Many horrible possibilities beyond stopping sharing intelligence with Ukraine and making good on the threat to stop selling weapons to Europe.

Will the Trump regime go as far as to help Russia defend its oil refineries from Ukrainian defensive strikes? Abduct or assassinate Zelensky? Fund pro-Russian parties in Ukraine?

The question I asked 24 hours ago remains: How does the Trump regime intend to ramp up its support for Russian aggression and genocide? Will they go as far as to sell weapons to Moscow? Provide intelligence to Moscow about targets in Ukraine?

I cannot comprehend how or why anyone regards Trump's relations with Putin as a mere pursuit of a "business deal" for personal enrichment. The Trump regime is pursuing strategic alignment with Russia. This isn’t about business but about spheres of influence among rogue regimes.

Russians attacked a group of Ukrainian children with an FVP drone. They killed an 11-year-old boy and injured two other children. The Russians SAW who they were attacking. They CHOSE who they attacked. They willfully, knowingly and deliberately attacked children. Genocidal baby killers.

The world can see how ugly Trump's coercion of Ukraine is. If European leaders do not want to go down in history as aiding Trump's coercion of Ukraine's surrender to fascist Russia, they MUST make a historic decision to collectively pursue the strategy of Russia's defeat with Ukraine.

With the Trump regime so flagrantly and openly coercing Ukraine to surrender to Russia, there is absolutely NO excuse for the rest of NATO to play along with Washington as "negotiator". A coalition MUST be formed TODAY to implement a humanitarian military mission to help Ukraine.

It must be said: The US has been coercing Ukraine to surrender to fascist Russia. NATO nations have participated in this shameful coercion of the innocent victim of aggression and genocide. The free world has failed to uphold international law. We sow the seeds of our own demise.

A Russian genocide missile strike on a bus in Kramatorsk has killed at least 30 and injured at least 18 Ukrainian civilians. Russia commits genocide in plain sight, and in plain sight, western nations refuse to stop genocide as legal and moral duty dictate. Ukrainians die.

Bodies of the dead are being endlessly retrieved after Russian genocide strikes on residential buildings. The images of children's limp lifeless bodies are beyond devastating. There's no justice great enough for Russian crimes against Ukraine or for western refusal to stop them.

Canada should not be pursuing close economic or military ties with the US. It'll be used against us, not shield us from harm. It's deeply misguided to pretend we can protect ourselves by ingratiating ourselves or making ourselves "indispensable" to DC. Distance = independence.

The UN Human Rights chief reports a "human rights catastrophe" with 15,280 civilians killed and injured in Ukraine in the first 8 months of 2026 – on average more than 400 every week, and 55% more than in the same period in 2025. Russia kills or injures more than 400 Ukrainians EVERY SINGLE WEEK!!

Even if we do not care about Ukrainians or Ukraine - and we absolutely should - it is in our self-interest to ensure Ukrainian victory, which necessarily entails Russia's military defeat. Peace and security in the rest of Europe depend on it.

I cannot believe I need to say this so often: If Russia prevails against Ukraine, peace will not follow - larger war will, with Ukrainians forcibly fighting for Moscow against the West. Ukrainian victory protects the West from Russian aggression in all-out war.

When experts say things like, "Putin wants to control Donbas and have a pliable Ukraine like Belarus," remember many of those people said that Putin would NEVER go beyond Crimea, that Putin "didn't need Mariupol" and other bad takes detached from obvious reality.

We know that Trump and Putin seek to break up NATO. We should not be naive - this deliberate exclusion of NATO members (nuclear and heavy spenders) is in pursuit of that destructive goal.
