The unfolding disaster of the Trump administration in regards to Iran, is a self-inflicted wound on so many levels. It showed that military might alone is not a silver bullet. What went wrong? 1.) Atrocious planning and slow reaction It was known for 47 years that if Iran gets attacked that the Strait of Hormuz will be a target. When Iranian civilians were rising up in January 2026 and then were left alone, it was claimed that the military built up had to be concluded before an military engagement can happen. This cost valuable time. A military intervention so early and in conjunction with uprisings on the ground would have caught much more momentum. Worse, even after that delayed attack, the US strategy still didn't account for the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. So it was a double-loss. 2.) No coherent strategy and missed military developments Once the operation started, again, Iran was reacting in a predictive way, launching thousands of drones and missiles which they had refined in the war in Ukraine. It was clear that the low-cost but numerous weapon systems will eventually cause a lot of damage. Ukraine has been experiencing this for 4 years and developed effective countermeasures. The Trump administration, however, repeatedly refused to heed the help and advice from Kyiv, and even belittled it. The US military, on the other hand, and even more the Arab countries in the Gulf quickly learned the hard way that this rebuff was stupid. Eventually, they invited Ukrainian drone experts. The USA lacked any kind of strategy when the Iranian regime refused to collapse and were absolutely ill-prepared for this kind of war. 3.) Lacking support by allies You might argue that Bush's Iraq war was ill-planned and when it comes to long term planning this was certainly the case, but it was far more successful in bringing in allies. More than 30 countries participated as the "coalition of the willing" back in 2003. Trump's Iran war, on the other hand, was widely an "one-man-show". Aside from Israel, the USA were practically alone. This resulted directly from Trump's repeated attacks against allies, including those who supported the USA in Afghanistan and even Iraq. It was clear that after that nobody wanted to risk his or her neck for somebody who repeatedly insulted them and their countries. The fact that Trump didn't bother to consult them beforehand only reaffirmed their stance. 4.) Decline of US soft power thanks to "DOGE" The destruction DOGE left in its wake is immeasurable. Gutting crucial elements of American soft power such as USAID, Voice of America and dozens of other programs destroyed a lot of goodwill the US had in the region and across the globe. The perception of the USA moved from a powerful benefactor to an aggressive and transactional bully. In its relentless obsession to fight "wokeness" - or what was perceived as such - the foundation of soft power, which was built in almost a century, was trampled on in a matter of months. From the carrot-and-stick approach only the stick remained, and that one turned to be flaccid. 5.) Overall downfall of the USA Let's not mince words here. Trump is a wrecking ball for US' democracy. Insider trading, corruption, mass lying, cozying up to dictators and an absolute disdain for the rule of law had a direct impact on America's standing in more than just political or morale questions. No matter how loud you scream in certain parts of the USA, it is fact that the USA under Trump have lost huge respect in the world. The enemies of the USA hate you just as must they hated you before, maybe even more, but your friends are absolutely shocked and aghast about what is happening. Far more devastating, however, is US' unreliability. What was agreed upon before, can change on a whim. "Good relations" are defined by one man and one man alone. This is not how you conduct policy, neither domestic nor foreign. The USA are in full decline and the big bang will certainly come if the trajectory is not immediately corrected. The strategic defeat in Iran is even worse than Vietnam, because Vietnam gave Washington the lesson from which they learned and eventually won the Cold War. What Trump is doing, however, is just doubling down on stupid and denying reality, which didn't work before and won't work even less now.

@lao6942 @Tendar I don't care you ignoramus. You are a fucking millipede 😂

@buddyguy010 @Tendar Awww. I touched a nerve in this one. Poor baby

@ChristophE55272 @mmeeuw Clean your fleshlight and go back to your room you incelibate cuckold. You disgust me, waste of oxygen.

Totally disingenuous. And with the translation in Dutch below, Europeans are seeing this lie. I do think that Trump should have taken the $1.776 billion, placed it in an escrow account, then earmarked those funds to victims of the Biden Fraudministration directly from that account. Taking it directly from the Treasury and sending it out to J6 and other victims can be made to look unseemly, just like Krugman, the opportunist, has done here. I'm sure Trump wants this to look like the government "knows" it did wrong and is "correcting that wrong." I would have preferred the IRS send a tax bill to all registered DeFRAUDocrats who voted for fraudulent Biden in 2020. That would be fairer all around.

Nobelprijswinnaar Krugman noemt Trump de meest openlijke corrupte leider. "We weten dat Putin zich met miljarden heeft verrijkt, dat haalde hij niet direct uit de schatkist. Er was altijd verhulling. Zelfs dictators uit derdewereldlanden proberen hun diefstal te verdoezelen."

@Gibberingwreck1 @burzerker @Tendar it won't be the last time. plenty of abuse to go around for these salivating fucktards that want to dismantle western society with hubris so we can all eat dirt together for the next century.

@buddyguy010 @burzerker @Tendar Excellent abuse. First class, and totally justified.

@lao6942 @Tendar It's in the fucking writeup you illiterate moron. Read it, clean your fleshlight and go back to your room. You disgust me.

@Tendar Ok, couch potato. Tell everyone how you would have done it and we will critic your plan. Otherwise, kindly fuck off!

@burzerker @Tendar oh go clean your fleshlight you retarded incelibate cuckold.

@Tendar It all started with Obama letting them get to this point. Quite the pile of shit he left to be cleaned up.

@slawman75 @howardanglin prepare for your life to fall apart and everything you hold dear to crumble into dust as the institutions you pay tax money to provide service to you get assumed by grafting corruption artists. This is all a billionaire psyop to steamroll the rest of the North American continent

@howardanglin Blow up the system entirely? I’m already voting to leave, Howard. You don’t have to convince me more.

There’s a reason it’s called the Statute of Westminster, 1931. Anyway, you can’t invoke the power of the Crown to reject the Crown. The principle of democracy is exercised within the constitution: once you reject the constitution, you can’t appeal to it to constrain the exercise of democracy by any city or territory. You blow up the system, you deal with the fallout.

@Highres_BN @AnatoliUkraine unedcutated.... indeed. Shut up incel cuck

@AnatoliUkraine You fundamentally err. Kallas is one of the most dumb, unedcutated and uninformed European „leaders“, who fragment, divide and make the union paranoid. She is a mess and a shame.

Kaja Kallas is saying out loud what many European leaders quietly understand: A united Europe is one of the few entities on Earth large enough to resist pressure from Washington, Moscow and Beijing at the same time. That’s exactly why extremists, oligarchs and foreign influence networks work so hard to keep Europe fragmented, paranoid and internally divided. Empires prefer neighbors. Not rivals.

@007GoldMiner @MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc lol. I don't really give a shit, if this russia-MAGA dickeater ever gets near me they'd sorely regret it. We won't need treason laws when these people dismantle every institution that has been progressively built in western society since the magna carta. Many people will perish

@buddyguy010 @MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc Lmao. Couldn't even strip a CONVICTED terrorist of citizenship b/c a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. And you think you're going to be able to change the laws to turn this into treason? Lmfao.

STATEMENT ON PROVINCIAL ADDRESS The Premier of Alberta intervened to lower the threshold for getting a separatist question on the ballot. She then intervened to eliminate a review requiring the question be constitutional. She intervenes again tonight after yet another court has told the separatists to slow down and follow the law. The premier can wrap these actions in the words of democracy, but she is willfully ignoring the will of the vast majority of Albertans who want no part of this separatist conversation. The simple reality, a reality you would not find in her speech, is this: she has pushed along a question because a group has threatened to bring down her and her party if she does not. Her internal political problems have become our national crisis. The Premier asserts her patriotism. I will take her at her word, but I will remind her a patriot puts country ahead of party. A leader steers the agenda, rather than having it blindly dictated to them. An Albertan finds ways to do what’s right, not justifications for doing what’s wrong. This baffling, referendum-on-a-referendum question will do nothing to settle anything. It adds another layer of confusion. It will divide. It will distract. It will damage. I hope her government will consider how to step back from this madness before the damage to our province’s social fabric and economy is too great. Corey Hogan MP Calgary Confederation

@007GoldMiner @MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc I don't give a shit 😂 a traitor is a traitor is a traitor. I suppose since said commenter is actually a paid Russo-MAGA bot operating out of Tennessee, The Netherlands, India or Russia, they might not fit the bill of "traitor" since they're not Canadian anyway

@buddyguy010 @MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc Lol. Maybe look up the definition according to the Criminal Code of Canada before you spout off any more nonsense. Hint: this doesn't meet the definition as laid out in the CCoC.

@MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc @IFindCADRetards That shitstain has found me many times you little incelibate cuckold 😉

@buddyguy010 @coreyhoganyyc @IFindCADRetards

@alberta_free4 @coreyhoganyyc No salt water in Alberta you fucking animal

@coreyhoganyyc A Liberal saying..."A patriot puts country before party"....Where you been the last 11 years. Shame on anyone that voted for you.

@MapleMagaMandy @coreyhoganyyc You belong in a prison cell, traitor.

@coreyhoganyyc Oh boo hoo. You really have a problem with Albertans getting a say on their future. Too bad for you.

The Centurion Project's voter surveillance tool was built by US political operatives with direct ties to the Trump regime. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli The data on 2.9 million Albertans was loaded onto an app built with US funding, shaped by US political strategists, and deployed by a Canadian separatist organizer who spent nearly two years cultivating US partners before launching the Centurion Project. The question is not whether there is a US connection to what lawyers have called potentially the most significant privacy breach in Canadian history. The question is how deep the operation goes, who in the Trump orbit knew about it, and how far are they willing to take it. On the night of 29 April 2026, David Parker stood in front of supporters at the Edmonton Oilfield Technical Society and unveiled the Centurion Project app, describing the technology as the same tool that "helped Trump win Michigan." Minutes after Parker finished speaking, an Elections Alberta investigator arrived with Edmonton police officers to inform organisers they were under investigation for improperly accessing and using the province's list of electors. Parker had already loaded the names, addresses, and voter identification numbers of every judge, every lawyer, every politician, every domestic abuse victim, every First Nations chief, every journalist, every senator, and every elections investigator in the province onto that app. Former premier Jason Kenney, on learning his home address had been shown to meeting participants, retained legal counsel and said he had previously received threats from people involved with the separatist, anti-vaccine, and far-right movements in Alberta. The database was accessible to anyone with the link, with no identity verification required. Parker is a former Harper PMO staffer and the founder of Take Back Alberta, the political machinery credited with installing Danielle Smith as leader of the United Conservative Party. Smith attended Parker's wedding in 2023. UCP caucus staff attended an online Centurion Project meeting in April 2026, though the UCP says staff believed the data being presented had been legally obtained. Smith says she learned about the breach through media reports. Elections Alberta confirmed the list came from the Republican Party of Alberta, a registered provincial party that advocates for independence, which had lawful access to the data. Investigators use fictitious "salt" names seeded into lists distributed to parties to identify the source of any leaked copy. Those salt names appeared in the Centurion database. Parker has not denied this. He has described the database as "like a phone book" and said it was intended to help volunteers search for friends and acquaintances they could canvass. He has also said he obtained the list on what he described as the black market for $45,000. Both things cannot be simultaneously true. By 13 May, Elections Alberta had issued 568 cease-and-desist letters: 23 to people identified as having received full copies of the list, and the rest to people who had created accounts to access the searchable database. Lorne Gibson, former Election Commissioner at Elections Alberta, told Canada's National Observer: "It's the largest data breach in Canada. I haven't heard of anything that surpasses that scale." Parker has not cooperated with the investigation and has refused to sign a statutory declaration confirming compliance with a direction to cease and desist. The RCMP announced its own investigation in April. Alberta's Privacy Commissioner opened a third parallel investigation in May. Elections Alberta is pursuing a permanent injunction at a Court of King's Bench hearing scheduled for later this summer. Take Back Alberta, Parker's previous organisation, was fined $120,500 by Elections Alberta in February 2025 for circumventing election advertising spending limits and for accepting contributions from outside Alberta and Canada. Parker refused to cooperate with that investigation too, and was subpoenaed. He told PressProgress regarding his donors: "I wouldn't want to be naming those donors if I was Elections Alberta. It's a dangerous game messing with the powerful." The app and its architects The Centurion Project is not a novel idea. It is an adaptation of a Michigan tool called 10xVotes. Parker says he spent nearly two years building the collaboration. "For almost two years, it'll be two years this fall, I've been working with them, talking with them, trying to build this out," he told a podcast. "And the result is the Centurion Project." He described it as "the 10x slash the Centurion Project app." A version of the Michigan app reviewed by PressProgress has a substantially similar interface to the Alberta tool. The collaboration predates the public launch by at least a year. Canada's National Observer found a 10xVotes subdomain, skcn.10xvotes.com, registered in March 2025, a full year before the Centurion app went public, pre-stocked with names and addresses of several thousand Albertans concentrated in central Alberta around Red Deer. Approximately 150 entries were already marked "claimed," indicating active use. Elections Alberta appeared unaware the site existed until it was reported by media. 10xVotes is the assumed name of a company called Voteatron LLC, the brainchild of two west Michigan political operatives. Drew Born, a Grand Rapids commercial real estate broker and director of Voteatron, runs a group called Michigan Family Action and previously ran for chair of the Michigan GOP. He has promoted the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 plan on social media, been photographed at Turning Point USA galas at Mar-a-Lago posing with Project Veritas' James O'Keefe, and been photographed alongside Trump's FBI director Kash Patel. He has also advocated, in posts that are documented and archived, for the annexation of the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Born's backers tout 10xVotes as a tool that helped deliver Michigan's 15 electoral college votes to Trump in the 2024 presidential election, and Michigan Republicans were holding statewide information sessions about the platform in hopes it would help return right-wing candidates to Congress in the 2026 midterms. Parker told a podcast he "used all of my political capital with Tucker [Carlson] to get them to endorse it on stage that night," at a 2024 Tucker Carlson Live event in Grand Rapids where 10xVotes paid $50,000 for a VIP suite. Drew Wierda, 10xVotes' other founder, introduces himself as the nephew of Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, the brother of Trump's first-term education secretary Betsy DeVos. Prince is himself a former donor to Pete Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. Born and Wierda are both alumni of Hope College in Holland, Michigan, a private Christian liberal arts school affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church. This matters because the Dutch Reformed Christian-conservative donor network in west Michigan is not merely a religious community. It is a power structure, and Pete Hoekstra has operated inside it for decades. The ambassador's network US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra claims he was unaware that 10xVotes was being used by Alberta separatists. In his statement to PressProgress, he acknowledged having promoted the app in his earlier role but flatly denied personal involvement or financial stake. "I have zero involvement with 10xVotes," Hoekstra said. "I have never had any financial relationship with 10xVotes." Born and Hoekstra are both listed as directors of the Mecosta Environmental and Security Alliance, a Michigan group opposing the construction of an EV battery manufacturing plant in west Michigan. Beyond that, Born is the stepson of JC Huizenga, a Michigan businessman and major GOP donor. Huizenga is a long-time donor to Hoekstra's past congressional campaigns. He and Hoekstra co-chaired Mitt Romney's 2012 West Michigan leadership team and served together as board members of the Netherland-America Foundation. Hoekstra was later appointed US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term, where he was accused of foreign interference after hosting an event at the US Embassy for the far-right Forum voor Democratie of Thierry Baudet, attended by approximately 30-40 party donors. Dutch MPs called it a potential violation of the Vienna Convention. The Dutch foreign ministry was asked to investigate. Born's mother, Tammy Born Huizenga, has been appointed as a senior advisor to the US Department of Health and Human Services in support of RFK Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again agenda. The mother of the co-founder of the app whose Canadian adaptation is now subject to three concurrent investigations is currently serving inside the Trump administration. Hoekstra, when asked whether the US government takes a position on US actors helping secessionist groups in Canada, said: "Who they work with in Canada is not our responsibility." That is not a denial, it is a statement of non-accountability from the sitting USian ambassador to Canada. On 8 May 2026, ten days after Parker's app launch, Hoekstra abruptly cancelled a planned speaking engagement at the Canada Strong and Free Network conference in Ottawa. Conference organisers said he had been recalled to Washington for urgent meetings. His spokesperson said he was in Washington with a Canadian business delegation for the SelectUSA Summit and was called to meetings with senior White House officials. Hoekstra has not returned to Canada. The methodology of coercion What 10xVotes and the Centurion Project built is not just an app. It is a system for identifying who is persuadable, where they live, and who in their social network can be deployed to apply personal pressure and manipulate their perception and decision-making. The system works by asking each asset to identify ten people in their network who lean in the right political direction but do not reliably turn out. The asset is then responsible for those ten people. It is managed social manipulation, and it only functions if you know enough about your targets in advance. That is where the electors list comes in. With 2.9 million names, addresses, voter ID numbers, electoral districts, and, in the root database, phone numbers for more than two million entries, the Centurion app was a surveillance apparatus with political organising as its public facing identity, pointed inward at Albertans, operated by a group with active ties to USian operatives who publicly advocate Alberta's annexation by the United States. Canadian human rights defender and world-renowned philosopher Heather Marsh, whose work on data, democracy, and mass collaboration has been cited in academic and policy settings across Europe and North America, wrote about the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018 with a precision that applies directly here: "An uninformed vote is a coerced vote." — Heather Marsh The broader argument is that without access to and trust in information, democratic participation collapses into deference to whoever controls the information environment. The Centurion model does not even require convincing anyone of anything. It requires knowing where you live, who your neighbours are, and whether enough social pressure can be applied before referendum day. Marsh has written at length about the danger of transferring civic data to platforms outside democratic accountability. "No one should be gifting their innermost thoughts to states and corporations. Personal data is used to coerce public opinion and advance the interests" of those who hold it. — Heather Marsh The Centurion database, built on an illegally obtained provincial list, accessible to hundreds of unvetted people, and stored on infrastructure whose national jurisdiction remains publicly unconfirmed, is precisely the transfer she has spent years warning about. Neither the Centurion Project nor 10xVotes has answered whether any Alberta voter data was stored on US servers. That question is material to any assessment under PIPEDA and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act, and it remains open. What the US gains from a broken Canada The "I wasn't aware" framing papers over a question of motive. What does the Trump administration, or its aligned operatives, actually get from a destabilised Canada? Alberta sits on approximately 167 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, nearly four times the volume of the entire United States. It accounts for 84% of Canada's total oil production and 60% of its natural gas output. The value of Alberta's energy production reached $139 billion in 2024. Bitumen production alone generated $95.8 billion that year. The oil sands can sustain current production rates for more than 140 years. The US already buys nearly all of it: approximately 95-97% of Alberta's crude exports flow south. The problem, from a USian energy-dominance perspective, is that Canada controls the regulatory environment, the pipeline policy, and the pricing. A separated or annexed Alberta removes all three constraints simultaneously. Between April 2025 and January 2026, the Alberta Prosperity Project met three times with US State Department officials. A joint meeting with the State Department and the US Treasury was planned for February 2026 to discuss a half-trillion dollar credit mechanism upon achieving independence. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in January 2026, described Albertans as "a very independent people" and called the province "a natural US partner." The Alberta Prosperity Project's $500 billion credit ask, directed at the US Treasury, was not an ask for friendship. It was a request for US financing of Alberta's secession, with the implicit understanding that a newly independent Alberta indebted to Washington would not be negotiating pipeline policy from a position of sovereignty. A separated or annexed Alberta means US access to those reserves without Canadian environmental regulation, without Canadian pipeline policy, and without negotiating with a federal government in Ottawa. It means the end of Canada as a coherent trade counterpart, arriving precisely as Trump's tariff war has made Canada's unified bargaining position its primary economic defence. A Canada that cannot hold itself together at the negotiating table is a Canada that cannot hold itself together at all. The people who would benefit most from this outcome are currently in the Trump cabinet. Doug Burgum, Interior Secretary and chair of the National Energy Council, controls all executive branch agencies involved in energy permitting, production, generation, distribution, regulation, and transportation. He comes from North Dakota, which sits directly on the US side of the Alberta border and whose oil industry competes with and is integrated into Alberta's. An Alberta without Canadian pipeline policy means Keystone XL-style infrastructure becomes approvable by executive order, with no Impact Assessment Act, no Crown consultation requirements under Treaties 6, 7, and 8, and no federal Canadian government to negotiate with. Chris Wright, Energy Secretary and founder of Liberty Energy, is the fossil fuel industry's most prominent advocate inside the administration. Harold Hamm, executive chairman of Continental Resources and Wright's primary backer for the Energy Secretary role, helped organise a Mar-a-Lago event where Trump reportedly asked oil industry leaders to donate $1 billion to his campaign in exchange for deregulation. The deregulation Alberta's separation would provide, removing Canadian environmental law from 167 billion barrels of reserves, is worth orders of magnitude more than any domestic regulatory rollback. The pipeline and infrastructure play is where private capital intersects most directly with the political goal. TC Energy, Enbridge, and Pembina Pipeline are the three major operators of Alberta export infrastructure. All three are Canadian-headquartered. Under annexation or deep integration, US firms would be positioned to compete for or acquire that infrastructure under USian ownership rules. Koch Industries, the largest private funder of anti-regulatory, anti-federal-government political activity in North America, has pipeline interests through its Flint Hills Resources subsidiary and political interests that align precisely with the regulatory arbitrage that Alberta separation would provide. The royalty architecture matters too as Alberta oil currently generates royalties that flow to the Alberta government and, via equalization, partly to the Canadian federal government. An annexed Alberta means those royalties flow to a USian state or territorial government, with federal taxation going to DC. Over 140 years of production at current rates, the compounding fiscal value of that shift is incalculable. Bessent's public statement calling Alberta a "natural US partner" is not idle commentary from a Treasury Secretary who manages the world's reserve currency. It is a signal to financial markets, to separatist organisers, and to the government of Alberta that the US is watching, is interested, and has not yet decided what it will not do. Two tracks, one target The US interference is overt, while the Russian interference is covert. A website called albertaseparatist.com appeared after the 2025 federal election alongside YouTube and TikTok accounts of the same name. . Both were found to have been created by Storm-1516, a Russian covert influence network with a documented history of manufacturing fictional websites targeting audiences across multiple countries. The Kremlin-aligned Pravda News Network published 67 articles about Alberta or the "51st state" between December 2025 and April 2026, compared to 14 mentions of Ontario in the same period. A coordinated network of roughly 20 YouTube channels promoting Alberta separation and US annexation, identified by the Canadian Digital Media Research Network, had accumulated 40 million cumulative views. The hosts turned out to be hired actors recruited on Upwork. The operators, identified by their digital trail, were based in the Netherlands. Hoekstra was the US ambassador to the Netherlands during Trump's first term. US and Russian influence operations are increasingly converging, especially in coordinated influence and disruption campaigns aimed at the EU, Ukraine, the Baltics, Canada, Mexico, and other traditional allies. Regressive influencers tied to Tenet Media, which, according to a US indictment, is a US outlet funded by Russian interests, have amplified the same separatist content. A coordinated network of foreign-manufactured channels and domestically deployed surveillance infrastructure, built by operatives linked to the sitting US ambassador, targeting the same political fault line. Russia wants Canada to be unstable. The Trump regime wants Alberta's oil and a weakened federal government. While their methods and goals may differ on paper, the target is the same. Marsh wrote in September 2025 about democratic self-determination being hijacked by foreign-manufactured content, specifically addressing USians facing questions about their own country's future. "It is better to stand up and walk with dignity in your chosen path," "than to be swept along by Russian memes and TikTok analysis." — Heather Marsh She was writing to USians about their own country's politics. The observation applies with equal force to Albertans being asked to make a generational decision about secession through an information environment shaped by Storm-1516, the Pravda News Network, Tucker Carlson, and a surveillance app built in Michigan. In the same post, responding to suggestions that Canada should merge with the United States, she was direct: "No means no, even for nice guys." Part 1/

@whodatbevo @anniedufour99 Until blood is shed, you sick fuck?

@anniedufour99 Annie, how is it going with Alberta!!!!! Only a matter of time!

Trump still wants Greenland. No one is surprised. His envoy reiterated Trump's desire to annex Greenland in meetings held in Greenland between US and Denmark/ Greenland authorities. Louisiana Senator Jeff Landry landed in Greenland without invitation, dressed himself in military gear to tour Nuuk, the Capital, and imposed himself on Greenland PM. #Greenland #cdnpoli #uspoli

@CamCarnegie19 @anniedufour99 The current admin is squarely Putinist in ideology.

@anniedufour99 We know why

Canada : Trump's Department of War puts on ice its joint defence plans of the North American continent. They deem us unworthy because" we have failed in our defence commitments. " They want to go at it alone. #cdnpoli

@RJordan1936 @anniedufour99 Yes, let's buy more weapons that are 200% cost-inflated because corrupt grifters and oligarchs are skimming asinine amounts off the top, rather than delivering a fairly priced and efficiently manufactured product. Seems like a GREAT way to spend money!

@anniedufour99 Bottom line is that the US wants us to buy more US manufactured war materials. Canada needs to support their military industrial complex. Purchasing Euro goods no Bueno. End of story.

@DARthHElllmut @Rexie54755059 @jkenney he is is being channeled through your comment that cost a ruble for him to post.

@Rexie54755059 @jkenney Is Putin in the room with you? 🤡

This is nonsensical and counterproductive. Canada is finally getting serious about investing in national defence. This should be welcomed and encouraged by our allies, not attacked. For the first time since the Cold War, we have achieved the longstanding 2% GDP target, and are credibly moving to the new 3.5% core defence target. The Blame Canada crowd here is claiming that’s all the result of creative accounting. Nonsense. - We have adopted the same framework for scoring defence spending as most of our NATO allies - The federal budget and estimates show real, material budgeted increases to meet the targets - We are spending $55 billion to build 15 cutting edge destroyers, part of the larger naval ship building strategy launched by the Harper government - The RCN is about to launch the procurement of 12 new submarines - The RCAF is finally about to take possession of our first tranche of F35s as part of the new fighter jet fleet - Canada is spending tens of $ billions to modernize and expand Arctic military capacity - The decline in total Canadian Armed Forces personnel has finally turned around, and force size is expanding. Anyone who works in or close to the Canadian defence sector knows that this is real. Exciting things are happening in defence tech innovation, procurement, industry partnerships, etc. Canada’s underinvestment in national defence goes back decades under different governments. It was allowed to get to a shameful state, and for too long we have preened about our moral authority while living rent free under the American security umbrella. It will take time to achieve the ambitious goals of Canada’s defence rebuild. But Prime Minister Carney’s commendable defence reset began just a year ago. The Permanent Joint Board on Defence has been a key platform for cooperation on North American defence since the Second World War. It has operated in good times and bad: during our joint operations in the Korean and Afghan Wars; during much lower levels of Canadian defence spending; and even when a US President threatened to annex Canada. Our two countries have shed blood together in the defence of freedom. Geography dictates that we will always need each other to defend North America. So our alliance must be able to stand above occasional tensions in the bilateral relationship.

@KenRowland77 @Rexie54755059 @jkenney when you clean your fleshlight, incelibate cuckold?

@bodystrongdna @USWPColby Trump JUST went to China to suck up to Xi with all his oligarchs...

@USWPColby Chinada will serve China. Chinada will sacrifice citizens to serve the state. Chinada will empower oligarchy.

A strong Canada that prioritizes hard power over rhetoric benefits us all. Unfortunately, Canada has failed to make credible progress on its defense commitments. DoW is pausing the Permanent Joint Board on Defense to reassess how this forum benefits shared North American defense. 1/3
