None of our electoral choices have a practicality of Canadian survivability through deprogramming Canadians from their US programmed hatreds. Multipolarism is not choosing submission to a new (unipolar) dictator.
US programming for war on Russia and China, amplified by all Canadian media/parties has been very successful. The US's promised destruction of Canada has very little pushback from Americans. The Canadian political consensus of closer ties to Europe only works if Europe(+Canada) has closer ties with China. Otherwise, Europe will choose to suck up to US's larger market instead of Canada, and in colonial sycophancy olympics, promising the US to help screw Canada over is path to get tariff exemptions. Europeans have same CIA programming that we do. A completely mental self destructive attitude towards Russia.
As Canadians, we have the exclusive choice of protecting our sovereignty and prosperity or remaining programmed into US empire's warmongering enemy manufacturing.
Oligarchs have the most money, and I like money, fellow democrat downvoters.
Peace is puppetry. Pro nato nazi support, and tyrannical fascist diminishment of own citizens and world is love.
Go fuck your CIA nazi mother.
If the parents are being deported anyway, why don’t they let their children go with them?
Key part missing from article is what happened to their parents. Presumably, if prosecution is honest, the kids were in fact not born here, and so are not citizens by birthright. Cruelty and unfairness as a point, does not make facts relevant. Were parents abducted without opportunity to take their children? If no due process, or even DOJ intervention in cases, then its not the jack booted thug ordered to send a parent to a death camp, that will pause the order to go pick up the kids from school, not that the parents would want kids in the death camp.
Story is horrible. Maybe the answer to what happened to parents would make it seem less horrible on US fascism angle. Maybe the fascism is so intense that no one is told what happened to the parents.
Are any reptiles vegetarian? Other than turtles? Can they eat mushrooms?
Judge: I will help you since you have no lawyer.
4 year old girl: No habla Engles
following translated:
Judge: Where were you born?
girl: I don't remember. I was too young.
Judge: If you show me a US birth certificate or SS ID card, I can help you not be deported.
girl: uhhh... what? what is words?
Tanks were sent in 1956 to crush the Hungarian Revolution and 1968 to crush the Prague Spring, and of course in 1979 to invade Afghanistan, triggering a 10-year war.
I don't know the context of the first 2, but Afghanistan was not invaded. Russia assisted a newly elected (presumably) communist government against uprising.
Yeltsin seized the opportunity during the Russian constitutional crisis of 1993 and ordered tanks to fire at the Supreme Soviet, overhthrowing the constitutional order and bestowing himself powers like a monarch, which he later gave to Putin, who entrenched himself twice as deep.
Don't like this account of history. Yeltsin was a CIA puppet responsible for rise of Russian oligarchy with western financing. I also do not know the specifics of "fire at Supreme Soviet", but by the name some uppitiness at his extreme corruption would have been cause. Putin is reformist that reigned in corruption and oligarchy. Propaganda blames him as being same as Yeltsin, but the complete shift of western narrative of "Russia is progressing under Yeltsin" changed because Putin isn't open to same corruption.
The subsequent turning of Georgia into a Russian vassal state under the supervision of Putin’s allies was a slow-motion coup in favour of the Kremlin (which is finished by now) and likely encouraged Putin.
Pre 2008, you could call Georgia a Russian vassal state the same way Canada is a US vassal state. These countries need to be friendly with more powerful neighbour for trade, and Canadians and Georgians liking their neighbour/people is a normal peaceful attitude. When US/CIA installed Ukrainian nazi puppet forces secessionist destabilization movements immediately after his power is imposed, that is demonic piece of shit CIA behaviour, as is blaming Russia for intervening to stabilize the country and protect its ethnic minority. US/NATO complaining in last election that "true democracy must result in their NGOs rigging election so that the outcome is yet another war on Russia" in Georgia is some more demonic NAFO nazi piece of shit behaviour.
The escalation of the Euromaidan protest into a revolution was likely triggered by the beatdown which president Yanukovich ordered.
Narrative that shooting of protesters was a black flag nazi operation blamed on Yanukovich is the more likely reality.
Putin however used the opportunity to annex Crimea (surprisingly, this was not bloody) and tried to annex Donetsk and Lugansk (which turned bloody really fast). Subsequently, a contingent of about 30…40 000 Russian soldiers held parts of those oblasts against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while superficially pretending to be rebel separatists.
Nazi puppets, again installed by CIA/US coup, supporting Odessa massacre, openly hating Russian minority was repeat of Georgia playbook. Crimea is more Russian than Donbas. Total enthusiasm for rejoining Russia (Krushev gift in 1957). Donbas only wanted autonomy, and Russia assisted against Nazi paramilitary ethnic cleansing operations. Russia spent 8 years pursuing peaceful resolution process through Minsk accords, which NAZI/CIA/NATO subhuman filth admit was a dishonest process to give time for Ukraine to provoke a full war.
As for Belarus, when Lukashenka falsified the elections for what was probably the seventh time, mass protest finally started. He relied on Putin’s assistance to beat and imprison thousands of people.
Don't really know details, but democracy is only valid when CIA wins is the nature of NAFO subhuman demonism. CIA doesn't invest in queer/feminist rights/supremacism for the goodness of humanity/people. It is only a trojan horse for neocon demonism and warmongering.
From the viewpoint an anarchist
Anarchism is possible as an improvement during peace and prosperity/civil satisfaction. Disempowerment of the state (loosely comparable to constructive anarchism. Destructive anarchism is the temporary power vacuum of collapse when destructive anarchists can lie in wait to impose their new supremacism) becomes possible. The state is always very adept in leveraging misery, so that the champions of the miserable can promise supremacism for the miserable. Keeping you miserable is a path to forcing you to keep faith in the champions of your future supremacism. Prioritizing warmongering is easy, and human sustainability/prosperity has no chance of competing against such evil, and the necessity to protect from demonic warmongering also means denying dissent, if not pluralism, if these are just CIA vectors for destroying your society. Blaming the defensive necessity instead of the warmongering demonism for Empire's rule over the world is misplaced. Defense from collapse will always be prioritized, as in retrospect, the Paris Commune should have put more resources/restrictions to protect itself.
Anarchism/power hierarchy minimization is humanist. Humanism is impossible when US empire is tolerated, and its desperation last gasp domination agenda. US/CIA promoting progress in your nation is just a trojan horse for demonic puppet that will diminish US enemies, hopefully killing you all in the process.
China is definitely winning the posturing game, and Trump saying "trade negotiators met today, but cannot be named" is yet another of his obvious lies.
China having meetings with Japan, while Japan's meetings with US don't go anywhere, because Trump is only interested in complaints instead of asking anything specific and reasonable, is simply a continuation of the original reason reciprocal tariffs were suspended for 90 days: Chinese trade and diplomacy exploded in just a few days.
Cambridge Analytica is usual oligarchy rulership service. Nothing to do with Russia. The divisiveness algorithm would exist in Fox news and facebook without any Russian contribution, but if Russian troll farms are cheap labour, the GOP hiring them is not Putin/Surkov's responsibility to stop.
OP, is about NATO demonic diminishment of Russia. US psyops that normalize this demonism is the specific hallucination that must deny the reality of the Russian narrative on Ukraine war.
"values" is the key programming point. A key problem with democracy is that divisive speech and disinformation are free too, and oligarchism and CIA evil funds much more lies than the humanist truth that democracy was supposed to attain. Our elections are hateful identity based on preventing the opposition shit form winning. Proof that our values are empty CIA sycophancy is that "our values" say that the rightful election winner in Venezuela is a narco traficker who will give away the country's oil industry to US companies.
Values of pluralism and freedom are awesome. Values supremacism as a basis for US empire warmongering support is not any real humanist value you should have any pride in. You either have values or you are a piece of shit for provoking/supporting a Ukraine proxy war to diminish Russia.
True values are the ones that are best for our society. We can recommend gay marriage for Russia and human/climate sustainability assistance, and the right motivation to do so is to make world/Russia happier. Values supremacism on the other hand is just an excuse for hate. Your programming for hate simply can't be deprogrammed by facts and metrics on improvement towards your/our values/humanism. Your programmers will never let you see their side.
I should also note that there is a wide (divisive) gap between CPC and LPC values, that has gotten wider with social media algorithms. Maybe our only shared values is that we will thank the CIA for praising/blessing whatever election outcome we get. A world order where the only governments we praise are CIA blessed democracies where all parties that are allowed to present a chance are forever in favour of US led military alliances/colonization should be a red flag on what our values actually are.
There are 2 nazi apartheid ethnostates in the world that the CIA-aligned praises as great democracies. The identity of values supremacism is never threatened by the shift/emptiness and moral bankruptcy of a lack in values. The identity is all that matters/remains.
