The US Secretary of State refers to the "Russia-Ukraine war" in a typically weasel-worded statement on Ukraine's independence day. The first rule of Trump administration foreign policy: nothing is ever Russia's fault.
Brilliant strategy.
Because if you’re preparing for an impending attack then obviously the first thing you’d do is help your enemy expand their territory and then provide substantial economic, logistical, and material support to aid their war machine, while aligning your propaganda and purging people who criticise your enemy,
And you do all this for nearly two years, right up to the moment of that impending attack, which somehow still catches your forces by complete surprise because you’d been dismissing warnings of it as Western propaganda.
That is strategy so brilliant that you spend the next half century censoring any mention of how brilliant it is.
Zelensky has given a new “Gratitude of the Ukrainian People” award to the people of the UK. The award is given "to honor our friends, our true partners who have helped us from the very beginning".
One of the most frustrating experiences I've had over the last year is watching the inability of senior EU and UK officials, analysts and academics to grasp existential risks Canadians, Mexicans and states around the Caribbean face at the hands of escalating American aggression
Canadians and Mexicans have been some of the closest allies and friends Europeans could have hoped for over the last century. In the face of US aggression they deserve more than the geopolitical equivalent of a good luck card from Brussels and London.
Poland is proud to be the first country in the world, the same day with Canada, to have recognized Ukraine's independence.
I salute the heroes of Ukraine's Armed Forces for standing up to Putin's aggression so successfully.
Russian imperialism is a threat to all of Europe.
The Romanian authorities have began the process of equipping Bucharest’s two largest international airports with systems capable of detecting, tracking, and shooting down drones.
What matters is that 35 years ago, on August 24, 1991, Ukraine did not simply declare its independence from the USSR and finally become a separate country.
It restored its statehood and independence first proclaimed in 1917–1918, amid the flames of the widespread collapse of World War I — and drowned in blood by Lenin’s Bolsheviks.
This is excellent news. As well as an important development for Ukraine, it's important for UK security to show that the UK government is undeterred by the latest round of Russian threats.
It’s official: Ontario’s new advertising campaign in the U.S. has launched.
Using every tool we have, we’ll never stop making the case against American tariffs on Canada. The way to prosperity is by working together.
Watch our new ad.
I'm puzzled by how some of my usually-articulate American friends can't acknowledge "we are going to annex you; please support our wars" is not a particularly attractive proposition to Canadians.
Some nice scenery to go with your morning coffee: the Ozon logistics hub in Tyube, Dagestan, has expanded their fire sale to all the contents of the warehouse.
I like my morning coffee and my morning Russian skies the same way: pitch black. ☕️
