What makes her racist, exactly? Why is Trump’s insult for every black person that they’re “racist”? What does her alleged dating life have anything to do with Trump’s election interference anyway?

If anyone murdered Epstein it would have been the Trump administration. They’re the ones who snatched him up and he died in their custody while their employees forged phoney suicide watch logs. Trumps enemy is found dead in Trumps basement while Trump is holding the murder weapon and Republicans be like: “obviously Hillary did this!”

You’re right Trump doesn’t give a crap whether Putin murdered Navalny or not, or whether Navalny “deserved” to be murdered or not. The man has no moral compass, he’s unbothered by such things. Trump supports Putin for a variety of reasons, including the fact that, thanks to Trump, supporting Putin is now popular among a certain faction in the far right.

Bullshit Trump committed actual crimes, many of which he doesn’t even deny but simply claims to be above the law on a account of being an ex-president. Neither Russia or Canada are communist.

Omg I can’t wait hear your batshit about who Obama murdered. Please tell us.

You are not able to form any other response except childish internet insults. Pathetic.

Oohh internet tough guy is making threats again! LMAO you’re such a pathetic loser.

But your loyalty is to Russia

“Having a fleet” in the Black Sea is not the same as “controlling” the Black Sea, genius

LMAO DO YOU????

you’re clueless and out of touch Russia pulled out of that deal ling ago amd is unable to stop Ukrainian shipping Ukraine Sends 13 Million Tons of Exports Through Black Sea Corridor (Bloomberg) -- Ukraine has exported 13 million tons of products through a shipping corridor in the Black Sea it established after Russia pulled out of a deal guaranteeing safe movement of vessels. Ports accepted 430 vessels for loading since the channel was created in August, Ukraine’s infrastructure minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday. Kyiv established the corridor to allow the shipping of critical commodities, especially grains, from its deep-sea ports after Moscow in July pulled out the United Nations-backed Black Sea grain deal that had guaranteed safe passage for crops. Bridget Brink, the US ambassador to Ukraine, called the continued movement of cargo “a significant achievement as Ukraine continues to feed the world.” Read more: Putin Risks Losing Vital Naval Hub as Ukraine Strikes in Crimea Ukraine’s ability to ship via the Black Sea comes as Russia has moved its Naval fleet there from Crimea to Novorossiysk in response to repeated attacks on vessels - the most recent coming on Dec. 26. Supplies of British Storm Shadow and French Scalp cruise missiles have helped Ukraine tip the balance in its favor, Bloomberg reported last week, enabling it to evade air defenses to conduct accurate strikes on Russian targets. Russia’s fleet “is no longer able to operate in the western part of the Black Sea,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Oct. 24, calling it a “historic achievement” for his country. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/ukraine-sends-13-million-tons-of-exports-through-black-sea-corridor-1.2016482.amp.html You probably think they’re allowing Ukrainiane to sink their ships too

Unsurprisingly far-right authoritarians and Putin sympathizers like Trump and Orban remain completely silent on Navalny. Shocker.

Russia is losing the battle for the Black Sea Ukraine says it has destroyed at least 22 of the 80 working combat vessels of Russia's Black Sea fleet, and damaged another 13. Now not even the eastern coast of Crimea is considered safe for Russia's ships; its best ones shelter in Novorossiysk, 600km away, on the other side of the Black Sea. https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/01/28/russia-is-losing-the-battle-for-the-black-sea# Putin Forced to Relocate Ships in Crimea After Ukraine Strikes Drone and missile attacks are enabling Ukraine to overcome Russian naval dominance in the Black Sea. by Bloomberg News December 29, 2023 at 12:00 AM EST Russia has based its Black Sea fleet in Crimea for 240 years. Now President Vladimir Putin is at risk of losing the flagship naval hub as Ukraine steps up attacks in the occupied peninsula. The assaults have forced Russia to move its ships further from harm’s way, almost a decade after Putin annexed Crimea with the goal of preserving the fleet’s presence there as Kyiv drew closer to the US and Europe. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-29/russian-warship-crimea-ukraine-strikes-force-putin-to-relocate-ships?embedded-checkout=true

I believe anything related to BMD homeland air defence is the job of the RCAF, probably out of 22 wing North Bay, and Army’s role in air defence is limited to protecting troops overseas. I don’t think there are plans for army AD capability to go much further than SHORAD and anti-drone.

@Nationalist And now while at his arctic gulag he’s unexpectedly and inexplicably suddenly dropped dead at the ripe old age of 47. To be fair in Putin’s shithole country where most people don’t live past 65, 47 is basically a senior citizen. But considering he appeared happy and healthy just yesterday while at his latest televised kangaroo Kourt hearing Russia’s claim that he suddenly just got sick and died out of the blue while out for a walk is obviously complete BS. OBVIOUSLY he was killed in the lead-up to Putin’s next sham election next month

Correct. Family doctors and nurses for example don’t diagnose mental illness, they refer you to a specialist Not correct, for reasons stated above. So just stating these facts for the record, since any insinuation that liberalism is due to mental illness or that conservatism is due to sanity. Im sure you’re going to deny insinuating that so I guess I probably just could have responded to your OP with “so?” if you’re not trying to make a larger point. That’s Common knowledge, but here you go from just the first few google hits: Males: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7444121/ https://www.hrh.ca/2022/06/16/breaking-the-stigma-mens-mental-health/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8832600/ https://www.butler.org/blog/breaking-the-stigma-of-mens-mental-health?hs_amp=true Conservatives: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0020764015589131 https://www.psypost.org/2016/03/conservative-people-tended-hold-stigmatized-beliefs-mentally-ill-41921#:~:text=Previous research has found conservatives,and hostility toward stigmatized groups. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6600024/ Age: https://adaa.org/college-aged-adults-face-less-mental-health-stigma https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2158244019876277 https://www.rand.org/pubs/periodicals/health-quarterly/issues/v4/n3/10.html No, they wouldn’t necessarily decide to correct for it If they did, they would say so So let me word my original statement better. Liberals tend to be more highly educated and highly educated people tend to worry about more things in this world No. I’m saying that highly educated people are more likely to: 1) admit to themselves that they might have a mental health issue, whether they actually have one or not 2) speak to a doctor about a potential mental health issue 3) admit to a stranger that they spoke to a doctor about a potential mental health issue. …and highly edited people are more likely to be liberal.

On the quantity debate: 1) IMO it’s totally feasible to keep the weapons overseas in theatre and a small “skeleton crew” worth of fully functional weapons in Canada for training, to be used alongside various simulators, replicas, outsourced civilians training etc I don’t think you need to fully equip every single unit who could ever possibly touch these weapons Routine training often involves waiting your turn at the firing range, using blank ammunition during force-on-force training, firing sub-caliber and inert training rounds and IIRC doing Immediate Action drills on inert or replica weapons In addition, with soldiers regularly posting out and posting back in from different units, as I believe I heard the Army say was part of it’s Latvia plan, would ensure units always have some number of experienced soldiers who have already been to Latvia using these weapons. . Besides as Army Guy once pointed out, in the months leading up to deployment, the troops preparing to go train intensely on mission-specific equipment and tactics In the case of Latvia units will be preparing much longer in advance as the 3-yr rotation schedule will be known 2)When we last had air defence systems, all 3 AD weapons (Javelin, ADATS and 35mm AAA) belonged to various batteries of a single artillery regiment, 4th Air Defence Regiment, RCA, which was based in Gagetown NB after returning from Germany and supported the entire army as a force-level asset not as individual Mech Brigade assets. The Brigades did not have their own organic Air Defence, batteries or detachments from 4AD Regt were assigned to operations as needed. Assuming that’s the model now, there’s only one unit in the army to equip, the question is how many batteries? It will be interesting how the Artillery will absorb these weapons. After the previous AA weapons were decommissioned, 4AD Regt was reconstituted as 4th Artillery Regiment (General Support), RCA It remains a force level asset basically as an artillery spotting /counter-battery unit using the mobile Medium Range Radar and rue CU-172 Blackjack surveillance drone. Army has already said Combat Support units like that will be in Latvia every tour anyway. Will they be the ones to get the new MANPADS or will it be some new unit? The anti-drone detection and defence is a separate contract not the MANPAD contract.

Yeah no mention of how many systems they’re buying I guess there’s the question of how many we really need considering Latvia basically is our entire deployable force. and the usual MO for Canada would be to Keep the vehicles and systems in theatre and just rotate personnel through. As for the actual system chosen, I was expecting a more recognizable name like US Stinger (which gets all the headlines and attention simply because it’s American), or the British Starstreak or French Mistral. I’ve never been up to speed on all the MANPAD systems out there and had never heard of the RBS-70 before. Here’s what I’ve found out about it: Original RBS-70 was produced in the 1970s, the latest “NG” (New Generation) version was developed in 2011 PROs: Has ~50% more range and altitude coverage compared to Stinger (>8km and 15,000 ft) Laser-based “Beam rider” guidance makes it impervious to jamming, decoys, flares and electronic warfare, the latter being something which Russians are particularly skilled at Can be networked with mobile radar (which Canada also bought in this pkg), other launchers, and a command/control centre allowing for a centrally co-ordinated air defence system and allowing connected operators to “aim” at approaching targets before they come into the weapon’s range Can be operated by remote control, allowing the operator to remain safely under protective cover CONS ”Man portable” but requires a tripod (like UK and French systems) but not truly “shoulder launched” like stinger Laser guidance means it is not “fire and forget” like the French and US systems, the operator has to keep the laser on the target (as does UK system). This means that unobstructed line-of-sight to target is required throughout the engagement (an automated target track system helps ensure the operator doesn’t “lose” the target, I couldn’t find a detailed description but I m imagining it’s something like an arrow on the screen that tells you which way to turn if you somehow come off target amd lose sight) List of current countries using the system or it’s 70s era predecessor is unimpressive: a few of the smaller NATO countries, a few countries that don’t fight foreign wars like Brazil, UAE and Thailand. Maybe its an ok system but not great? I guess every system especially man-portable ones have their limitations and trade-offs. This one definitely doesn’t have a lot of attention or content on the internet, beyond a few notable kills of Russian fighters and helicopters in Ukraine.

Because everything I said is so painfully obvious, that’s why. Again you have nothing to actually say or dispute and zero ability to rebut anything in my post. You are the lamest internet debater ever. Who cares how many views it got? That’s not the same thing as saying 2 mil supporters. One of those views is mine because I had to see first hand the propaganda service Tucker provided. Celebrity cat videos get millions of views also Who licked Putin’s balls better, Carlson or Tump during their 2018 Helsinki meeting? I still say Trump holds the Putin ball-washing crown fawning over how “extremely strong and powerful” while hunching down with meek body language beside Putin and like an abused puppy at its master’s feet. Carlson’s propaganda spectacle was more like 2 hours of letting Putin lick his own balls to groom a western audience, while Carlson quietly nods in approval.

Simply repeating your unsubstantiated claims over and over is no substitute for providing actual evidence. The actual evidence shows Russian ships are being sunk, the Russian Navy has relocated its stationed fleet as far away from Ukrainian shores as possible and Ukraine continues to ship cargo through the Black Sea via its western ports and NATO ships continue to have full freedom of movement through the Black Sea, which BTW is an international body of water borders several NATO countries So mo, Russia doesn’t “control the Black Sea” by any stretch of the imagination and never has.

Canada to acquire Swedish-made anti-aircraft system to protect troops in Latvia Murray Brewster - CBC News New portable anti-aircraft system and counter-drone equipment to arrive later this year Posted: 3 Hours Ago Unidentified soldiers carrying out a teat of a Swedish designed RBS 70 NG portable air defence system in this undated handout. Canada will acquire a number of the systems to deploy with troops serving in Latvia. (Saab India/Handout) Canadian troops in Latvia will soon be protected by a $227 million Swedish-designed short-range anti-aircraft system, Defence Minister Bill Blair announced Thursday in Brussels as NATO allies met to assess both the war in Ukraine and perceived threatening moves by Russia. The Canadian Army has been without a dedicated air defence to protect ground troops from attack helicopters and fast-moving jets for more than a dozen years. The Liberal government last year ordered a new system be purchased on an urgent operational basis, an avenue to fast-track large equipment purchases. ADVERTISEMENT Ahead of a meeting with his NATO counterparts, Blair announced the deal to buy the RBS 70 NG short-range Air Defence System from Saab Canada. The portable system will begin arriving later this year, he said. $46 million for anti-drone system Separately, the defence department is still working to acquire a broader, more sophisticated air defence system that will tackle incoming air to surface missiles and rocket-based artillery. Also on Thursday, Blair announced that the Canadian government will spend $46 million on the first phase of a ground-based system intended to counter the threat of small drones, which have become a sophisticated and deadly feature of the war between Russia and Ukraine. CBC in Ukraine Building brigades: Canada, NATO allies struggle to shore up Baltic defences against Russian threat The anti-drone contracts will be shared among TRD Systems of Singapore, which builds the ORION-H9 dismounted drone gun; CACI Inc., from Reston, Va., which produces omni-directional scanners; and Leonardo UK Ltd., which builds fixed-site systems. ADVERTISEMENT All of the equipment will be deployed with the Canadian-led NATO brigade in Latvia and the purchases — when they arrive — will complete the Liberal government's pledge to close major equipment gaps for troops in the field, whose mission is to deter potential Russian aggression in the Baltic states. A photo from the Canadian Armed Forces shows soldiers at Camp Adazi in Latvia on July 26, 2022. Canadian soldiers are in Latvia as part of Canada's military contribution to NATO's deterrence mission, known as Operation Reassurance. (Submitted by Canadian Armed Forces) In December, Blair announced Canada would spend $32 million with Rafael Advanced Defense Systems to acquire a modern anti-tank system, which is also expected to arrive in Latvia midway through this year. The short-range, laser-guided RBS 70 and the counter-drone system will protect not only Canadian troops, but others participating in the multinational brigade, the minister said. "By investing in air defence and anti- drone capabilities for Canadian troops, we are also bolstering the defensive capabilities of the NATO battle group in Latvia as a whole," Blair said. Sweden set to join Canadian-led brigade in Latvia once roadblocks to NATO membership end ADVERTISEMENT The equipment holes that are now being plugged are long-standing. More than a decade ago, as Canada's war in Afghanistan came to conclusion, the army drew up a plan to reconstitute and replace worn-out equipment. The list included modern air defences for ground troops and better anti-tank weapons. The plan withered and died over several years — a victim of deficit reductions schemes, changing defence fashions, inter-service and inter-departmental bureaucratic warfare and political indifference. Analysis More than a decade ago, the army had a plan to rebuild. It went nowhere The Defence Department has been scrambling for more than a year and a half to buy the equipment while Canadian troops in Latvia have been staring across the border at a wounded Russian army that has learned many bloody lessons fighting the Ukrainians. The gaps in Canadian capability have been — to this point — covered by allies serving with the multinational battle group. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7115841

All Carlson did was give Putin a platform to propagandize the American far right audience, couldn’t bring himself to ask one tough question or challenge even one of Putin’s dubious and false claims Even the conservative Wall Street Journal was outraged, especially when Carlson suggested that the WSJ reporter that Putin is holding hostage must have committed a crime Remember when conservatives shit their pants because Dan rather interviewed Saddam Hussein? Carlson’s softball limp-dick Putin-promo “interview” was so lame even Putin was embarrassed by it: Vladimir Putin Delivers Damning Assessment Of Tucker Carlson Days After Interview The Russian leader wasn't exactly impressed by the former Fox News host. Tucker Carlson’s interview last week with Russian President Vladimir Putin was so soft that even Putin thought it was a letdown. “To be honest, I thought that he would behave aggressively and ask so-called sharp questions,” he said told interviewer Pavel Zarubin, according to a Reuters translation. “I was not just prepared for this, I wanted it, because it would give me the opportunity to respond in the same way.” Carlson, who was let go from Fox Newslast year, released a two-hour interview with Putin last week in which he barely spoke at times as the Russian leader delivered lengthy monologues. When Carlson did get a word in, Putin frequently dismissed him and continued with his lecture. Putin noticed that, too. “He tried to interrupt me several times, but still, surprisingly for a Western journalist, he turned out to be patient and listened to my long dialogues, especially those related to history,” Putin said, per a Google translation of a transcript posted on the Kremlin website. That was a big disappointment for the strongman leader. “Honestly speaking, I did not fully enjoy that interview,” he said with a laugh, according to a translated clip posted online on an X feed that monitors Putin’s comments: Carlson, who has admitted to lying on his show, has frequently praised Putin and attacked U.S. support for Ukraine, which Russia invaded nearly two years ago. When he was still on Fox News last year, Carlson often repeated Russian talking points. He was cited approvingly by Russian state television, which even seemed to offer him a job. After last week’s interview, Carlson continued his love affair with the Kremlin, praising Moscow as “so much nicer” than any U.S. city. …. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/vladimir-putin-mocks-tucker-carlson_n_65cd6b35e4b02493f348b6d6

LMAO Mongolia trolls Putin’s claims about Ukraine rightfully belonging to Russian because it historically belonged to the Russian Empire, reminds him most of Russia was historically part of the Mongol Empire Former Mongolian Leader Schooled Russia's Putin Via Social Media Post …The basis for Putin's claim is that at one time Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire and therefore should be again. Such nationalist beliefs, of course, are also the reason why Europe had been mired in nearly endless conflict for centuries. Wars were fought with the justification of historic borders, a fact certainly not lost on Putin. “After Putin's talk. I found a Mongolian historic map. Don't worry. We are a peaceful and free nation," the former Mongolian leader also noted. https://www.forbes.com/sites/petersuciu/2024/02/14/former-mongolian-leader-schooled-russias-putin-via-social-media-post/?sh=4c586aa092e5

No you’ve never showed anything to suppress any your kremlin propaganda. You just state a baseless lie as fact and never offer even a shred of evidence to suppress any of your bullshit Also, let’s have a vote, what’s more pathetic: 1) the fact that Russia is such a shithole, life expectancy there is 2 decades shorter than in Canada and the West and comparable to what we had back in the early 1950s, or 2) the fact that living longer than expected just extends the suffering of the poor elderly living under Russian rule DOCTOR: “Very sorry Sergei, but you live past 65th birthday. No military discharge for you, maybe you get lucky and die next year, da?. I SAID MAYBE YOU GET LUCKY AND DIE NEXY YEAR. Please to turnink on hearing aids. ” Case in point: Russia Proposes Military Age Limit that Surpasses Country's Life Expectancy The new proposed legislation would raise the age limit for all officers to 70 and take the maximum age for contract personnel to 65—far older than the current limit of 51, according to an intelligence update shared to X, formerly Twitter, by the U.K. Ministry of Defense on Tuesday. Both of the new age limits exceed the average life expectancy for Russian men of 64.2 years, according to WorldData.Info. The British Defense Ministry argued that the new limits could prevent Russian President Vladimir Putin from ordering additional mobilizations but would effectively lead to a lifetime of service for Russian servicemen, with the older recruits also likely doing little to improve Moscow's military performance in Ukraine. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-military-age-limit-surpasses-life-expectancy-1869696

LMAO they have NEVER controlled the Black Sea no matter how many times you repeat the lie it won’t be true. And the Russians just had YET ANOTHER major ship sunk today…they’re losing to a navy that doesn’t even have any warships and fights from land. Suck on it, Loser.
