February 19, 2025 The past week has solidified a sea change in American—and global—history.

We know it has nothing to do with the welfare of the people. There is no moral obligation. We know it is about power through acquisition and monetary gain. We know from JD Vance that it's about only white men accessing that power. There won't be any wars if they agree on the spoils ahead of time.

If the two of them are carving up Ukraine, they will want peace there to start mining. Is this why Trump says he doesn't need Canadian minerals anymore. He's taking Ukraine's.

But Trump doesn't need Putin anymore to stay elected. He needs Musk and the tech bros to keep him on as king of their incoming dark enlightenment corporate fiefdoms. Trump will be kept on as a figurehead like it is in England.

You lay out clearly how we got to where we are today. I'm still fuzzy on what Trump gets in return from Russia. Trump's offered Ukraine support in return for 50% mineral rights. So is Russia getting the minerals located in its land grab and a G8 spot and no more sanctions? And Trump gets Ukraine?

Yes but he says "But you can't shoot values." Is he just misspeaking? He seems to be downplaying having values hence morals and ethics.

Thank you. My country is about soft power. What is he talking about when he says values are important but you can't shoot values...

Could you please explain hard power? Is this a real term or a Trumpism?

The Hard Power planet with flags and values apparently. And shooting. Can't forget that.

Still seeing some of their commentary but the wind is out of their sails with Trudeau resigning, Carney talking sense and all leadership candidates saying they will remove the carbon tax. So they just sound silly now. The tariffs are our main focus and we are unified across party lines on that.

Yes we did. Heinz has since come around to seeing things our way and are using our tomatoes again. But I still buy French's.

No we have not. But we are furious now. This 51st state thing has galvanized us.

Trump is crashing your economy so he can resurrect it on his terms. No unions. Low wages. Company towns. You won't need cheap immigrant/migrant labour. You're going to be that labour, like it or not. Canada is going to scramble like hell to avoid the drain you are going down.

Thanks. Much appreciated
