It's not the richest language (en), but it likely the most flexible.

I was going to comain until I realized that the fprmat is the one that I prefer.

Ironic response. Response said that the wrong word was used, but personally point was not addressed.

Except the organization in question says that they are shutting down because they can't. 95% of ppl from Hong Kong don't want $emocratic politics?

I did not expect that to be true.

What's left to tarrif with the Russians?

Things were different in the periphral nations, than in the center. Those who read your comments with heritage from the peripheral will understand you, and the others will not.

They want the Baltics, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, all to be like Hungary, or preferably like Belarus - slave/puppet authoritarian regimes. Finland too, really, but I think that the Finns scare them.

It's a slippery slope fallacy to suggest that supporting Ukraine means that they will be enlisted and sent to the front lines.

What does it mean "got a line"?

This thread kind of disproved itself

This is a hopeful expression,but it's written from a dreamers perspective.

Canadian civilians don't know what this means. Canadians don't have a culture of resistance, there is only a dream that rights and values are immutable.

Compare that to the Finnish, or to the Baltics. Ask a Finn what they will do when the Russians come, and you will get a detailed response, with both vigor and realism. Balts will either stand or falter, but with a true understanding of the reality of their situation. Those people have been defending their sovereignty for decades - like the Ukrainians.

I'd love to see the Canucks resist, like I'd l9ve to see the Yanks hold ... but they haven't even seen the examples of Belarus and Hungary- they don't even u.dersrand what they are fighting.

In a fight, the Americans will roll in and take Toronto, and Montreal, they'll bomb a few bases, they'll blockade Victoria and Vancouver and the block the passes, then they'll blockade the Eastern shipping lanes. The prairies will cheer, poorly treated migrants will shrug, sofa warriors will fizzle ... them what is left? US supply routes will be stable and simple, and they'll attack without risk. What can guerilla tactics do in that scenario?
