🇨🇦🇺🇸 NYT: Canadian PM Mark Carney said he examined the possibility of U.S.-led military action against Canada, calling it an “extreme tail risk.” “That’s not a base case, but it would be irresponsible not to prepare.”

Carney also said Canada is looking to reduce reliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink and is considering alternatives to buying a full fleet of U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets. Despite worsening trade tensions, Carney said he and Trump speak “frequently.”

And the night in Kyiv was even harder because of russian "fireworks", namely eight S-400 missiles, six Onyx and Zircon missiles, and even more drones. Two people were killed and at least eight were injured. Hate those mfs. #Ukrainianview
