    What’s happening here is that the US is getting Canada to fund their proxy war. Incredible how people are dumb enough to cheer for this.

    The money will be used to buy munitions from the United States. Despite pressure from the war with Iran, the United States will be able to meet Ukraine’s needs, Carney says.

    And yes, it is literally an American proxy war as has been now publicly admitted by no lesser person than the US Secretary of State. https://thehill.com/homenews/5179806-russia-us-proxy-war-ukraine

    edit: I just love how mad people get when you point out the basic facts of the situation as openly reported in mainstream media

      Ukraine would be a respectable country if they didn’t sell their assets at a huge discount to fund the war.

      https://privatization.gov.ua/en/ (funded by USAID)

      When private individuals send money to Ukraine, they need at least a 100% ROI (almost all of the privatization auctions were sold at 50% of value and will be worth more if Ukraine wins the war).

      But if the government sends our money to Ukraine, they just give it away.

      Why bother paying taxes if it just goes to rich people?

        I wish Canada had a serious media that would track where all this money exactly goes, especially since we are doing this on debt.

        Ukraine would be a respectable country if it wasn’t an openly fascist regime. They’re not even trying to hide it, but of course you have to translate from Ukrainian which western media doesn’t seem to do for some weird reason. https://nv.ua/ukr/lifestyle/spisok-pidarasiv-u-budanova-pomitili-nezvichniy-bloknot-50603357.html

            It is weird how a lot of queer people on .ml and Hexbear support Stalin when Stalin would have had them shot for not supporting the birth rate, or being anti revolutionary by having sex with the same gender.

            But somehow the people Stalin hated equally as his son, are some of the biggest defenders of him. Always weird.

              agreed. its also weird that they defend the kleptocrats who currently occupy the kremlin as though they give the slightest fuck about communism.

                “critical support for the capitalist state that doesn’t even pretend to be socialist”
