Ukraine losing large, so Globe & Mail tells Canadians to "empty the cupboard for Ukraine"

That’s the title of a full-page op-ed in the Globe today. Near the end of Justin Ling’s full-page opus, we find this nugget of clarity; “But one message I heard loud and clear in Ukraine, including from those who fought in this wretched war, is that they are much closer to losing this war than its allies seem to believe.” Indeed! In fact, by the time you get to that revelation, you’ve read about thirty paragraphs of pro-war propaganda exhorting us to mortgage the future of Canada to supply unlimited resources to Ukraine until they “win.” Win what? The end-times crowd wants to portray US/NATO’s war on Russia as some sort of battle between good and evil, democracy and autocracy. Ukraine is fighting Russia so our shared democratic values will prevail in the face of the totalitarian threat. That’s not fooling the rest of the world, aside from the usual lap-dog vassal states in the EU/NATO. Democracy? How does any sane person imagine the never-ending DC clown show makes anyone anywhere want to embrace American-style democracy? Human rights? Dust off your Abu Ghraib souvenir photo album to refresh your memory about the Free World’s (aka the American Empire) commitment to human rights. Free speech? Julian Assange. No, we’re not the good guys anymore…
