Total conflict of interest. USA negotiators cannot be trusted.

Well at least you have an appreciation of Canadian humour, that does up your credibility a bit despite a ridiculous take on tariffs. After SCOTUS rules, and everything is rolled back, life will be better you guys and Canada.

LOL! Nice try

So when the tariffs are declared illegal, how is the government going to survive?

Love this, need to see you on there more often. Always a good take on the issues!

High level incompetence in action.

Hoping this is a trend. Brave men.

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

Yes, of course. Limit the army of the aggressor, not the victim. And jack up the army of the victim as high as it can go so aggressor never considers offending again.

Acting, of course, in the best interests of Trump. Anything to distract or diminish what might be coming.

I wonder why? For some reason they think it might provide a favourable slant to Trump? They seem not too interested in justice for the victims.

Yes, in other words there has to be at least some semblance of fairness.

He does. This is performative so we don’t completely lose Trump.

I’d be more encouraged to hear that 20 additional points were added. Maybe like reducing Russia’s military by 75% so they are unable to even consider attacking another nation. Or de-nuclearizing. Or paying reparations. The list goes on.

Limiting Ukraine’s strength and options going forward is ludicrous. They are the victim here. It’s the aggressor who needs their military severely curtailed. Russia must never ever be able to even entertain the idea of attacking Ukraine.

They talk about limiting the size of Ukraine’s military. That’s ridiculous. The limitation on military should be on the aggressor. Ukraine’s military should be such a size that Russia would not dare to attack. And such a size that it does not need guarantees.

Russia is suffering. They desperately want the war to end. But they also want to look strong and in control. It’s a hard act to pull off

I like this message. More power to you! Trump has to go, his wreaking of havoc is accelerating and he must be stopped.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

Send in the Clowns The Trump/Rubio Ukraine FUBAR

The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

This is incompetence in action. Anybody surprised?

War is hell. Russia, get out of Ukraine.

He would not get away with this but you know that he wants to. Congress and Senate will forcefully step in if he starts hinting at this

This would be a wonderful development. A check on Trump and his Russia-loving ways

Yes, less conventional weapons and more asymmetrical - and painful - warfare. This will all be on Trump, the war will change dramatically, not end. Putin needs it to end soon and Trump wants to help him.
