CBC:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday his government does not want to see an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian war that would pull NATO forces into “direct conflict” with Russia in eastern Europe.
Really Justin. We’re pretending that Canada is some sort of major military power now. A country with no blue water navy or nuclear weapons.
I think we’re letting our imagination run away with us here Mr. Trudeau.
Speaking to reporters at a transit announcement in Mississauga, Ont., Trudeau said Canada and its allies are focused on delivering economic body-blows to the Russian economy as payback for the invasion — and are not going to establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
So Canada could have established a no-fly zone over Ukraine, but Justin wisely decided not to. It’s funny, because I was positively sure that Canada not establishing a no fly zone over Ukraine was Putin’s idea, not Trudeau. But no, I’m sure Canada could basically take on Russia no problemo at any moment in time.
I believe you Justin.
So far, Western countries like Canada have been imposing sanctions and sending lethal aid to help the Ukrainians carry out their own fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his troops.
Sending lethal aid. So apparently we’re sending the Ukrainians candy, but putting razorblades on the inside. It’s either that, or these propagandists don’t understand how to write a simple sentence, and should have written that as “sending military aid.” Fucking idiots.
But I mean it’s the CBC. Small indie propaganda outlet and all that.
“The thing that we have so far avoided, and will continue to need to avoid, is a situation in which NATO’s forces are in direct conflict with Russian soldiers. That would be a level of escalation that is unfortunate,” Trudeau said.
Yeah WW3 would be a bit unfortunate Justin, what with the hundreds of millions of casualties sure to arise.
“We will continue to impose punishing consequences on Putin and his cronies in the Kremlin and on the Russian people until they understand just how terrible a mistake Putin has just made.”
And on the Russian Kitties as well, as I covered earlier today. Although I do like how Trudeau explicitly makes it about the Russian People, just in case anybody was wondering if this wasn’t more Russophobia from our (((Privileged Class))).
At a lengthy press conference with reporters in Kyiv on Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pleaded with NATO countries to establish a no-fly zone — or to at least send aircraft that could be used by Ukrainian fighter pilots.
“I hope the sky will be shut down. If you don’t have strength and courage to do that, then give me the planes. Wouldn’t that be fair?” Zelensky said.
“I say every day, if you cannot shut the sky now, then give us the timeline when you will do it. If you now cannot provide the timeline, tell us how many people have to die?”
Oh FFS. I wrote this analysis months ago, and I wrote again on the very first day of this war. The military bullshit they’re doing right now is so stupid it makes my head hurt. Planes do not have infinite range. They must be operated out of well built and pristine airbases. Not all planes, just the princesses that NATO countries decide to build, Sweden being, weirdly enough, the only exception.
On Day 1 of this war, Russia destroyed every airbase that we even somewhat relevant. The combat range for most fighters is about 500km. In contrast, the range of the Russian 9K720 Short Range Ballistic Missiles( SRBM) that they’ve already launched hundreds of in this war, is also about 500km. In other words, even if there were no Russian fighters to speak of, you can’t just magically LARP like your air force is allowed to operate from some airbases, as if you’ve got some futuristic shielding technology that enables you to avoid having them destroyed on the ground. This exact things already happened to Ukraine just a few weeks ago. Which is why this jew Zelensky needs more planes in the first place.
Luckily, the tenor of this LARPfest appears to have changed. They’re coping hard about sanctions being somehow more effective than the Russian Army.
Let them believe that. I’m just happy our evil Privileged Class isn’t upgrading this regional conflict to WW3, yet.
