Really, Ukraine shows exactly what Europe and Canada need to do.

WW2 style production of drones.

China’s new carriers are already obsolete.

There are always weak men.
In the bad times they just hide more.

Welp, I guess someone finally told him about the whole Mexico and Canada promised him things we already did and ended the tariffs.

If Trump puts tariffs on Canadian oil, Americans will see an immediate 5% price jump in all goods, even the ones not covered by tariffs.

You missed that the tariff threat means he backed out of NAFTA. Which he re-signed last time.

I suppose it might be that first term he wasnt expected to win, so the only one with any sway was Putin, the Saudis, the MAGA nutjobs and other outside influence.

At this point though corporate US knows how to manipulate him, so I hope a more Dubya / Raegan style presidency is in order. Which are still disasters, but less so Trump 1.0

Sure we can probably reverse the changes to the climate.

Thats not going to bring back the bees and bugs, birds, bats and frogs lost to Glysophosate pesticides.

Its not going to restore the millions of square kilometers of dead pine forest in BC thanks to warmer winters screwing up the pine beetle ecosystem.

Likewise, the billions of dead snow crabs are gone. They’re not coming back, as are all of the dead seabirds and wildlife that needed them.

Even if we find a magic cure to the climate, the ecosystem we need is actively dying, and its a gamble if we can fix the climate and fix that before we are all fucked.

Yes, it might also already be too late to revert the damage done. So the morons are going to go out as rich as possible

More that Greenland is a huge track of land that will likely be free of ice in the next decade, and is entirely untapped for minerals as well as oil and gas.

They would lose, just like last time. Underestimate Quebec at your own peril.

You didnt mention Globe and Mail, which is not quoting him.

Yup. Absolutely.

The context in which he did those actions is critical though.

He’s quoting the New York Times there.

Reliable news channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gccPFeMJiE

Text of his actual speech: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/world/asia/president-yoon-speech-martial-law.html Mentioned that their budget cut 4.1 Trillion Won° from things like Disaster Prep and Child Care.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-yoon-suk-yeol-declared-martial-law-in-south-korea-what-does-that-mean/

°Google says that is ~3 billion USD, but this Globe and Mail(note: pro-business extremists) says 4 billion.

Because its more complicated than him just being a bad guy.

He did a stupid, very bad move, but it was because the CCP-infected, anti-Japan opposition passed a budget that forced his hand, it would have apparently cut all government funding by a ridiculous degree.

The article mentions that Israeli fans are at fault for all of this and that the arrests happened because a court ordered ban on all protests.

1. Its more that they’re returning to the old ways. Unfortunately it was a brief, exclusively western concept that justice was universal.
2. There is a solution to it. Western Europeans did it before, we can do it again.

I actually read the public mueller report for myself. I know what it said.

Whattaboutism.

So are the Saudis.

But to deny that the known efforts of the Russians to fuck with the GOP and at least one known instance of them fucking with BLM is foolish. Go to the Canada subreddit on any news related to India and its full of atrocious asfroturf.

Russia and Trump proved it effective, now everyone is doing it.
