Seizing on how? This smells like alarmist bullshit to fuel defense arguments for the USA to make more demands like needing to take Greenland and more defense spending from Canada.
Russia is busy twisting the US’ arm on Ukraine negotiations and China is more interested in filling the gap left by the USA meltdown as a power broker in the global stage, their threat is more like election interference than military. Our biggest territorial threat right now is the fucking USA, the country that half the population might eat up this headline as just cause for threatening allies sovereignty.
The Russian leader has backed Mr Trump’s annexation of Greenland, implying the president’s dreams of Arctic expansion are a mirror of his own claims on Ukraine. Moscow could soon work with Washington on joint projects in the region, said his aides, raising the prospect of a great power carve-up.
This is the fucking threat, and it comes from the other border, not the Arctic. Canada might be the next Poland if that orange bastard continues this bizarre trend. Or maybe just like Ukraine…
Your comment reminds me of something I was thinking this morning, which is that the US is becoming a lot like Russia. Military power. Keen to invade other countries and flout international law. Oligarchs run everything. Everyday people becoming poorer and less powerful. Country is increasingly detested by other nations and their populaces
While you are repeating what you read, it is disinformation towards Russia. Putin is hated by west because he reigned in oligarchy. He is defending nation from NATO/US proxy war with a highly paid volunteer army that has resulted in high wages everywhere in Russia. The west’s failed war directly made its people poorer, and stolen from, as yet another failed perpetual war project to sustain weapons and oil profits. The US has always been the US. We can only hope Canada defends itself as well as Russia has.
I hate Putin for his illegal invasion of Ukraine and all the suffering that has caused
(edit: and his very anti-LGBT+ policies. There may be more I should hate him for, but I’m not that informed. My main point is that I can articulate reasonable and rational hatred for Putin without invoking propaganda or conspiracy theories)
very anti-LGBT+ policies
Not a crime to be/do gay in Russia. They could be more progressive in allowing gay marriage. Pride parades and activism is illegal, but that is just being insufficiently pro gay to your liking. Path to getting gay marriage legal in Russia, is a matter of asking it as a friend. Same with global warming. The big falsehood promoting the war is that Russia is not defending itself and (the right) Ukrainians from provocation and propaganda of the reverse.
I felt there was some value in not blocking you to see your geopolitical posts. I thought there was like 1 interesting idea in there for every 10 ones of (very) questionable veracity. But I draw the line at normalizing hate. Idk if you’re
a moron, or you just play one(edit for less ableism: stupid or just pretend to be) on social media; ie, do you produce misinformation or disinformation?For those that want to assess for themselves the level of anti-LGBTQ+ in Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Russia
Your wikilink says exactly what I did. US government is moving towards Russian government attitude. That general culture is not tolerant is not your cue to force Islamic countries to convince their women of lipstick and miniskirts attire. Freedom is awesome, but our only purpose for trying to infect liberalism in foreign countries is as a vector for CIA sponsored revolution and destruction of those countries. A genuine path for gay marriage equality in Russia is to renounce war on it, and advocating it for the love of Russians. That is the polar opposite of your hatred first, reasons 2nd, support for diminishing Russia.
The threat is from Russia and the USA simultaneously, and it will not be surprising if they cooperate in an attack on Canada.
Smells like propaganda

Fuck you traitor
Talking about the writer of this article, not necessarily op
Than why the down votes? I was expecting a hot take made by OP but all I could find was Yahoo.
But yeah. Fuck Yahoo.
Ironically the Canadian government used to train the Chinese military on winter survival as recently as 2018.
Go ahead and read about it on the official government website.
Can’t trust any of them. They’re up to something and you’re paying for it.
