Pre-preparing... don't buy US weapons with kill switches (F35). Stop the idiocy of Canada's military strategy/needs as continuing to act as force amplification for US evil/ambitions.
By far the most important diplomatic/military posture change must be re-evaluating Russophobia. Russia's narratives are far closer to reality than our propaganda, and our propaganda only exists to defraud us, not convince Russians that our values "are love towards them". More important that the demonic morality of agreeing with every US warmongering propaganda in history, pretending that anti-Russia/China propaganda matters more than our defense divides us with the world. It's that division that makes it easy for US to "settle for Americas" and give up the rest.
Preparing, together with Europe, means unity with Russia and China. Simply dropping the antagonism towards them goes a long way. It is a complete joke to try to bog Russia down in Ukraine, because, as always, they need to do the heavy lifting in protecting the world from the US.
Why are Russia bogged down in Ukraine again?
Oh, yeah, because they invaded a neighbouring country.
How is embracing Russia the answer to the US potentially invading a neighbouring country?
Russia is showing just as embarassing cowardice vs US as Canada is. One explanation for not sinking US Carribean fleet, or destroying US bases in UK is that they are receiving other concessions from US. It's quite possible for Canada and Europe to be on the menu while 3 powers are at dinner table. Canada's devotion to be on the US's plate destroys any option to escape being eaten. US colonies switching alliance towards neutrality towards Russia instead of US subservience is only path to stopping the US, because it is the only path to counterbalance in western hemisphere.
Our truly demonic warmongering lies support for war on Russia is suicidal. Ukraine is a 100% US puppeted Ukraine war provocation, and the people who tell you otherwise, hate you and march you to your death. OP suggests the absurdity of a coalition of the cowardly food. When it has been so easy to divide the cowards into individual stronger submission to the US.
Step 1 for a coalition of the cowards is ending agreement for US demonic lies, and validating all of their objectives, even when their means means we get eaten next. You have to revise and challenge the demonic lies themselves, instead of pretending we have superior values that justify a liberal supremacism that is indistinguishable from nazi supremacism operationally.
Fuck off with your Putin shilling
Putin, trump, xi, they're all the same and they all should he removed from power
People like you should touch grass
exactly the lameness and baseless destructive denial of reality that is US shilling and support for US aggression against Canada.
