Remember, paying much more for energy and the resulting damage to the economy is your duty as a loyal citizen of Ukraine.

“What? you say you are Canadian or American? Well then shut up and open your wallet. We are sanctioning Russia so you have to suffer for the good of Davos and DC.”

Canada is also being investigated for training up militias in several countries who subsequently committed war crimes...Ukraine included.

Javelins can be sent “Next Day” if there is competence involved and the Ukrainians are told they are coming.

I am not sure how much training to use them is needed, but, ex-Pres. Poroshenko’s street militia battalion apparently was able to master ‘em well enough, rather quickly.

Idiocy abounds...

One dictator led country, sending arms to another dictator led country, being attacked by yet another dictator led country. Wake me up from this nightmare.
