It was not an energy ceasefire. It was a gift to Putin. A White House official told Axios that, as Trump understands it, the term means only that Russia and Ukraine stop attacking each other's oil refineries—and that this is what Washington expects Ukraine to do. Ukraine has one refinery, while Russia has 38, of which 21 have been targeted by Ukrainian drones.

Canadian gov/Canadian military are working with/for U.S.

China hasn't done a fucking thing to us. Russia/Ukraine war needs diplomacy not clumsy kabuki theatre to get the masses on board the imperialism train.

    It's funny how Canadians hyper focus on the status of Ukrainian land sovereignty, but couldn't give two shits about the rights of south Americans or Africans living under the boot of Canadian mining interests, or even for the land or resource sovereignty of Canadian or Australian indigenous peoples.

    Russia is welcome to diplomatically leave Ukraine whenever the fuck they want.

    NATO has completely surrounded Russia, North Korea and China with Nukes and proxies.

    The west has almost completely abandoned international law.

    Russia has zero incentive to end this attrition war. North Korea and China have zero incentive to stop supporting it.

    If they did, there is every indication to them that Ukraine would be another nuclear armed NATO proxy.
