Probably because his attacking Canada and EU military projects and demanding subserviance, meanwhile they are losing a war to Iran and emptied their stockpiles. US weapons are exposed as pork barrel tools of corruption and they need new buyers.

Bragging about colonialism.

Sure but who? I assume rotating? Else this massively benefits one nation in spite of the rest.

Good luck Australia on that deal. The country is wrought with instability made worse by Wagner, ISIS and having alienated all neighbours.

And Canada which seems to be fully aware.

Performative, pathetic. Its not like they can deny it.

But he warned people should not have highly sensitive conversations in their cars or near their phones, given foreign governments’ ability to listen in.

Hmmmm if only there were privacy and human rights advocates warning us that ubiquitious recording will be able to be turned against us. /s

Sure “my government wont abuse that information”.

But a) private foreign companies do, b) as per this article, foreign governments do, and c) yes, push comes to shove, even “your” government will abuse these.

The genocide continues. Palestine is being systematically erased.

The above replier gives me similar vibes to USians saying “I dont like trump but canada has been ripping the US off”. No, it hasn’t. Its been the opposite since forever. From invasions in the early days to softwood lumber tariffs and now a trade war. US exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.

Blatant ethnic cleansing.

It is upheld by reducing education of USians and promoting American exceptionalism. It is not logical in that it is slowly destroying their own nation.

Its crazy how many Americans are imperialists.

Alberta has more oil than the rest of the EU combined and blocks our access to BC. Cutting off our face in spite of our nose. Im also born albertan, raised Ontario, lived in Europe for a decade. Alberta, especially its cities, is still closer to Toronto in culture than the EU is, truth be told. I work in Brussels and still would rather Canada not be EU. Im not alone.

On top of everyone else its just a practical reality. Alberta is already quite estranged from Ottawa as it is, add Brussels to the mix and it will be way worse. And as much as we would like to admit, we have half as much culturally in common with EU as we dont. But extended trade relations? Hell yeah sign us up.

You lost my engagement. You have nothing but propaganda-based lies with zero evidence or backing. No, I do not think the Ukrainian government would start kidnapping women for pornography. You are an asset or agent of imperialism.

I see you have moved the goal posts from state sponsored kidnapped women to “Ukraine isnt ready”… don’t mind me if my eyes are rolling now.

Nah your generalizations are ridiculous. The article talks about legalizing pornography which would allow them to tax the companies. Ukranian pornography stars already exist but are forced underground.

Drafting men for mobilization is different than legalizing an underground market that when unregulated benefits from exploitation.

You want to make a stand about mobilization, push for women to be called for national service. Dont push some bullshit moscow-sounding lies about state run pimps.

Foreign billionaire family who owns a local water company? Yeah fuck them.

Out of curiosity why does wartime make a difference if there is a moral line. Also legalization if done right will reduce victims as it will be regulated such as by European standards.

True but since we are just speculating, its been predicted that geurillas will be shifting heavily to drone warfare. Started with Myanmar but it was only inevitable that Latin American militia would pick it up too.
