Yes, that report is truly strange as it states everything so obviously and concisely, the language is incredibly easy to read and understand, and yet the only thing the government is actually concerned with was civil unrest. So much so that they might even be hardening our military because of it. Although, that is just a theory.

They did put out a report that said that, and it was presented to the government. I don’t know why I can’t find it but I remember reading it. It could’ve been a different organization as well. I think there was a post on Lemmygrad about it. They’re either beefing up the military to fight domestically or send our asses overseas, regardless it’s not looking good.

Is this the report you’re thinking of? Because it was made by Policy Horizons and you made a post about it a while ago:

The population is so divided about what it wants, or what it thinks it wants, it can’t process the strategic realities we’re dealing with right now.

I think this quote illustrates the Canadian populations’ general feelings on mobilization. They seem frustrated that the citizenry is not on the same page as the government. I’m certain if a national poll was done most people would say they don’t want to go to war.

Canada wants to go back to how its military behaved before the Geneva convention.

Like, what “red tape” are they even talking about? I honestly don’t think it’s cool for them to complain about constraints in the military industry.

We’re drowning in red tape. The level of regulation stifles innovation. It stifles creativity," Maloney said in reference to the federal government’s overall handling of industry.

An incredibly bleak quote, oh my god…

They couldn’t get my girl Chappell Roan!

The political logic behind green-lighting deep strikes into Russia is also obscure. There is little reason for optimism that such attacks would build pressure on Putin to end the war or drive him to the negotiating table, but there is good reason for concern that they will amplify his claims that Russia is fighting NATO, not the Ukrainian people. There are many examples in history of large-scale bombing campaigns’ galvanizing public resistance, and so far that has proved true with Russia’s own strikes on Ukraine, which have stoked Ukrainian patriotism and anti-Russian attitudes.

According to an interview with Zelensky, he wants to deploy these weapons just to make Russian life harder so the people revolt against Putin. The problem with that is what is stated in the above quote, if Ukrainian nationalism has been hardened due to the strikes within Ukraine, then the same can be said for the Russian people. If Ukraine did send missiles into Russia I wouldn’t be surprised if the people doubled down harder in their support.

I love the double standard of NATO being able to freely supply Ukraine with weapons and inteligência, but when Iran gives Russia missiles suddenly it’s a problem. Cool. I’d rather not have my death certificate prematurely signed…

what a coincidence that at the same time that they give an opinion in Mexico the through the embassy the Canadians do the same. Which is embarrassing, with all due respect to the Canadian government. They seem like an associated state. Together.

Oh my god? Absolutely called Canada out on their bullshit lmao

“Associated state” damn that must sting.

Canada and the US should mind their own damn business, what the hell does Mexico having elected judges matter to them?

This is just Mr. Beast with Squid Game

My dreams stay between me and myself, thank you very much. I don’t want some tech company knowing which fictional character I’m kissing lol

Like Monster House

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, promised on Wednesday that there would be no talks between the two countries until Ukraine is completely defeated.

“The empty chatter of intermediaries that no one had appointed about the wonderful peace is over,” he said on Telegram. “There will be no more negotiations until the complete defeat of the enemy.”

So this sucks. Ukraine just shot itself in the foot really badly and no one in the west cares. They’d rather see Ukraine destroy itself in the pursuit of destroying Russia rather than surviving the war with realistic peace negotiations. Ukraine was so damn close but now I don’t think it’s possible. Unless what Medvedev says doesn’t affect anything and is just all talk.

I also didn’t know that India was getting involved in fostering peace but we’ll see how that goes. The article has not said anything about how China is thinking of handling this considering they were on the peace talks train since the beginning, I can’t imagine they’re too thrilled about this development…

I had to look up who that was lol and I fear you’re probably right

It’s annoying as a university student as well because we are always lectured heavily on writing directly, not colourfully. We have to state the information outright and a penalized for flowery prose. So seeing this type of writing published just makes me frustrated. They think it adds to the immersion, but it actually does the opposite. I’m here to read an article, not Lord of the Rings. I just want the information, not a short story. It actually makes the article harder to read and get through when it’s focused on “world building” rather than the situation at hand. I wonder if it has to do with the journalists wanting to spin an inspiration narrative about Ukraine, to keep up public support.

The order to move crackled over the radios at dawn on August 6th.

I really do hate it when articles try to be novels, it really just takes me out of it.

Ah, so they fucked themselves over. Nothing new but still disappointing.

I need to know who the 159 are 😩
