Neo-Royalists have forgotten the trap of the old royalists.
They have their moment in the sun until they meet their end in bloody revolution.
Instead of talking about neo-royalists we'll be talking about neo-Marxism.
Always think at least 2 revolutions ahead.
Time moves faster than it did.

The EU has to be very careful.
Canada has a data sharing agreement with the US. It is only per person when they cross or are stopped by LEO's.
The US demanded access to the entire database "for security reasons", that's every single person in Canada.
They didn't get it.

Thank you!!
Finding nuggets of information like this is the primary reason I'm anywhere near social media in the first place.
While I've skimmed most of this, a deeper examination is warranted during "normal" hours of wakefulness.

Stephen Miller's "Iron Laws" became antiquated the moment Trinity occurred.
The atom levels the playing field between strong and mid-level nations.
Nuclear non-proliferation is quietly receding, as many nations have the technical skill to make nuclear weapons.
Extremely dangerous times.

Notice how this is working?
NATO includes the US,
EU + Canada doesn't.

This is an asymmetrical proxy war.
Russia is using these attacks to pull the EU away from Ukraine.
The best way to counter is to double down in Ukraine with more of everything, paid for by seized Russian assets.

The fractions are different between CA and VE crude. Refineries are engineered at construction or retrofitting to handle certain feedstocks.

Not too long ago, conspiracy theorists would have a field day making all sorts of accusations about the Left.
Now that they're in power, they'd be happy to implement, because they'll do anything to stay in power. They'll blame the Left anyway, as planning it.
