Brilliant. So, they are worried about Trump, so they anonymously leak sensitive information about their operations to the public. Sounds like they are the ones who can't be trusted and are a danger to US security as they use their jobs to play politics to go after Trump like this anonymously.

Don't worry, you can have lots of fun discussions with myata if you don't hide from them too. LOL I mean really, you should just get a journal at this point. Talk to yourself.

Well, certainly, Canada is willing to take them, right? Or is your country also the lowest office too?

Nope. You do. Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration Loans for Ukraine Last year, at the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy, Canada announced a $5 billion contribution toward the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration (ERA) Loans mechanism. Through this mechanism, the G7 will provide financing that will be serviced and repaid by future flows of extraordinary revenues stemming from the immobilization of Russian sovereign assets held in the European Union (EU) and other jurisdictions. With contributions from partners, the ERA Loans aim to make approximately US$50 billion in additional funding available to Ukraine. Canada has concluded negotiations with Ukraine on the terms of its $5 billion contribution and will disburse half of the funds, totalling $2.5 billion, in the coming days, with the remaining sum soon to follow.

You missed all this, it is literally a loan. Educate yourself. https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/backgrounders/2025/02/24/just-and-lasting-peace-ukraine That 5 billion is some convoluted loan based on the future predictions on the interest the EU is making off the couple hundred billion dollars in Russian assets they froze, not your country actually just giving them money. That is not real sacrifice or courage of your convictions to see Ukraine defeat Putin. Give me a break with this nonsense.

I give you facts. It is not the tax cuts blowing up the debt; it is the continued out-of-control spending, which, has far exceeded inflation, as you falsely claim it is not. I blame Biden for exactly what he is to blame for. The massive spending he engaged in. I also blamed Bush, Obama, and Trump too.

Next what? That 5 billion is some convoluted loan based on the future predictions on the interest the EU is making off the couple hundred billion dollars in Russian assets they froze, not your country actually just giving them money. That is not real sacrifice or courage of your convictions to see Ukraine defeat Putin. Give me a break with this nonsense.

LOL, ah yes, me quoting exactly what you said repeatedly is a "ubiquitous smoke-screen!" YOU made the point, I did directly call you out on your assertion being baseless BS. Instead of owning up to that, you tried to defend it by citing something that had nothing to do with it and are now doing what you usually do, playing these dumb straw man games and changing your argument. Yes, they are, if we have a vested interest in protecting them, it certainly is. Just like Taiwan, we have an economic reason to see that they stay independent and we have no formal relationship with them or formal military obligation to them... but everyone knows we are essentially backing them. I have not come full circle on anything. My positions have been and still are consistent and clear. You are far more interested in your fabrications to argue against though, because you got nothing else. Even now, you repeatedly avoid the actual point I am making here, that Trumps withdrawal of support was completely in response to Zelensky's public comments. Trump has also signalled yesterday, that after Zelensky has come back around, the support is back on the table.

For as much as you Canadians are crying down in the American forum about us not doing more for Ukraine... Where is your pride in demanding your own country sacrifice more for Ukraine? Where is your outrage for continuing to funnel money to Russia for their oil products?

In general. LOL, learn to read your own source.

Except, revenues are up. They continued to go up, even after the tax cuts. The issue is spending. After those tax cuts, we continued to spend. Both Republicans and Democrats, increased spending by hundreds of billions of dollars during Trumps term. Then we had the pandemic, and we all teamed up to spend trillions more we didn't have. Then Biden was elected and the Democrats spent trillions more again in increases we did not have. Even then, long before Trump, Obama was spending us into the ground as was Bush. Spending is the problem.

I have quoted you repeatedly throughout this discussion as to what you originally said. It is not a characterization. What you originally claimed was simply wrong. Now you hide behind the term "clarification" when you continue to dishonestly ignore what you originally said and just act like you didn't say that or falsely accuse me of characterizing it incorrectly. Just dumb games. Yes, it is. Pointing out that we would be economic partners and invested is an argument. Did the Chinese invest billions in Mariupol in a long term economic partnership to help Ukraine rebuild and acquire their own economic resources? No, that is Zelensky's doing. As I have already explained previously.

That was not your original claim. Once again, you continue evolving your argument, moving those goal posts. The partnership with Ukraine would in fact be a form of security, as we would be invested with them and economic partners. This is a you problem, like many of our discussions. You claim one thing, then do all these dishonest games rather than deal with what you originally claimed. This is your strawman, not mine.

They leave to provide a cheaper product and to remain competitive. This is not only an American thing, this is a world wide thing where countries do not enact other protective measures on industry.

The hypocritical irony. This guy is doing just that in his comment you posted. Yes, it is normal to blame other countries if they are not doing much or too little to care about the precursors being shipped into their country and the drug labs in their country that are producing these drugs. This is not a legal enterprise. We are not talking about why Canadians are not doing more to curb the use of Maple Syrup.

So... you want us to go to war against Russia now? The only logical conclusion to your comments here are that you want America to declare war against Russia. Is that what you want?

@Aristides if you are going to copy paste, you need to provide a link and credit the source.

Weaking and dividing? How? Just like his last administration, he is making NATO stronger, demanding more from other NATO nations and they are once again talking about doing more. That makes the west stronger, not weaker. How has Trump strengthened Russia? It is your country and other European countries that keep pumping money into them to buy their fuel.

I can probably count on one hand the amount of threads I have started, because I do not spam the forum with worthless garbage like you do.

You can't even come up with something original.

There is no routine shooting of unarmed blacks like this. You are straight up pushing lies.

Following how? The funny thing about you and others on here pretending to care so much about him lying is that your own behavior here doesn't match up.

Its not my point of view. I deal in facts.

Ok, and? What is?

I see facts, logic, and reason. Not your hasty generalizations for what the world sees.
