Q: Why does Canada have a leader like Mark Carney, while the U.S. is stuck with Trump?
A: Because Canadians aren’t ignorant assholes eager to elect treasonous, malignant narcissists.
Q: Could someone like Carney ever win here?
A: No. He’s highly intelligent, & we prize idiocy.
Zelenskyy on Putin:
“China can no longer remain silent when someone puts on a sailor suit and military cap and, barely pronouncing certain words, starts talking about a nuclear strike.
China must respond. It must cool this fervor.
China must prove its ambition to be one of the world’s leaders — not only economically and technologically, but also as a civilization — by making it clear that no dictator has the right to threaten the planet with his old nuclear warheads.”
Les Ukrainiens profitent de la révolution de 1917 pour proclamer l’indépendance d’une République populaire ukrainienne
Sous occupation allemande jusqu’à l’armistice de 1918, elle se battra ensuite pour son indépendance contre la Russie bolchévique, qui la lui fera payer.
The gasoline crisis in Russia could be fatal for Putin’s regime, according to Deutsche Welle.
Fuel shortages in Russia are becoming increasingly serious amid Ukrainian attacks on refineries and other oil infrastructure. Problems are already being reported in at least 30 regions, with Moscow, the Moscow region, and southern Russia particularly affected.
Hour-long queues are forming at gas stations, and supply disruptions are beginning to affect more than just ordinary drivers. Taxis, courier services, construction, and logistics are also suffering.
Next in line are railways, freight transportation, industry, and agriculture.
At the same time, Russian discontent is growing, DW reports. The authorities are effectively being forced to create a separate fuel supply system for security forces, civil servants, and emergency services, allowing those with higher status to refuel without waiting in line.
One expert believes that, in the worst-case scenario for the Kremlin — and the best-case scenario for Ukraine — the fuel crisis could have fatal consequences for Putin’s regime.
212 years ago today, on August 24, 1814, forces from present-day Canada serving the British Empire burned the White House in retaliation for the American attack on York — now Toronto — during the War of 1812.

Je trahis la France en silence
Je méprise la République

The visit of the Trump’s criminal Ponzi team, real estate salesman Witkoff and Saudi along fund manager Kushner, to Ukraine has been postponed due to the intensification of strikes on Kyiv, according to Alex Raufoglu, a journalist for "Radio Liberty."
Unlike European leaders, they don’t do dangerous trips - they prefer the Mar-A-Lago hooker scene in truculent times.
🇨🇦 🇺🇸 A quick reminder of how trade with Canada actually works. The agreement governing it is the USMCA, negotiated by Donald Trump himself in his first term and hailed by Donald Trump himself as the best trade deal ever made. Six years of carefully stacked arrangements, and all it took was one clumsy grab at 50% tariffs, plus a 1930 Depression-era law so obscure no president ever touched it, to bring the whole shelf down on his own head.
And for those who remember the original justification: fentanyl. Pouring across the northern border, apparently, despite less than one percent of American fentanyl seizures happening anywhere near Canada. The pretext was fiction, so it was quietly swapped for new fiction while the wreckage kept piling up. Canada, sensibly, is matching the tariffs dollar for dollar.
Strip away the optics and one motive remains: manufactured chaos designed purely to hurt Canada, made by a man who never understood what he was dismantling. Possibly because Mark Carney is smarter than him. And, let’s be honest, considerably better looking.

"Euro-2" gasoline is rapidly disappearing, and Russians are complaining en masse. According to them, fuel consumption has increased significantly, and the car is running worse – they advise avoiding "Euro-2" at all costs.

Two More Years. That’s It.
Two more years, and then the planet will never again have to watch this man represent the United States on the world stage. And yes, I know, these will feel like the longest two years of your life. Like sitting in a traffic jam on the M25 behind a caravan, in the rain, with a wasp trapped in the car and nowhere to pull over.
There will be moments when you think it simply isn’t worth it. When you consider giving up, moving to a cabin in the woods and communicating exclusively with squirrels. I understand. Truly, I do.
But here’s the thing. There is an end to this.
One day, the motorcade stops. The podium disappears. The flags come down. The microphones are packed away. And this extraordinary spectacle of one man turning the presidency of the United States into a travelling grievance show becomes something we talk about in the past tense.
He may still shout. He may still post. There may still be cameras. But he will no longer be standing behind the seal of the President of the United States while the rest of the world tries to work out whether it is watching a superpower or an especially expensive nervous breakdown.
And that may be the strangest part of all when we look back.
Not that Donald Trump existed. History produces men like Donald Trump with depressing regularity.
It is that a country of 340 million people looked around, considered all the talent, intelligence, experience and basic adult competence available to it, and decided that this was the man it wanted to send out to represent America on the world stage.

@Microinteracti1 The scoundrel isn't a one-off.
He's the product of a diseased society that worships money & made selfish hyper-individualism into a religion.
A society whose rulers deliberately dumbed down public education to produce brainwashed, uncritical human cogs of production & consumption
Canadians understand Trump well.
You know who else knows how to handle Trump?
Iranians. They’re playing him like a piano.
Q: So, will MAGAts figure Trump out, too?
A: No— they’re the most stupid people in history. The ones with indoor plumbing still don’t know how to flush.
Désormais les drônes de longue portée ukrainiens sont capables de frapper les sites stratégiques russes jusqu'en Arctique. 2000 km. Le Cosmodrome de Plesetsk attaqué hier. Dégats non analysés.
Confirmation by denial 😎
❗️The Russian Foreign Ministry has denied reports in British media about Moscow's plans to downgrade relations with London.
"Nothing in the Embassy's comments indicated an intention to lower the level of relations. This is solely the speculation of unnamed sources in 'The Times'," the Russian Foreign Ministry told Interfax.
At Smolenskaya Square, they emphasized that the quality of relations between the two countries is "already quite poor, thanks to the efforts of London."
Earlier on Sunday, the newspaper "The Times" wrote that the recent completion of the diplomatic mission of Russian Ambassador to London, Andrei Kelin, was an "attempt to influence Britain's position on Ukraine," and that "the lack of a replacement has heightened concerns that diplomatic relations between the two countries are on the verge of collapse."
⚡Une excellente vidéo illustrant à quel point la Crimée s'est « embellie » à l'époque du « poutinisme » tardif (militaire).
Il convient de rappeler une fois de plus qu’avant « l’aventure criméenne » du « grand-père pilleur de reliques » en 2014, personne n’empêchait les Russes de se rendre en Crimée, aucune catastrophe écologique ne s’y était produite et les plages étaient remplies de vacanciers venus du monde entier.
