Macron: In no case should an increase in the price of oil lead us to change our position with regard to Russia. That is the position of the G7 and, of course, that of France and Europe.

Not to mention the US lifting of restrictions on Russian oil that will funnel billions into its war machine against Ukraine.

NEW | The United States lifted sanctions on Russian oil that is already on tankers at sea until April 11, 2026, a decision that will buttress the Russian war economy. www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/rus...

I’m sure the U.S. lifting restrictions on Russian oil purchases, allowing the Russian war machine to grab a windfall of $1.3bn to $1.9bn, wasn’t celebrated by Moscow at all. 🤨

If you read the whole article, it’s clear why Ukraine must do this. Because it’s all about Russia benefiting from the oil situation that the U.S. has created!

Agree. It’s like we have landed in some hellish limbo—the old order is no longer working; there is no new order yet.

We are unable to stop illegal actions by the U.S. and unable to protect ourselves if we try. So Carney bobs and weaves leaving us confused as to what, if anything, we stand for.

I must admit, I find Carney’s stance confusing. Very confusing.

Of course they want to talk. And they will say what he wants to hear. And then make other plans.

I have to agree. Cutting off the head of the snake only works if the snake has only one head.

Democrats Push for War Powers Vote to Curtail Trump Iran Strikes Democrats are pushing for a vote next week on a resolution to curtail President Donald Trump’s authority to conduct strikes in Iran, a move that would reassert Congress’ role in approving the use of military might.

I think we all need more information on why Carney expressed support for Israel and the U.S. at this time without even referring to the illegality of their actions. I hope it will be explained!

I wish the PM had said that — that this is an illegal strike.

Hmmm. What’s going on here? Not usual for Canada to be out of step with the UN and NATO allies. I’ll be waiting for clarification on the rationale for this. Hope it comes quickly.

I’d like to better understand what has changed in the interim. We have two known bad actors attacking another bad actor. Carney is known for compartmentalizing. That is, if a bad actor does a right/necessary thing, he will support it — without supporting whatever else the bad actors are up to.

Please no. I’m just at the point where I could afford a premium seat in longer flights. Which also happens to be the point at which I can no longer tolerate the economy sardine can.
