Never in my wildest nightmares thought we'd have a trade war with our closest ally and trading partner Canada while at the same time relaxing sanctions against Russia. WTH? Canada? Sorry Canada that complete idiots voted in a total dictator wannabe moron. I and most sane Americans support Canada.

Donald Trump is surrendering to Russia.

He's a venal coward. I really don't think we've ever had one of those as president before.

Why doesn't Canada just do it? Why does it need the US to do so?

Biden didn't care, why should Trump?

Why does Trump bend over for Putin at every turn?

Because they have no strength on the world stage. If fact, if another country invaded them tomorrow, they'd be begging us for help.. They're the French-light.

Hopefully Trump will die of natural or unnatural causes before this goes too much further.

Hm G7 wants to

European countries are discussing plans that will let them carry out seizures of Moscow's oil-exporting tankers in the Baltic Sea.
The proposals include using international law to allow them to take control of vessels on environmental or piracy grounds.

Really? I didn know that was a thing. Do ships need a smog certificate now?
