Is it just me or is this article a bit too alarmist? It reads as if some catastrophe occurred but in reality nuclear production is still at 80% of what it used to be.

Maybe don’t let them fall into disrepair by severe underfunding when they create over half of your electricity.

ScoMo was super-incompetent on the sub thing. On lots of other things too. He's a bit of a walking travesty.

But what does the mayor of Timbuktu have to say?

Putin's in particular

I suspect security concerns with our ties with China are partly behind our exclusion, although I'm not sure nuclear powered submarines would be the best choice for Canada in any case. The UK gets a pass for their Russian oligarch ties because that's just money and government influence.

Tit for tat book burning . So middle ages .

It is Austrailia and France trying to grow closer to NATO. Russia is surprsingly good at using spies and probably knew this was comming so there is little need for secrecy.

Ukraine will need regular shells as since the line is largely static Russia (a country famous for its use of arty) is in its element. It can't advance well but can make life hell. If Ukraine wants to win the arty war and go on the offensive it will need the shells to sustain a long term bombardment. Arty shells dry up really quick when you use them for long periods of time, for example the American's fired 1.2 million of them in the Ardenes offensive.

You think India's conflict with China is comparable to US/UK border disputes? Isn't a common Indian complaint that people don't take India's border skirmishes seriously enough?

The problem is Afghanistan’s population has about doubled in the last 20 years.

Seems like this

>Canadian political leadership have openly stated they have no desire to join AUKUS, even though their military leadership is screaming for it.

Is directly opposed by this

>US will not allow Canada to share nuclear submarine designs until it accepts the NW Passage as an international strait, same as Malacca or Hormuz

The Straits of Hormuz and Malacca are of course irrelevant here, since the shortest (desired) routes of the Northwest Passage take it through exclusively Canadian waters rather than waters shared by two nations. Comparisons to the Bosphorus and the Dardennelles straits are more appropriate.

Couldn't each of the NATO members (except Turkey) make mutual defense agreements with Sweden, that would make it a de facto member of NATO, without Turkey's approval?

Highly recommend watching Perun on YouTube, he does very thorough videos on various aspects of the Russia/Ukraine war and focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and seems to do a good job of being unbiased to either side when it comes to purely analysis of what is going on

Glad he's only slammed them; he could've bashed or blasted them!

Russian intelligence advised against the invasion even during the hearing for it itself, Putin notably said "speak clearly" to the FSB head to kick him in line and say the invasion will be over quickly.

The Russian system is weird, there's a reason they're doing horribly.

Or the world of government in general, people will always find a way around a law no matter how well that law is enforced.

It's harder to do in some cases, but where there's a will there's a way.

As a Brazilian, I'd take that tbh. Trump won't win any elections here and Bolsonaro won't win any elections there

Every law and action humans make is hypocritical so this kind of demonstration is pointless. The demonstration itself is hypocritical.

Indigenous peoples being murdered by the illegal miners and deforestors that he supported, and 700k covid deaths, a lot of which are direct consequences of his covid denial ("it's just a flu"), refusal to buy vaccines in time ("the hurry for a vaccine isn't justified" or "the covid vaccine might give you AIDS") and outright spreading of misinformation on fake medicines ("I took chloroquine when I had covid and recovered just fine")

Don Corleone: "It's just business, nothing personal."

International collection it would seem. Wonder if we have a place on the mantle for Putin?

Someone remind me again how we treat those with expired visa? Or over stay their time with certain visas? Or those folks that wanted people seeking asylum to wait in Mexico while pending approval? Yall sure quiet about all this.
