🇨🇦 Army (armour, 25 yrs, 4 x tours, injured & medically retired), MA Strategic Studies, hate partisan politics. Defence, natl security, Ukraine & intl affairs. NAFO Fella. Sweary. My serious commentary is on Substack: https://blackcloudsix.substack.com

On other social media, I used to get shouted at regularly - usually by people from Texas or Arizona - to keep my nose out of American politics. There is no American politics any more. It’s all world politics.

Americans lecturing Canada for being “too nationalist” or overreacting are a bit rich. Canada has been threatened with annexation, threatened with the destruction of our economy, & defamed & subjected to massive disinformation from the US right. What did you expect?

Blah, blah, blah… More airstrikes that will accomplish nothing. And what of the hundreds, if not thousands, of Iranian *civilians* killed in the war of choice. US targeting has been brutally bad, egged on by Hegseth’s idiotic view of what modern combat entails.

Trump: "Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over! This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The excess and commercialization of this World Cup is distinctly, of course, American. It’s also reminding me why I shrink inside when I hear people defend capitalism. So much indulgence. So unnecessary.
