I think their goal is to accelerate the separation between Trump's America and the rest of NATO. Whether they manage to provoke a response or not doesn't matter, they're picking at the rift between Trump & NATO and deepening it either way.

I'm pretty sure all of the science, research and development of the vaccine is still American. So let's keep things a bit in check. RFK Jr. may still kill it all off yet.

This is a terrible idea. I've never met a 16-year old who could tell their ass from a hole in the ground.

It depends on what they're doing. There are legitimate law enforcement duties where wearing identification and body cams would make the task impossible and even dangerous.

I am disappointed that those percentages weren't much nearer to 100.

I'm not sure what the focus of these are, but there are normal, patriotic Canadians who own Tesla vehicles. "Taking down" their dealership support isn't really helpful to them.

That's okay. Most of us don't plan on ever coming back down there again anyway.

The question now is whether Ukraine should even trust any intelligence the US shares with them if the suspension is lifted. It'll all have to be vetted by Putin first from now on.

I'm a fan of Lot 40 rye. I've not tried the cherry wood but it's twice the cost - is it worth it?

Well presumably they can only deport foreign nationals, so no, I don't think they'll be deporting whomever they like. They do have other tools for silencing them though.

The "dictator on day one" also told a crowd that in "in four years, you don't have to vote again." I don't see any reason not to believe him at this point. I think he's going to try and make this past election the last election - or at least the last one they ever had any chance of losing.

There is no chance Trump wrote that himself.

I've often been a critic of Joly, and never a supporter. But my opinion of her just went way up.

Worse than that, for the 18-24 year age group the vote was 1 in 2 for the combined pro-Russian parties (AfD, Linke, BSW).

These are all fair points, and as I say, this is not my field, but with respect to their reliance on western components, they now have an agent as US president, and he's giving them Ukraine for free, after which he'll likely begin supplying them everything they need. I hope I'm wrong.

The Soviets managed to pull it off during WWII. Their armour and armaments production increased each year of the war. You're far more conversant in these things than I, but I'm not sure I would write them off so quickly.

Here's a link to their actual press release. It doesn't explicitly say anything about revoking their endorsement of Trump.

Canada cannot defeat the US militarily (obvously), but any thought that they'ed just roll over without a fight is foolish. Things will get extremely ugly for everybody.
