Canada is donating billions like others free world countries, and it could probably donate mcuh more if needed.
Anyway the "glory to urine" very classy move reminds me a french expression: "Ne pas pisser contre le vent"

I pass this everyday on my way to work- this billboard of the flag is not there and not true. That’s 42nd st and 8th Ave in my city…


For everyone else- regarding China and Russia…my dad would say- why do grandparents and grandchildren get along? They are former enemies with a person who has the same current enemy. All this disfunction has brought China and Russia closer? Why? They’re tired of getting pushed and bossed around. America is a place where it does that to people.

Blatantly spreading propaganda to push people to fight each others on the street or to vote far right isn't a sign of peace or even self-defense.

You mean other parts of the US empire?

Canada can and will donate more but the money would be better spent elsewhere. Canadian companies will probably make more money off of their investments in Ukraine than the Canadian government has spent on it so far but the problem is that none of that money will be put towards solving the domestic issues Canada is experiencing like rising homelessness, violence, infrastructure, immigration etc etc.

Don't piss into the wind is an expression used in English as well, good one



I love this comparison lol

Forget my comments about this gross urine misinformation; I have been severely triggered.

Yes, it's a long-term calculation; I see people arguing about their taxes vs Ukraine's assistance while the output is a net positive in the middle run for North America.
In the same way, it's possible that at some point Russia will join the European economic block. Let's not forget Germany did it seven years after World War II with the 1952 coal and steel agreement.

The dices are rolling.

You’re a good guy Dizzy

what’s your deal? You are very smart and have your own opinion…it’s good…why do you always not agree? Like no matter if I say something that you align with, you just go with a counter?

Common, even people with different views can show each other respect! My best to you! As a close friend of mine says- I wish you good health

How is it a net positive for Canada? We are dumping money we don't have into a war on the other side of the world

My city for example has never had a homeless problem, there were maybe a few around town who were just old people with mental issues or alcoholics/drug addicts but they were very rare and didn't cause problems.

Since we started funding this war, there are are now multiple government run homeless encampments. There is a public park a few blocks away from me in the center of town and it now has 30 people there living in tents. This isn't just my city, it is happening all over Canada. Grocery bills and rent have both skyrocketed. Some of this is attributable to COVID lockdowns but those have been over for awhile and things have gotten steadily worse.

How much should Canadians sacrifice for a war on the other side of the world that has nothing to do with them, apart from all the money we spent preparing Ukraine before it even started? We have sent billions in aid, arms and support/training staff

So what, we just do this forever or until Russia collapses?



Depends on the day lol

It is interesting hearing your perspective on things as a Russian who has lived in the US for awhile

Have you experienced any issues since the war started? People being rude, that sort of thing

Because he has issues in real life. He probably glue himself to MSM and Social Media while consuming copious amount of Gatorade. He has a habit of virtue signalling believing his opinions are supreme as compared to others.

And if at any point your opinion differs from him he will start being snarky to you. And he will proceed to get more brazen over time. Once you get triggered and retort and stand up to him.
He will complain to mods and report you and hope you get a 10% warn which he will proceed to laugh behind his screen.

He gets high when he thinks he trigger people.

Furthermore he used to put his status as a female and changed it.

All you need to do is to look back at maybe the first 500 to 600 pages of this Ukraine / Russia thread and you will know what I mean.

Yea I love this thread…I really enjoy everyone’s take and it’s good that we’re all talking. I’ll speak with you more about your job- I read your reply and Malopox’s…just didn’t wanna keep talking about whiskey here.



I’ve experienced issues my whole life. For a long time I even went by a different name up until high school (grade 9)…and I experienced crap in HS as well, from teachers nonetheless. But I learned to tune out bullshit and stick to facts. Anywhere at anytime people will give you crap- just get thicker skin.

I don’t agree with Putin and his actions but he is a nationalist. I love America but I was born in Russia and I love Russia- have so many fond memories and experience there too. I consider myself an American Russian. What connects me, I’m also a nationalist.

I can’t speak for the Russian side- I love them but I haven’t spent the majority of my life there. So, I love America- why? It’s home, they’re so many good people and good people in all places- just have to live life and tune out the bullshit.

My mother said, worst thing about this war is people killing people…let alone 2 countries who have such a history. It sucks. America? It lost its identity in my eyes- and worse of all, people with bad compasses are prevailing under/inside the current chaos.
