Russians shamelessly sharing an attack on firefighters in Kherson in their tg channels.

A blatant war crime, just like everything the bastards do in this life.

Trump's Threat to Take Over Canada Is a Scandal Trump keeps threatening to annex Canada. Americans would never accept such talk from another country.

β€œIt is, or at least it should be, a damp stain on our national conscience, and your average outraged Canadian is responding rationally. If anything, it’s the American public that should be taking Trump’s depravity more seriously. We allowed this to happen.”

I served in West Germany in the 80's in the 4th Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group, which was at that time part of a US Division. It pains me to say that I cannot trust the US and feel Canada need to safeguard our sovereignty from our southern neighbour. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I hope we are learning from the American experience. When a tyrant tells you they are going to be a Dictator, believe them. I think Canada is seeing past the lies of the β€œcommon sense revolution” and can now understand the dark motives behind the populist rhetoric.
