       Canadians training in the U.K. for the first time in thirty years.Brilliant move on #Russia's part, invading #UkraineWar. #NATO is obvious about to give its last few kicks before falling silent forever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WiDnf7D3no

       Random Canadian reservists get 6x as much training in this exercise as those poor #Russia mobiks before they go off to serve as "cannon meat".We say "cannon fodder", the Russians I know explicitly say it's "cannon meat".So many young men dead for one old man's delusions of grandeur.But this is how it's always been with our species, no?

       I'm anti-war.Bush's adventure in Iraq was just that - an imperial adventure, a disastrous war of choice started with lies.What #Russia is doing in #Ukraine is awful, but Biden and the rest of the NATO country leaders are standing behind Zelenskyy, who is facing a war of necessity.We didn't start this, so I've begun to wonder why we're being so dainty about ending it. The F-16 will look good in blue and gray with some gold accents.
