2014 protests that non-american news agencies agree were escalated by pro-russian protestors?

There were uppity protesters, ok. They were overwhelmed and burned alive for their uppitiness. Nazi regime liked the result and felt no need to investigate or punish. Entire post 2014 Ukraine history is "those who protest nazi scum that hates Russians are subhuman and need to be exterminated." Utter joke of relying on revisionist pro nazi western and Ukrainian warmongering sources for reality.

“Ukraine must … withdraw all of its troops from the entirety of the territory of four Ukrainian regions claimed and mostly controlled by Russia.”.

The liberated regions of Ukraine voted to join Russia. Pro nazi west could reasonably negotiate Ukraine keeping its side of Dniepro river as long as it agrees to demilitarize Ukraine. Land is negotiable. Nazi hatred that stays militarized for purposes of perpetual terrorist attacks on Russia is not. Ceasefire for purposes of just building more fortifications and waiting for new arms shipments/production is not a productive purpose. Yes, Ukraine could have had far better terms if it had not provoked the war.

the wholesale invasion and slaughter of Ukrainians is the US’s fault, not the Russian invaders?

100%. Losing a war has no relationship to who started it, and the US/Ukaine nazi rulership position is $1 of damage to Russia is worth 1m Ukrainian lives. Russia spent 8 years attempting peaceful resolution. NATO refused all discussions on Russian security concerns, and proudly boasted that ignoring Russia resulted in the sucessful colonization of 2 new slaves.

proof you have that of US coup/puppeting Ukraine

Very easy to do your own research. Not debatable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKcmNGvaDUs&pp=ygUPdWtyYWluZSBvbiBmaXJl

China used the same excuse during hong Kong protests.

Traitorous HK media mogul brainwashing "Love US values" was a clear shit disturber CIA asset intent on destabilization. That our media jumps on the CIA message opportunity to glorify destabilization is the inherent programing we are submitted to.

been 0 proof of any kind of ethnic cleansing

At least 10000 killed through shelling and other nazi operations. Odessa massacre.

the war was started by Russian aggression and a desire for USSR levels of territory

Complete lie. Russia's terms for peace are about the same as to have not started the war. No NATO, demilitarized if they need hateful rulers, but preferably denazified with fair elections. Terms that were always going to end war immediately.

examples of war where the side that is the defender was the bad guy/where aggression in order to violently control the political scene was viewed as a good thing. People routinely condemn the US for the very thing you’re claiming Russia is doing.

War on Russia was 100% provoked by US puppeted Ukraine. JFK was allowed to set red lines on Cuban missiles. Your theory is that all bar fights are started by the one seen throwing the first punch.

in 2014, the US bragged spending $5B on Ukrainian coup, and installing nazi puppet rulership. That rulership immediately, as Ukrainian nazi did in Georgia, implemented apartheid laws and ethnic cleansing against Russian population that forced secessionist/autonomy movement. Russia spent 8 years pursuing peaceful resolution to nazi evil, that the west boasted as being a delay tactic to arm Ukraine sufficiently to provoke war. The war's objectives are to keep a nazified militarized NATO aspirant Ukraine, to diminish Russia to the last Ukrainian. To this day, no matter how dim the prospects, Ukrainian terrorist missile capability is cheered on and enhanced to prevent peace and territorial/people integrity.

That you describe reality as pro Russia is demonic hatred to perpetuate a losing war to no benefit to anyone but weapons and oil profit grifters. You are directly responsible for the breakdown in unity and democracy even if you are just gullible rather than a liar profiting from evil.

Talk to Americans - they’re embarrassed by how their government is treating Canada.

The US political rulership, including retired UAW workers, is largely supportive of Trump's unjustified attack on Canada. There was a timid non-binding resolution in Senate, but there is no mass protest, or passionate vocal condemnation, of Trump/US attack on Canada. Instead, the poltical establishment recommendation is that the US needs to leverage its traditional soft power subjugation of its colonies that corrupts our democracy into unanimous subservience, and has historically been so successful, but that political establishment accepts a wait and see approach to Trump's extortion tactics.

Imminent US collapse is what elected Trump, and his confident grasping at straws that effectively accelerates collapse is beyond the intellectual capacity of the public to understand its counterproductiveness. Stealing from allies economies will sell well to morons who don't understand long term consequences, and potentially stave off collapse for a few years. Instead of grasping at straws of Russian mind control for hatred of immigrants and queers, understand the oil industry's lobbying and disinformation campaigns to inject cultural issues to preserve their dominance for a few years in the face of civilizational collapse. Understand also how war on Russia massively funded that lobbying/disinformation power in Canada and US during last election cycle. It will fund Alberta separation disunity as well.

Being anti-demonic warmongering lies and propaganda is not Pro Russia. Forcing Russia to defend itself, and use entire world's diesel refining capacity is forcing the collapse of civilization. It is always easy to prioritize demonic war over human sustainability, because of gullible and hateful people victimized by liars. Allying with a demonic US empire that has shown it hates us, at the relevant government/policy level, is contempt for humanity, not just Canada. That most Americans are polite enough to be likeable doesn't affect US policy.

afaiu, the court argument is not declaring that this is a fake emergency. It is that tariffs are not the appropriate response to reducing fentanyl imports.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

There's an appeal plan, and it's possible that they try to keep the tariffs during appeal process. That the US hates Canada hasn't changed.

Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?

Our defense needs are exclusively protecting us from US. Both NORAD and golden dome which would most likely be under NORAD supervision are expenses that we make to protect North America only because we are aligned with US evil that might require annihilation of those aligned with US evil.

Whether we buy our "force projection" and "defense projection" systems from other countries than US, our military/defense system so far has been to be under US command. We should be paid significantly to have NORAD and golden dome on our soil/air, but Canada does not actually need the protection unless it chooses US aligned evil against the world. We can measure the cost of evil in NORAD/Golden Dome expenses.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Canada should not be "negotiating"/subjugating itself to this. Instead it should demand the US pay for NORAD. There is a huge cost to Canada for sycophancy to US empire. Our entire military spending is based on force amplification to the US empire's demonic and genocidal imperialism, and the illusion of impunity for consequences, makes us cheer on the propaganda for evil, and not pay enough attention to the costs.

So much prosperity in Canada, EU, and other US colonies can be unlocked through spending on other than a militarist destiny fueled by Russophobia and Sinophobia propaganda.

Not clear. Even if no fertilizer use. Harvesting, transportation, fermentation are high co2 emmitters. Where fertilizer boosts yields, it may be a minimal contributor to net emissions.

Land owners making ethanol precursors would want high yield crops.

Extremely weird story to get pushed out everywhere. Attacks on kyiv were retaliation for Ukrainian attempted drone terrorism on Moscow the day before.

Zelensky should be the one admonished for escalating stupidly, and usa silence encourages zelensky destruction of Ukraine.

US has had incredible success so far this year in further colonizing Panama, and made big subjugations of Columbia too, in terms of deportations cooperation.

Columbia is key to expanding Pacific/Atlantic trade with a railway if Panama is subjugated to refuse the ideal route. Canal capacity is reduced from drought, and global warming is designed to make more drought in Panama.

US has funded anti-BRI terrorism and sabotage throughout the world. Nowhere as aggressive as Panama. Panama government cooperation is certain to doom its people to permanent poverty.

There is still BS fentanyl tariffs. China only slightly higher than other 2 biggest US trade partners.

I don't expect any energy, agriculture, or boeing purchases by China until fentanyl tariffs removed. Same with Chinese mineral export restrictions.

Objectively, US looks weak to walk back its measures, that were, somehow, supposed to unite world on its side, while getting nothing in return.

Would be hilarious if other nations get liberation day tariffs for 1 month while China doesn't, but if it was stupid the first time, and US is weak, then only bigger losers like UK, agreeing to buy more US stuff seems about right.

Canada relies on foreign auto executives for its auto industry. It already provides huge taxpayer subsidies per job. There is certainly a possible future where all of those foreign loyal companies side with US to destroy Canadian auto production/investment.

  1. China could help save Canadian auto industry by providing motors and batteries for Canadian made EVs. Chinese investment to make goods from Canadian resources in Canada is a path for scale that includes global export potential of autos and other industrial goods to whole globe including China.

  2. If it doesn't make economic sense to make our own tube socks, it doesn't make sense to make overly expensive cars, either. There is a stronger national security argument for apparel, that needs yearly replacements, than solar, batteries, and autos that last 20+ years. More so, when they are not dependent on continuous international fuel supply chains/geopolitics.

Pressure on foreign executives to support Canadian production includes access to Canadian market. The stability of status quo will appeal to most people. But the threat/plan B of cooperation with China is both a path to manufacturing and resource FDI paid by China instead of taxpayers, and better quality of life through better value goods.

US maximalism vs Japan suggests that other trade deals are not anywhere close either. US is also threatening allies on datacenter/AI access, that civility towards China would fix.

Canada is the most braindead auto fight. US has a (small) trade surplus with Canada, and making US cars more expensive with metal tariffs and supply chain turmoil, is not going to make Canadians buy US cars even if they didn't feel attacked.

US exports are 2% of China GDP. It is likely to have higher GDP growth than US this year, while the US has shortages of things it cannot quickly replace. LNG, agriculture, aeroplances are easy to replace for China. Humiliating US has more value, than figuring out what they can boost 2% of GDP on.

Couldn't find bloomberg or Reuters source. Implication is harm to US producers by having oversupply situation, from both return of pork and no new orders.

Brazil and Spain exports to China surged, and look like a structural shift for US industry decline.
