My only concern with the sanctions is that they don’t have a reverse effect. By this I mean that the west isolates them so much that Russian society supports the Putin regime even more. Historically when Germany was made financially responsible for WW1 it allowed for Hitler to gain traction and find a rallying cry for support. A financially depressed society is dangerously influenced by any glimmering light.

It's funny how we can view ours or our neighbour's trespasses without fault and rarely see the other side's point of view, heck most of the time I think of Russia as country far off in the east of Europe when in reality it is our next door neighbour. Are we being programmed to think this way with all the campaigns of "political correctness" and "wokeism"? We have slowly succumbed to reacting based on emotion instead of fact and this manipulation has set us up to be the sucker every time a new perceived injustice or threat that arises naturally or manufactured. We all for the most part want to do the right thing but how do you know what the right thing is when you've been conditioned to accept lies disguised as truth and fear disguised as virtue? Some choose to confront these issues head on others choose to react with emotion and virtue signaling while ignoring the facts some just burry their heads in the sand and hope it all goes away by the time they have to pull out to take a breath. When the later two fail to recognize they are being manipulated or are comfortable going along with the narrative we all suffer the consequences and some of these are irreversible. Most of us are good people and realize there is both good and evil on this earth but forget that evil will masquerade around as good for as long as it can in order to take root and once that happens all it takes for it to flourish is for good people to do nothing. Most of the decisions being made in the world are not being made by who we vote for, who we perceive to be our leaders are merely actors portraying the event in a form of political theatre in order to make these events palatable to the masses, this is then re enforced through propaganda promoted by the media.

India and Russia are trying to figure out how to combine the Rupy and the Ruble for trade purposes right now. Russia has half the world on it's side right now.

The sanctions are not only causing the people of Russia to suffer but the rest of us too. This was either not very well thought out or on purpose if you think about it what does Russia have to loose now if they seek to regain their imperialism? Nothing.

All the damage in Ukraine will be repaired the whole country will be re built using Putin's money and the seized money of his criminal associates.

Well you may have trouble seeing what is happening but I am pretty sure most Canadians know exactly what is going on.

They are waking up that's for sure. The Truckers Convoy has exposed a lot of governmental, judicial, police, and media corruption, it seems the more these agencies have to play their hand the more corruption gets exposed, most people are realizing they are/ have been lied to. While watching Zelensky address parliament on the Globull news channel on FB they decided to turn off the comments after a few minutes. I guess they were only expecting a small fringe minority with unacceptable views.

Well of course I do not agree with any of your assertions, Canadians are fully aware of the mis information on so many social network platforms. The Truckers Convoy was exposed itself as a trojan horse taken over by numerous radical elements with numerous demands, the major one to over throw a duly elected government, just like in Ukraine. The corruption exposed was the monies donated and to where it went , several organizers with checkered pasts and alias names and again associations with the separatist western maverick party. So yes organizer's of the convoy did lie to the public, one of them never had any associations with truckers. Monies entered the country again from people content to disturb Canada and cause anarchy which is what we saw with the closure of borders and job loss. The comments were probably turned off to thwart the agents of deception who take every opportunity to sow discontent.

I see the pope is sending representatives to Ukraine to offer help in trying to mediate a stoppage of violence and death. Where is the head of the Orthodox Church in Russia? I think the majority of Ukrainians are orthodox.

Apparently he's going to consecrate Russia and Ukraine to the Lady of Fatima via a Cardinal in Portugal. https://www.facebook.com/DrTaylorMar...4221352673504/
