There are many lessons of the Invasion of Ukraine, but one of the big one is this: It doesn't matter how much you spend on military if the weapons are out of date, or will be stuck in warehouses when your ally is attacked. #SlavaUkraine

Sarah Paine makes a really good point... if the Communist Party of China chooses to exercise their claim over Outer Manchuria, which currently is Primsorky Krai... Nobody is going to stop them in their reclaiming of the territory they lost in 1800.

This video is accurate, Carney is not a lefty, he's really quite centrist. Which just goes to show how in most of the world having close relations with the EU is not a left or right wing issue, it's a common sense political economic goal!

While the United States has held back support for Ukraine since the war began, American components find their way into Russian weapons and everyone shrugs and says “oh well” Everyone except #NAFO that is. We need fundamental changes.

#AOC2028 Gavin Newsom is shifty, dishonest, and right-wing. If he somehow became president, I expect he will continue the War in Iran, continue to deny aid to Ukraine like Biden and Trump, and continue Trump’s Tariffs. He has no charisma and is a loser.

GGWash: Zoning doesn't decide if housing is "affordable" - funding does, and that can happen anytime, even after a building opens. So opposing market-rate housing to "save room" for subsidized housing is incoherent: you can't subsidize a building that never gets built. ggwash.org/view/104401/...

Most subsidized or “affordable” housing in America was not initially built as such. It makes little sense to oppose new homes because they are not subsidized from the very start; those homes very…

Whether they are discussing it or not, given how Canada and most of the EU are already in NATO, and they already have a free trade agreement, expanding Schengen to North America is the most meaningful step to give real benefits to their citizens. It should be on the table.

Carney's key message in his speech is about Canadians and Europeans being able to live our lives as they choose. The problem is this... how are people in the northeast and west coast of the US able to live our lives as we choose while we are tied to the Confederacy? I don't see how that is possible.
