Before I even clicked the video to see the context in which Carney responded “who cares” to a reporter asking when he last spoke with Trump, I knew it would a female reporter who asked the question.
Why? Because Carney is consistently more short with and rude to female reporters.

It’s because liberals (small-L) have always been full of shit and will just say what they need to get power.
I tell ya, the Liberals™️ are scary these days. Carney acting like a soulless banker, sure that was a given.
The party and its supporters though... They did a full 180 in whatever they call their politics and act like they always believed the diametrically opposate thing they beleived last year.

Yes, we're quite good at war crimes, though frankly, overrated. The whole "Geneva Convention had Canada in mind" claim is fake, but the Cdn reputation in WW1 as shock troops was justified.
The earlier Boer War was Canada's most odious: we even set up a racist cop org based on the NW Mounted Police.

Ian pls give me a fact check on the reputation of Canadians as the OG war criminals because I think you could draw a straight line to Don Cherry

The belligerent, maudlin, mythical “good-guy” narrative that Canadians love to embrace (I blame Don Cherry) is going to do nothing but 1) get more working-class Ukrainians killed and 2) enrich war profiteers. They care more about lines on a map

Carney could shoot a person in front of Parliament and some goof, like Wolf Z, would immediately log on to say "you dont understand the macroeconomic implications of murder on the Canadian economy like Carney does"

Jesus wept... VPNs are real. It's easier and much more pleasant to pretend the malign actors in this country aren't even in this country but use some common sense.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Copywrite 1978 in case anyone wants to say he had no possible way of knowing what the 2nd most obvious Nazi symbol ever was.
Oh look I got a book about the Third Reich and they were just as into the Greatful Dead as Graham Platner.

This got me blocked by a mutual without discussion. Any other takers?
Wishcasting the end of a war by demanding the side that's winning to unilaterally withdraw is asinine.
"Right" becomes "might" when you give the guns the job of settling your problems. That's what war is.

That's just not how war works. It sucks but reality is that Ukraine can't win. It must end.

I see people are dunking on Fury again, and right they are. It’s a crap movie with a crap premise, crap acting and crap depiction of tactics. Props to the uniform guys I think they did a good job, don’t @ me, not a uniform grog.
Anyways, where was I, ah yes.
Watch this instead. #movies #ww2

I think it’s in a period of economic decline, and its influence on the international stage is seriously waning for the first time since WW2, but I think that will lead to hard power increasingly being used to replace the lost soft power. I don’t see a ‘winds of change’ self-dismantling any time soon

I genuinely wish I beleived that the American Empire is collapsing but I genuinely don't see evidence of it.
It's in a period of decline to be sure, and it's pretty evident at this juncture that the US has transituoned fully to a single-party autocracy but it ain't going away.
