Great commentary. This is going to sound unbelievable to the extreme progressive left that is dominating right now, but you are the actual middle left. To put it in different words that nevertheless reflect what you are saying, they are going to be in a world of hurt when all the cards get put on the table.

Thank you for your eloquent, knowledgeable assessment. Surely, the hawk metaphor resonates but a vulture is also witnessing this unfolding of events. I believe the Vulture is complicit in this act of aggression against Ukraine and has guaranteed to bankroll it by consuming as much oil and gas Russia can produce.

When the vulture attacks which is likely, they will seek to control 50% of the computer chips used to drive our modernized economy. If you think we are powerless, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This is the world this lunatic fringe Democratic Party is designing for our children

Dear Sasha, you are correct (I dare not say ‘right’) about Hawks and Birds, but as humans, we are often both. I only hope we continue to evolve from being human to being humane. I understand the desire for the demonstration of strength. But be careful what you wish for. Do you want a ‘strong’ leader like we have in Canada? If you will pardon the pun, I think we are demonstrating that we will have no ‘truck’ with that. We are surrounded by ‘strength’, and it is abusive.

The Freedom 2022 Convoy in Canada is not about right or left, it is about no rights left. It is not about being right, it is about being wronged. The Truckers represent some 2.8 million Canadians who want freedom from being depressed, oppressed, repressed and suppressed by our elites. Note the common syllable in these words; we want freedom of the press, but even more in a country where the press is state supported (CBC 1.2 billion per year) or newspapers (government grants of over 600 million per year), we want freedom FROM the press.

You need only watch the hundreds of hours of live stream video and compare the evidence of your eyes to the assault on your ears by the legacy media with vile inaccurate invective and pejorative opinions used to justify their paychecks. In Canada, we do not have fact checkers, we have fact chequers. You can have any fact you want, even two for one specials. It is not so much about who is in charge, it is about how much they charge. What price freedom? It is right here on the menu, with optional repression of your opponents at a discount. If you want to MUYOM, Make Up Your Own Mind, watch the 14 minute farewell video of Tamara Lich, the initiator of the Freedom 2022 convoy, before she heads to jail. You tell me if she is a terrorist.

In Canada, we have experienced the ‘strong’ Polarizing Vortex that has swept down from the poles and threatens our political climate. But Climate includes all countries of the world.

We need to remember that our Planet is a Sphere, it has no sides, only Poles that are frozen wastelands without life. We need to DePolarize….. Come in from the Cold…. Warm your Hearts.

And don’t worry about Climate Change; There is no Global Warming in Canada.

The ‘Strong’ have frozen everything, from your Freedom to your Funds.

Worldwide, America was known as the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave.

Canada will now forever be known as the Land of the Fee, Home of the Slave.

Zelensky is the baby bird. Zelensky's problem is that he believed our promises of support and started teasing the hawk.

Leaders in those 'buffer' countries know from 500 years of history that they are robins caught between Germany and Russia. They know how to stay alive in that situation. Lukashenko knows the strategies, so he prospers. Those same leaders ALSO know from 200 years of history that America always breaks its promises. Zelensky forgot both of those lessons.

I’m assuming Beckster refers to you not always being on Team Trump from day 1?

That’s what gives you credibility though. Knowing your backstory, even the parts of your essay I may disagree with, gives me pause.

Ah it probably sounds like I'm a Trump supporter. I am sympathetic to Trump supporters and to Trump himself but right now I'm a registered independent or unaffiliated. I have always been a Democrat. I tend to defend Trump supporters a lot and people scream at me constantly and call me a Trump supporter but in the traditional sense just a wanderer.
