I can appreciate your viewpoint, but in my opinion, there is a difference. For the past 20 years our relationship with Ukraine has become stronger and stronger with the ultimate goal of them joining NATO. Putin has warned many times that is seen as an act of aggression

The difference is that Canada has no long term building relationship with Russia. If they did, we would certainly act on it.

you are higher than a kite. The US has labs and NATO installed military equipment in Ukraine right next to the border breaking the promise made to Russia saying they wouldn't AND against the agreement that Ukraine wouldn't be made a member of NATO... Also for the people that think trump worships Putin, you are delusional as well, you have to respect an adversary or their position in their country in order to carry on dialogue with them. Communist leaders respected when trump gave them the F**k around and find out mentality. The only leaders in Europe that don't like or respect Trump are the ones that already let their countries go to crap from a migrant invasion as well as gave control to NATO, WHO and the WEF... Look at what Javier Milei, has done in Argentina, he has turned the country around in 6 months by rejecting everything socialist.

I agree it was really the way things should be. You may have a different viewpoint but the thing is to listen with an open mind to the other, sometimes there are things there. For me, (I am pretty much in the middle, some left some right), I wish we would get back to discussing issues and ways to fix the issues. Not "you are trying to ruin the country" BS both sides are doing.

Its not a reality show on TV, or who is the next tweeter (Now X ) star.


Politics should be boring.

Every true leftist i have talked to doesn't want to budge on any points. Take my sister in-law, when it comes to abortion its her body, her choice, no arguments, no exceptions...nothing. I keep telling her i'm fine with having abortions available...BUT there has to be a cut off point somewhere. To me personally, its after the point of the child being able to survive out of the womb, I believe right now its around 24 weeks or right around 6 months. I mean if you cant decide what to do by that point then wtf? And yes there should be exceptions for medical emergencies, rape, incest etc.... there should be absolutely no reason for late term abortions. But that's just me...i'm sure someone is going to have some sort of argument for the opposite and i welcome the discussion....

Wally,

Pretty much on the same page. I just can't see why we can't agree that abortion shouldn't be considered a viable form of birth control. It seems pretty nutz to me that the Left is always so worried about how little Leon's life might have turned out had he been born to a rich, white family, but they don't give a rats azz how it would have turned out had he only been born at all.

Thanks. Brad.

At the moment we only have one.

Jay,

The irony here.....

We do have one functioning party: Republicans.

And the hilarious thing about these two memes is that they've already been debunked. Entirely.

Today's Left are the ones exhibiting fascist behavior. Demonstrably and in spades.

The Left doesn't know what economics is. They dismiss every proven practice in favor of emotional entrenchment.

They also don't believe in science, and they've roundly proven that. We've known for literally thousands of years what a woman is, and suddenly, to the Left, it's in question.

Next....

Thanks. Brad.

perhaps, however Rickles is too tall of a bar for Waltz as Rickles actually served in a war and didn't quit before deployment.
