It isn’t just Justin that Putin is testing.
It is by no coincidence — more by design — that the expansionist Putin regime announced plans Thursday for three new military bases in the Arctic.

Again I ask…..and this is a surprise because????? Russia encompasses 76% of the Arctic. Why wouldn’t they want to protect the homeland?
His father was a coward who stood by and did nothing about the Nazis. In his role as a reserve officer, he was so useless the army deemed him a hindrance and punted him. Justin is a coward because he inherited it.
Justine inherited his cowardice from a rolling stone? Well. I guess it makes sense.
As discussed in a John Schindler post Kate linked to a while back; Putin is an aggressive and unscrupulous improviser that coddled and self absorbed narcissists like Obama simply don’t understand.
With Baby Trudeau, who could actually be lower voltage than Obama, it’s even worse. For Putin manipulating Trudeau would be like toying with a small child.
Protect their homeland from who? The expansionist Canadians? The war mongering Norwegians?
This will get those idiots from Greenpeace upset will they send their garage scows Arctic Sunrise or Rainbow Warrior II? to oppse it like these Greenpeace jerks are always doing against oil rigs? Just a few years ago in Moscow a Greenpeace idiot dressed as this dumb looking trash can was arrested
Just more Russian education for lefties, this is what “No Borders” looks like in the real world.
Harper should BLOCK the RUSSIAN BASTARD PUTIN IN CANADA’S NORTH ..NOW while he still has the legal Canadian power.
The new guy with the “nice hair” is a shit pants “NOVICE” on the world stage!
HARPER SHOULD PLANT NORTHERN FLAGS……. TODAY!
The Natural Governing Party is back, and they tend to think the moral high ground is found on the sidelines.
Is there a cartoonist out there who could draw a cartoon of Putin flashing Trulander with the caption “This is how big a Mig 21 is” and another one of Putin in hockey gear having fired a puck into Trulander’s mouth?
You make a great point, Joe.
If Prime Minister Harper does this, he would define in sharp contrast the foreign policy difference that would never be more obvious.
Then when the snowboarder/teacher “ummms” his way through his boring explanation of why he spoke right to Putin’s face, we can raise funds for the first of many billboards that have PM Harper’s picture on it.
Those billboards will say, “Miss Me Yet?”.
Justin will whine about Climate Change and threaten Putin with being on the wrong side of history.
These days most of the Canadian anti-oil NGOs are too busy running Rachel Notley’s government to worry about the Russians.
Most of us would consider that good policy.
However, I believe the same people that voted for Justine would scream about Harper’s angry, antagonistic, cold hearted war-mongering ways. They will want the Care Bear elect to ‘sit and talk’ with Putin, try to figure out why he is acting that way.
Not to worry. The UN will protect Canadians.
It is a good era to be the leader of Russia, no Western nation has a real leader, just “stars” and bureaucrats.
It’s been obvious that if either Liberal or Dippers took power federally Putin would move on the Arctic, he plainly demonstrated that intent on several occasions.
Now there is no one in Canada or the USA that will respond with anything more than negotiation. Who will be Canada’s Ambassador to Russia? Maybe we can borrow John Kerry as he’s been SO good at negotiating with difficult Nations and Leaders.
“Protect their homeland from who?”

Yes….and we need to encourage Greenpeace to show up and confront them on the ice. Show them what you are made of and do not back down.
T he gov’t should subsidize their trip.
We need a groundswell of people contacting
Sid Viscous, our new PM, in that regard.
Most of the Canadian anti-oil, anti-pipeline NGOs are funded by US “environmental” organizations that are fronts for Saudi and Russian oil interests that want to keep Cdn crude out of what they see as their markets.
The real question is where Putin is getting all the money to finance these expansionist ventures. With the steep drop in oil prices, there’s not much oil money to go around there any more, and his wars in the Crimea, Ukraine and now Syria are proving to be ruinously expensive.
Seems to me Putin has enough to do wiping out ISIS, something the chickens**t North American so-called leaders only pretended to do.
Thanks, Vlad.
Now, back to you Chicken Littles.
Jeezus Justinklin, here I thought you would demo some keyboard Karate, or is it too early to have downed your sixpak of courage????
And as to JustIn, he’s Valds new mop
Do you honestly believe that Putin cannot, in a proverbial manner, chew gum and walk at the same time?
Putin’s resources are not limitless but kicking zero and jr around isn’t costing him anything and in fact is political capital back home.
The Russians are very good at making mischief. They play chess while their opponents play checkers.
From them selves. Hell. Even Liechtenstein know how to protect themselves. Go away, troll.
russians are a nation of slaves who will accept any humiliation and will eagerly lick the boot of their dictator as long as he promises he will use them subjugate their neighbors. Pootin need not worry about money. russian slaves will always work for vodka, a promise of an opportunity to rape and delusions of grandeur.

“Seems to me Putin has enough to do wiping out ISIS,”
Ugh how much ISIS has he wipped out so far?
Well it is certainly good that just 10 days ago Canadas media reported that Justin Trudeau would tell off ‘bully’ Vladimir Putin ‘directly to his face’ if he becomes prime minister.
I guess Putin doesn’t read Canadian media.

The Sun piece is delusional!!!! It is full of lies and half-truths.
As the wags have been saying online, “why does Russia keep putting their landmass so close to all of our bases?
Much more in one day than the pretend missions Obama and NATO ran in a month.
Any other questions?
Heh I called this one on election night. Surprise, surprise.

Oh so you are immediately falling on the patented russian “others are bad too argument?” How predictable.
“Any other questions?”
Please point to any evidence that russian strikes in Syria had any impact on degrading ISIS capability? So far evidence suggests that they were targeting anyone but ISIS.
… as if surrounding the rabid whore of nations otherwise known as Pootinistan was bad thing?
Well, I guess all those military bases Harper built during his majority will be a good deterrent for Russia.
Good bye to the north pole and to Santa Claus.
Putin is scoring political capital here as well.
One doesn’t have to agree with what he is doing, but, I fully respect his gamesmanship, his stoic positioning, and defence of his country, unlike the Zero and Zoolander, who don’t have a clue what they are dealing with.
“Who will be Canada’s Ambassador to Russia? ”
Rick Mercer?
Brent Butt?
Neil Young?
Naomi Klein?
Donald Sutherland?
You really should check out the Charlie Rose interview with Vlad. If you think that boy is bluffing you have never played poker. He has put his cards on the table and said look: “if you do not cease and desist we are going to go public.”

What gave you an idea that I think he is bluffing. All the more reason to do max harm to russia, russians and russian interests on every front. There is no coexist with the siberian beasts anymore than there is mooselimbs.
Why would they concentrate on ISIS? In Syria, the vast majority of rebel-controlled land isn’t ISIS, it’s rebel jihadists.
Russia will just chase ISIS into Iraq, where it belongs.
Win/Win for Russia.
Might as well start learning how to speak Russian…

“Why would they concentrate on ISIS? In Syria,”
I don’t know, ask Koni he/she/it claimed that Pootin will wipe out ISIS.
“the vast majority of rebel-controlled land isn’t ISIS, it’s rebel jihadists.”
In other words the same people that Assad let out of jails when the revolution started, He did that knowing that they will dominate the saner fractions and then useful idiots in the west will applaud him. They will applaud him despite his long established history of supporting jihadists like Hezbollah.
“Russia will just chase ISIS into Iraq, where it belongs. Win/Win for Russia.”
Ugh sure, let me know when that happens.
For a libertarian, you sure have a penchant for foreign entanglements.
I read somewhere that Harper seemed somewhat relaxed and not especially upset after losing. Hmm — if true, my guess is he know exactly what was coming down the pike and is happy to leave Junior to deal with it — knowing that the fellow is indeed in way over his head. It is the perfect revenge — payback for all the unwarranted nasty flack he had to take while in office. Maybe that is not what he is thinking at all, but it does make for a kind of justice in the end.
all this great knowledge expounded in here, I must buy a big bull so I can expound as well
It’s like watching a bear play with a hysterical chicken.
I wonder how Junior would react should Vlad whip out his MiG-35s to show him how big THEY are…?

“Harper seemed somewhat relaxed and not especially upset after losing”
As would I, along with most normal people in this country. The guy had a good run and got things done, although not as many or as quickly as some would have liked. Harper had to battle the opposition and the media throughout his entire run as PM. Nothing he could do was ever acceptable and even his smallest fumbles were magnified and embellished. Time to sit back, put his feet up and grab the popcorn. He has nothing to be ashamed of and history will show that his accomplishments were for the best. The electorate chose badly and, for that, we will all suffer.
