Freeland recounted that a Canadian business leader told her that 🇺🇸Commerce Secretary Lutnick had threatened to send 🇺🇸 troops across the border unless Canada backed down. If accurately reported, such a threat would be extraordinary. Canada’s sovereignty and independence must never be taken lightly.

Explained: Zelenskyy is using strategic amplification and selective validation, publicly endorsing a prominent Trump loyalist's dissent on Ukraine to exploit an existing MAGA factional divide. The tactic creates internal friction, potentially triggering infighting without directly confronting Trump.

Trump cannot understand Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy thinks being rich & powerful are less important than defying an invader & his saving his country. To Trump this is pig-headed, stupid. To Ukrainians, & non-sociopaths everywhere, it is simple patriotism. It is what any real leader would do.
