There's no diplomatic solution to the Ru-Ukraine war; there's never been one and there never will be. Ru wants to take over Ukraine and won't back off until its capacity to continue dwindles, either because the Ru economy or the Pu regime face collapse. Diplomacy plays no role in these processes.

🚨This is who wants Poilievre to win.
Elon Musk. Alex Jones. Jordan Peterson. The loudest voices in the MAGA universe.
📣They’ve endorsed Poilievre because they see a chance to bring their chaos to Canada—defund public media, spread disinformation, and divide the country.

Another example of how Hinkle’s pro-Palestine views are performative/self-serving. His politics are fundamentally pro-authoritarian. He admires Trump for his despotic rhetoric the same way he admired Assad for similar rhetoric used to justify the bombing of the Palestinian Yarmouk refugee camp.
Jackson Hinkle tells George Galloway that he has no problem with America taking Greenland, "because it's already basically ours".

Remember, the polls look good for Carney, but DON’T be overconfident.

Neither do pundits.

28e jour d’incendie en Turquie. Encore beaucoup de choses à partager et si peu de temps! Voici au moins ce défilé organisé par les étudiants des Beaux-arts d’Istanbul avec les principaux acteurs des manifestations. Un moment de défoulement joyeux. Le rire fait partie de la lutte.

It’s always amusing when someone who has claimed that the French justice system is too lenient complains about her sentence being too harsh, especially when everyone knows she is guilty. Le Pen is a massive hypocrite, like all her friends on the far right!

Here's a video of former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper praising Mark Carney, for a “tremendous job” he did for Canada.
All of a sudden, conservatives are acting like none of this happened and that Carney is the ultimate evil for Canada.
Their inconsistency is mind-boggling!
