Aristides

I'm not talking about the relative merits of the parties or candidates, it's just a non partisan observation that Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the Liberal party. Putting the campaign rhetoric aside, I don't believe either PP or Carney are the ogres that their opposition makes out them to be. And that is why for me, the campaign and debates are going to be very important because I truly am undecided and whoever gets my vote will have to earn it.

https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca Well done Donald.

Back acha Boris.

It's pretty obvious this country is going to have to reinvent itself to remain sovereign. I could be tough slog but reducing economic dependence on the US can't be a bad thing. Tariffs may take some manufacturing south but reciprocal tariffs will encourage US companies to have manufacturing capability in Canada to serve our markets, as they did before NAFTA. A market of over 40 million is not insignificant.

NATO is not the enemy of Russia, Russia is the enemy of NATO and western Europe. Except for Sweden and Finland (which has been invaded by the Russians before) all the new members were countries that were under the Soviet boot for 45 years and know Russia well. NATO and the EU has ensured the longest period of peace in European history that only ended when Russia invaded Ukraine, a non NATO member.

Countries joined NATO because they see Russia as a threat and Ukraine has proven them right. No one forces anyone to join NATO. NATO is a defensive alliance there is no obligation for any NATO country to go to war except if one of them is attacked. That's why there would have been no war if Ukraine was a member. NATO prevents Russian aggression and that's why Putin can't have it. Donbas War

How would Russia be worse off? How many Russians have died in this war that wouldn't have happened if Ukraine had been part of NATO?

If Ukraine had been part of NATO, there would have been no war. Why the F do you think Finland and Sweden joined.

Russia invaded Ukraine you dipshit. One thing you do have right, Europe now realizes they are at war with Russia from a logistical point of view and they understand that if Ukraine goes down, one of them will be next.

Fvck off with you proxy wall bullsh!t, The Ukrainian people are fighting for their existence as a country and all you do is show contempt for them and support the criminal who is trying to take their country. There are no western troops fighting in Ukraine but there have been North Korean troops fighting with Russia for some time but I guess you are a big fan of Fat Kim as well.

LOL yourself, 3 years of Ukraine fighting a country 4 times its size to a standstill. If that doesn't tell you something about Ukrainians, nothing ever will. Trump was being the azzhole, Zelensky was sticking up for his country.

Trump's abuse of Zelensky has finally woken Europe up. Yes Starmer says the US must be part of it but it is a giant up yours when it comes to a Trump and Putin show. The message to Trump is, Europe will be involved in any peace talks and so will Ukraine, otherwise Europe will continue to increase support for Ukraine.

Frederiksen came from a middle class family and worked her way up to her position on her own merit. Ivanka was born into hers and Lara married into it.

Neither one of them is fit to carry Frederiksen's luggage.

She leads a small country of just one in Europe that has done a lot for Ukraine. She can only encourage others to do more. Trump had Ukraine at the Oval office to insult them, not to invite them to negotiate with Russia. Trump also wants Greenland from Denmark so he isn't any better than Putin as far as Denmark is concerned. Unfortunately he has to deal with what he hates most, a strong, intelligent, articulate woman.

Maybe you should have listened to the speech, she was pretty specific. Trump doesn't want Ukraine at the table, all he wants to do is arrange the terms of their capitulation with Putin.

Surrender ends one war and then breeds the next. That was exactly the point the Danish PM was making. Her country has also had the experience of being invaded by an aggressive neighbour.

A real leader sticks up for those who are being attacked, not kiss the attacker's ass and try to extort from the weekend victim.

Denmark has been giving assistance to Ukraine since the beginning. They sent their entire artillery to Ukraine. Danes died in Afghanistan for you when you invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter, as did Canadians. As a percentage of their population Denmark lost nearly as many as the US in Afghanistan.

Don’t you get tired of Tucker Carlson imitations? No, it’s Ukrainian kids getting chewed up in their own country by Russians you fvck.

All I am saying is they better be prepared for when Trump leaves them holding the bag.

Whatever, doesn't change the fact that Trump has given the Liberals a new life when they were all but dead two months ago. Canadian MAGA's can't stand the idea but that doesn't make it any less true.
