Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What is it with these people whining about body counts when they were fine with body counts when the Ukrainian forces were shelling Donbass for 8 years running?
When the South seceded in 1861, shouldn’t the North have fought to reunite the US of America?
When the Russians set up puppet rebellions in Donetsk and Lukash provinces in 2014, shouldn’t the Ukrainian Government fought to reunite the rebellious provinces with Ukraine?
When the Russian supported rebels in Donbas shot down of Malaysian Air Flight 17 with a Russian SAM missile, was that a good thing?
Just so we all know that you’re OK with shelling civilians, and telling lies that excuse the Open Society Foundation’s involvement.
You and Colon, just can’t stop supporting NAZIs, and supporting shelling civilians for years on end, and when someone gets sick of you and the WEFs BS, you whine like a trans thing.
No I am not OK with any military shelling civilians, whether it is Russians shelling Kharkiv, Mariopul and Kiev, Ukrainians shelling Donbas, or the US hitting an Afghan Family of ten in Kabul. That is the reason we should push Russia and Ukraine to seek peace.
I am very disappointed in F. Joe Biden. His stupid policies of banning oil extraction on public lands, cancelling the Keystone XL Pipeline, and halting exploration of ANWR empowered Putin and Russia by increasing Russian Oil and Gas exports AND raised the World Prices Russia received for its oil and gas. That extra income financed Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. A few shoort years ago, Putin was canceling ships and new weapons systems.
Russia has made several offers. Seems the Uke leadership and the WEF prefer war.
There is only one acceptable offer: every Siberian Mongol out of Ukraine, period. The same should apply to every other civilized place.
Joe Biden decides nothing. Zero, Zilch.
If you don’t like US policy, blame the right guy.
No. They should have let the south secede, like free people in 1861. Americans talk alot about freedom but don’t know much about it.
Free people–and their slaves.
Ukrainians forces were fighting to take Dombas back from Siberian Mongol collaborators and terrorists. Killing them was a service to humanity.
We all know how you’re straining at the bridle to be allowed to kill millions of white people again, Colon, no need to keep proving your sickened bona-fides again and again.
Siberians don’t qualify as people, Ukrainians do.
Again:
We all know how you’re straining at the bridle to be allowed to kill millions of white people again, Colon, no need to keep proving your sickened bona-fides again and again.
Again you’re confused who qualifies as people. But you’re usually confused. That’s when you you start repeating yourself. Next come strawmen, binary world revelations and finally incoherent nonsense about assholes on bicycles. You’re a low IQ, subhuman demagogue, just like an average russian.
Again and again:
We all know how you’re straining at the bridle to be allowed to kill millions of white people again, Colon, no need to keep proving your sickened bona-fides again and again.
^^^ Pootin’s NPC is glitching.
The Ukraine used to be Russia. It just may be once again.
Map made in 1859 said the whole place was Russia.
And maps made between 13th and 15th century show all russia belonging to their civilizational forefathers the Mongols.
…and maps of the late 21st century will show it all belonging to Russia again, no matter how you weep, you little progressive non-binary queer.
Actually, by late 21st century there will be no russia. Demographics are an inevitable bitch. The whole shithole will collapse, this is already a forgone conclusion. We should be doing everything to hasten it and to make sure it is as bloody as possible.
The only way to beat Putin is via the military. That was obvious when we learned who he sent for negotiations. It was all for show. Trump is wrong, the only way Putin will accept reasonable terms is if the war becomes heavily slanted against Russia. Even then, he still needs a way to declare victory.
Aftert the Kyiv failure for Russia, Donbas will be another failure. Expect some interesting moves over the next week.
Looks like you’ve finally found a fan base here, Allan! Congrats!
In a world ever shittier I’ve become an isolationist.
Fk em all.
Does anyone think Europeans are coming over to North America if Russian and China invaded it?
Not in a million fkn years.
The only difference if Russia annexed Canada would be that it becomes illegal to teach Kindergarten kids about gay sex, and Albertan oil would be exploited.
^ Binary world delusions; your trademark.
Non-binary pronouns, and an inability to tell good from evil: Your trademark.
Heck its not even an inability to tell good from evil, its a love of plain old evil that you rejoice in.
Like I said: you’re a low IQ demagogue simping for evil.
This from the guy who fantasizes about killing millions.
Millions of Siberians in exchange for hundreds of millions of free people. Easy trade. John Van Neumann was right.
Where are these free people you speak of, the ones you use as a pretext to kill millions, again?
The civilized people who teach their children about gay sex? The ones who impoverish their own people to sacrifice them at the altar of Gaea? Yes, you defend them all the time, accusing their detractors of being “binary”, because you’re a non-binary genderqueer or whatever you people call it now sex freak, and probably a pedo.
You are one evil biatch, no doubt about it, and now everybody knows you for what you are.
Colon debuts as a well-used Colon, again, and your epitaph will be “A Colon well Used.” and that’s why you hate Russia, because even your grave would be illegal there, as it should be.
^^^ False dichotomy, followed by incoherent insults. Typical.
And a lesser Authoritarian leader with no known Blackface fetish.
The comments here should give you all some good insight into the mindset of those who Stand with the WEF and the Ukraine, and those who do not.
I think Trump is right. Negotiate and make a deal. Stop the war. Our PM needs to step up and lead.
Colon and the WEF will be satisfied with nothing less than Gay Pride Parades in Moscow, that’s what they’re into.
False dichotomy again. I could not care less what they do to their gays. I just don’t want Siberians outside of russia, gay or straight, makes no difference. You know that already. But you have a pathological need to consciously misinterpret my statements. Like I have pointed out many times, you’re just a low IQ demagogue.
I used to love reading the comments on SDA for the variety of opinions and to see what real people actually think about a given topic but lately anything involving Russia or Ukraine has caused the thread of comments to devolve into something that is unreadable. The usual suspects on here are destroying what used to be such a treasure.
Your right Enough,as you say things have really gone to hell on here. I find myself slowly moving away as the content is frankly not very good anymore.
No, it’s important to have people talk to each other rather than shoot missiles at each other.
Yes, the dialogue has deteriorated among certain individuals that I will not name, but there are still people around here that still care about what’s going on in Eastern Europe, and those people should be heard. I will continue to listen to them.
Negotiate? With whom is Moscow supposed to negotiate? The government of the Russian Federation does not negotiate with terrorists. It fights them, and wins. Ask the Chechens and Syrians.
If President Trump had remained in office, discussion of the Ukraine question would have remained on an adult level, because Trump made clear that he was not interested in getting the United States involved in any more wars to make the world safe for globalism.
As it is, peace will be restored to the Ukraine when Russian law and civilization are restored there. That cannot begin before the Kiev régime is defeated.
Russia wants no part of a “peace” in which Russia ceases to exist.
“Russian law and civilization”
Neither exists.
So do you believe nothing of value would be lost if somehow the peoples of the world of whom you approve could rid itself of ALL its Russians?
If not, which Russians would you keep around? The ones with potential value on the white slave market, I suppose?
Russians are useless as slaves. Supervising them would cost more than what it was worth.
The ruskie bots on this site are putting up a vigorous response but falling short, much like they did in Kiev. Expect the same result in eastern Ukraine from their amateur force. The ruskie is not known for his courage. Many soldiers will be shot in the back.
If Vladimir Vladimirovich is out there and reading this, I propose he put me in his pocket. I could really use the money.
Moving on:
I thought Supporters of the Current Thing were under orders to spell the chief town of the Ukraine “Kyiv.” Confirm the spelling with whoever does your thinking for you.
I wouldn’t know—I’m just a bot.
Thanks for pointing out my incorrect spelling of Kyiv. I foolishly used the russian spelling.
Suggesting that Russians are cowards ignores the facts of world war two. Suggesting that commenters here are bots is just stupid. I have come to expect a lot of stupidity and bluster in the comments here on Russia involved articles. Sad, really but not surprising.
I’m amazed at how many Russian puppets are here.
7-8 centuries ago the Ukrainian cossacks kicked out the criminals, athiests, the mentally ill, the barbarians, the worst of the worst of the culture. They went north, founded Moscow. Now they’re coming back.
There are no puppets, just realists.
If they were realists they would realize that anyone in Eastern Europe will fight to their deaths before they accept a russian boot on their neck. Take it to the bank and extrapolate from there. Never again!
I’m amazed that so few bother to ask who a long war benefits and who a long war hurts. Or don’t realize Ukraine is being used as cannon fodder.
Yes Ward, everything is never quite as it seems.
Kate, I believe it’s long past due to at least lecture the idiot about brazenly advocating for the genocide of an entire nation. That’s no longer “free speech” as in the exchange of ideas. It’s more like “you shouldn’t get to speak because I want you dead.”
I’d say a final warning to him to back off the death rhetoric or a total banning is in order.
“That’s no longer “free speech” as in the exchange of ideas.”
I’m not picking sides here.
Where does one person’s free speech end and another’s start? Who gets to decide what is an idea, what is mere ad hom bullshit and what is an outright lie? On what criteria are those decisions made? F’rinstance, I can recall one particular post on this very subject, maybe a couple months back now, wherein a particular individual was quite convinced that a Russian attack on a particular Ukrainian nuclear plant was, in fact, a false flag event engineered by the Ukrainians themselves.
That “idea” didn’t weather very well and, frankly, sounded more like an ad hom attack on the Ukrainians at the time than anything else. What punishment should that person have received?
It tries to take the high road. How cute.
In a family dispute between two violent, dishonest, and disreputable asshats, civilized people aren’t supposed to take sides. They’re supposed to hope the SMOD takes both of them. What’s going on over there is none of our business. Let ’em duke it out to their heart’s content.
Bots and Tots and “Miss Information”..
Well of course it would be a girl..
This made for TV War,between first cousins apparently,smells funny.
And the more strident the sides become,the more cynical I feel.
So it is now coming up on 2 months of this theatre,the 15minutes of hate is getting old.
And my enemies still do not reside in that part of this planet.
There is a “Deal” over The Ukraine.
We just are not privy to it.
That “Big Club” to which the beaten and starved peons will never belong..
Ukraine is going to be divided.
The Regions Russia has occupied and provided Military Support for will become something other than Ukrainian..
The conduct of this “War” has been the least warlike in decades..contrast the USA’s treatment of Iraq.
Shock and Awe and massive destruction and civilian death,just cause we could..
Considering the cost of just the munitions used ,we could have bribed Sadam and all his henchmen to retire to the Bahama’s for a fraction of the cost to the tax payers..
And now?
To doubt the “Brave defenders of The Ukraine” is to be a Bot?
Sorry ,with every rant from our Ukraine Lover here,I move further away..
The Citizens of the regions under conflict are getting screwed.
A senseless ,pointless butchery..
Unless you want to exterminate certain sections of the Ukrainian Army..
Which is happening as we bitch.
And looked coordinated to me,right from the start.
As if our oh so brave Defenders of Freedom,were so afraid of the Nasty Fanatics they created in their own army..that they had to contract the Russians to control them.
`What and who gains here?
For the longer this conflict goes on,the poorer the Western Ukrainian citizen becomes.
:”We will defend Ukraine to the last Ukrainian”.
Is about right.
Coming for us here in the West.
But who are these Ukrainians?
Do the citizens of the Donetsk and Lukash provinces,consider themselves Ukrainian?
And can any Province choose to separate its affairs from a corrupt and disfunctional central government?
Or is it OK for that Central Government to kill all in that province..in the name of national unity?
The Bots of Alberta want to know.
“Do the citizens of the Donetsk and Lukash provinces,consider themselves Ukrainian?”
If they don’t, if they reject superiors civilization, they can move to russia. There is no excuses for moving russia to them. They are just remnants of occupation made possible by ethnic cleansing and forced resettlements.
Putin has 3+ people for every 1 Ukrainian, and Putin will not hesitate to throw every Russian into this meat grinder, and fight for years, if it means he wins. He will kill every Ukrainian male, if he needs to do that to win, and de-population is one of Putin’s goals in Ukraine.
Ukraine will not survive a long war of attrition. For Ukraine’s sake, the world should demand a ceasefire and peace agreement now. Encouragement should come in the form of total suspension of oil and gas purchases by Europe, which is what keeps Russia afloat.
Today’s ruskie soldier is no cossack. He may have a trace of cossack blood but he has morphed into a vodka soaked, unsanitary, poorly trained unreliable lout.
The russian military may have the bomb but on the ground they have not evolved much since WW11. They are insufficiently trained and have misread the nature of modern warfare. They have to send their generals to the front to personally oversee basic operations because of the lack of training and commitment of the grunt.
Footage of destroyed tanks show equipment from the 60’s. Thin walled tanks that when penetrated by modern missiles the exposed ammo explodes and blows off the turret.
Sure, on paper the russians can win a war of attrition but they are fighting on foreign territory and their logistics don’t measure up. Their retreat from Kyiv exposed the filth and squalor they lived in.
The russians probably will prevail – maybe. They have the big one in their hip pocket. On the ground they are in tough. The Uke is prepared for a fight to death. Think the russian has the same resolve?
