukraine. 3) Their #3 is a total lie. Russia isn't after Kiev, they've always been invested in the "liberation" (frying pan -> fire) of Donbas. 5) You gotta admit that it's odd to hear an American say that "free and fair elections in Russia ended in 1999" 🤣. It's also odd to hear them act like Russia had an independent media before 1999. Who knew? FYI Canada doesn't even have that, and don't pretend that CNN, ABC and CBS aren't controlled by the Dems. Regarding the political/extrajudicial killings in Russia, that's just Russia. But tbh, America has killed people for treason as well, and is a show trial resulting in your execution so much better than a death warrant from the politburo? They both result in death, only 1 death has a heaping side of slander and the other has a side of polonium. 6) Total horsesh1t. Zelensky absolutely is a dictator, and let's not forget that he was installed by the US gov't. He kicked out all opposition and he seized control of the media. What more does he need to do to earn his dictator badge? Start a fire by rubbing two sticks together? 8. Who cares if Ukraine is a friend of the US? That doesn't mean that they weren't an enemy to Russia, and even an enemy to their own people in Donbas. This is a messy divorce in Ukraine, and between Ukraine and Russia. This is the path that was chosen, and it's messy. 9. Putin can't be trusted. Uhhhh, ditto for Biden. Ditto for Kamala. Ditto for Hillary. Ditto for Trump. Ditto for Obama. Ditto for Dubya. Ditto for Clinton. Ditto for the FBI. Ditto for Pelosi. Ditto for Shumer... 10) To say that "American aid to Ukraine is not being wasted" is a total lie when it's made in such a broad, declarative statement. Some of it is definitely being wasted, and all of it was unnecessary because if the US hadn't put a pro-war president in the WH there wouldn't have been a war. Kudos to Biden for achieving something of great importance to himself, but not only was that money wasted, lives were wasted.1 point

Several Republican senators said Gabbard was a dangerous choice for Director of National Intelligence but when push came to shove, they voted to confirm her. The only exception was McConnell. With the exception of him, none of them has any spine.1 point

Well, except Trump's last labor secretary and his current AG, who let Epstein slide. They should all be released, but I absolutely do not trust the pathological liar and his toadies.1 point

Sort of. It's a strange complaint to make though. If I was about to walk into a river thinking myself fine, and a local warned me that the river is full of piranha and I was able to stop myself from entering I would be quite grateful. Fundamentally, a good Christian warning others about hell is not some way to disgrace or humiliate them or to win an argument, it is to give them warning out of love that what they are about to do is harming themself. It's not something worthy of criticism.1 point

Does the same logic apply to men who believe they're women or is that different? And if it is different, would you support the idea that I identify as 21 years old and let me join the military again? Surely that's every bit as credible as a man identifying as a woman, more so given my level of fitness actually.1 point

That’s the pathetic excuse like Trumps claims about Canadian fentanyl. Ukraine in NATO was never a serious or imminent prospect, could he addressed through diplomacy anyways and invading and doesn’t justify invading and annexing Ukrainian territory anyways. In fact it only justifies Ukraine in NATO. You know, Germans had legitimate complaints against the European powers after WW1 but only a gullible stooge would try to claim those justified the rise of Hitler and WW2 or that addressing those complaints were all Hitler was trying to accomplish If Russia had never invaded in the first place Ukraine in NATO probably wouldn’t have happened. And since NATO is a defensive alliance and Ukraine had barely any military at all they wouldn’t be “backed against a wall”. Before Putin started all this bullshit the West wanted to trade with Russia and had invested heavily in doing so. Russia was never in any danger of being attacked. So whatever ridiculous fantasy you have about “Russia being backed against a wall” is nonsense in any event.1 point

"treason" in that view means resisting a treasonous collusion with the worst dictator in the modern world. When you know who Vlad Putin is, you also know who those who condone him, pet him, want to get cozy with him are as well. It works exactly the same as with Hitler. So no relativism, and zero ambiguity. You know exactly who you're dealing with.1 point

Nope we’re also the party of self-defence and peace through adherence to the rule of law . It’s republicans who are the party of perpetual war and hatred because they want to reward and Russia for its act of aggression and encourage others to do the same. Also Republicans have no problem with perpetual war and hatred when it come to Israel. ANYONE WHO IS TRULY FOR PEACE WOULD DEMAND RUSSIA GO HOME. PERIOD You’re demanding the victims surrender to the violent criminal in the name of peace. What stunning dishonesty.1 point

You’re celebrating a dictator illegally invading annexing another country’s sovereign territory and intentionally bombing children’s hospitals and schools and civilian structures, forced relocations of Ukrainian children into Russia …..and you think you’re the good guy.

See, I told you you can't even realize it affects your own opinion reasoning. You're assuming as it happened before, it is still rational, ethical and acceptable to do today. Repeating to make it absolutely clear: Gaza is not Israel's to give or America's to take. It is the home of those who live on it, and only those people can make decisions regarding it. Because another party else can because they are bigger and stronger does not make it just in any way, especially from one who professes their Christianity. Am I entitled to take your computer or house away because I think you're not using it properly? Even if you're so shallow you regard Gaza as similarly just 'property'* that is still illegal and immoral. * as Trump as shown in all his international dealings.1 point

The heading doesn't make much sense but the opinion piece makes less sense. It looks like you have been conned by the Liberal propaganda. The Conservatives have an excellent platform which was laid out by the leader on Flag Day with over an hour of details. You can find it on youtube at: Bing Videos Also read the Conservative Party of Canada policy document which is online at: 990863517f7a575.pdf After nearly ten years of Liberals wrecking Canada, are you seriously thinking of still supporting the Liberals or NDP? All they did is increase the size of the civil service by a huge number, spend money like lunatics for everything under the sun, throw billions of dollars around the world, attack the energy industry, ban pipelines, hammer everyone with carbon taxes pushing the price up of everything, catch and release dangerous offenders right away, very soft on crime, allow illegal migrants to flood across the border, allow the drug crisis to run wild with 50,000 deaths, allow drug and crime cartels to expand in Canada, and bring in far more immigrants than Canada can afford creating a housing crisis and other problems. Everything is worse in Canada after ten years of Liberals/NDP.1 point

Don't you think there's got to be one place though where we are able to function and put aside our political differences? If every single thing is about politics do you think that that's going to lead to a healthy result? I have my doubts1 point

The Americans will be judged on how they react to trump's attacks on their neighbors. If they're in support of it and don't speak out against trump's blatant attempts to corrupt our sovereignty and destroy our economy then I think it's absolutely justified to hold them in contempt and Malice. But we won't know that till time passes. After all right now there isn't even a canada-specific tariff. We'll see how they handle things as time goes on As to the booing I'm absolutely against that. Sports is an area where we can set aside our politics and what separates us and come together for a moment And just be human beings with each other. Regardless of our nation's differences, regardless of our politics, no matter what divides us it is absolutely critical that we remember that there are things we can enjoy together and are things that connect us, otherwise we will see the other as being inhuman and that is a very very dangerous and destructive thing. They are still people. Even if they're people were mad at1 point
