Imagine that, dictatorship-oriented measures being praised by… actual established dictatorships like Russia or China.

Quite the natural step forward for the ‘freest’ nation on the globe, I dare say. Remember, kids - if a dictator praises you, that means you’re doing something right.

Now your personal accounting based on proximity to the matter is something I believe more than mainstream media.

Thank you for your perspective, as that sort of behavior by the border law enforcement is not correct.

That’s if this article is actually corroborated by truth and not subject to bias based on “allegations”, and to me I often question Politico’s thirst for clickbait titles. If so, yeah, Poland should be held accountable like anybody else, but until then I don’t blame them for not wanting to accept people from Belarus, a nation heavily influenced by Russia. Especially in current times.

Has someone listened too much to actual regime propaganda? Because I remain critical of any sources telling me what to think.

Do bother replying if you must for the sake of your pride, but know that I don’t engage in petty arguments or pissing contests.

Yeah, if I squint hard enough it does seem like Poland defending their border makes them the inhuman ones. Kinda in the same way Ukraine started the war by being invaded.

At least that’s what I see with my Putin-colored glasses.

It’s hard turning down people actually looking for a better life, but then again Poland has made their stance on it pretty clear, avoiding the mass migration and refugee issues other countries like Germany have.

Anything other than US, specially from Colombia, which was among the first to be publicly humiliated by Trump.

Inb4 Trump, the supposed “best ally and biggest contributor of Ukraine” throws a rage fit citing all sorts of dumb reasons we unsurprisingly will already have heard from Putin’s mouth.

Yes, that’s excellent. We need our own Google suite. Fingers crossed so that it may come eventually.

Do try. The more you try to split us apart the more we unite against common foes.

We Europeans might bicker a lot and not see eye to eye on some things, but our lands still bear the scars of mankind’s worst moments. We know better and see right past the vain attempts at manipulation.

And yeah, we have some dumbass extreme-right parties in many countries (including mine) being heavily funded and/or encouraged by Russia and the US, just like we saw with Germany’s AfD. But we’re already taking measures against that sort of influence, thankfully.

Yeah… Agreed. One bad and aggressive statement often takes a whole lot of diplomacy to reconcile. And we should know, just look at Trump crashing the US soft power built over decades in a matter of weeks.

Understandable. They do support Canada, but politics are usually a subtle game, and since the orangutan has less tact than caveman they do better avoiding to upset him with open and confrontational support.

Not like he’s prone to notice such subtleties without someone pointing them out to him on a full powerpoint presentation anyway.

That’s what happens when you give a toddler access to the nukes. Being tactful is a must, until unavoidable.

Yup. This is not just about who gets to lead Canada, it’s also about who can protect it against foreign malicious interference. Now more than ever.

It’s time for cohesion, both internally and with allies, not division. When the enemy is at your doorstep trying to get in, you forget petty disagreements (in comparison, at least) and stand together.

Did someone else hear a shout that sounded like “I’m not special!😭”? Down south?

Eh, must’ve been the wind.

What happened to the whole “let them fight each other, we don’t need to be there” speech?

Probably the same that happened to all other “on day one” speeches, I assume.

Heck yeah. Go Carney.

With love from Portugal. 🇵🇹🤝🇨🇦

What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.

It’s hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don’t want to let them make the first move on you.

As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.

Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As did those who didn’t have the choice to begin with.

Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.

Sadly, yes. I mean, Trump knows he’s ‘close’ to his grave and needs to leave some kind of legacy - even if it’s the Hitler kind of one - his narcissistic self just wants to enter them history books as one of the big humans instead of ‘another rich guy’ as a footnote.

Pretty sure either Elon or Vance are already lined up for when the time comes. When Trump leaves the world, and when there’s no longer actual rules preventing them from taking over and ‘fixing’ under martial law what big bad orange wrecked. At least according to them, that is.

No matter how bad what they’re doing seems this is just the preparation stage. Things can become so, so much worse, and the more we let them consolidate power the tougher it’ll be to fight it later.

‘He’s underwater on everything’ - except the one way that matters the most.

Oh? I was under the impression you didn’t need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?

Hm… I propose a fair trade - you might even call it “the best deal ever”. Our eggs, for your cards.

Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn’t do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.
