The whole meeting between Putin and his puppet hasn’t been very transparent. After reporters asked Putin if he would stop killing innocent children, 47 told his goons to remove all the press. And 47 as fanboy is horrible. Follow and 47 is not presidential.

Appreciate being included in your starter pack, Jesse. Just so everyone who follows me is clear. I am not American but I follow US politics closely. I am Canadian & am boycotting the USA until 47 is gone. I'm married to an American & am here for democracy, news & politics. This is not a dating site.

The measures threatened by Trump's administration this weekend will not improve security in the Arctic, but may have the opposite effect.

What a massive failure!
Trump promised to Make America Great Again. In reality, he is Making China Great Again.
By bullying allies like Canada and Europe with tariffs, he forces them to deepen ties with Beijing to survive.
He is handing global influence to China on a silver platter. Sadly

Adopt the hard line this time. Stop importing goods from the US. There are plenty of European alternatives. Make it mandatory to label US products so customers are aware and can make an informed choice. The Danish system works and there are already apps to help.

Trump is making China great again
Canada isn't turning to China because they want to. They are doing it because Trump gave them no choice. Europe is ignoring his China policy for the same reason.
When you treat allies like hostages, they start looking for an exit.

There’s a familiar way of looking at US–EU tensions: the US as senior partner, the EU as the junior one. Flip the lens: a different picture comes into focus — one where Europe’s strengths don’t just irritate Washington, they threaten it. Not militarily, but symbolically, economically, normatively. 🧐

It's unfortunate that Canada reduced the # of international students in recent years, in response to lack of affordable housing for Canadians. I taught thousands of international students in my career as a professor of management & business administration. Today I would advise against going to USA.🧐
The scale and speed of state censorship of campus really is amazing.
More than half of America's college students attend institutions in states that have passed laws censoring higher education since 2021.
