Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed any deal letting Russia keep Ukrainian land, saying it would encourage other countries to break international rules.

Speaking to a NATO meeting, he highlighted Canada’s $19.5 billion aid to Ukraine and stressed the need to defend global stability.

Trudeau defended his plan to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2032 after criticism of Canada’s low defense funding.

He warned against isolating Ukraine, saying continued support is crucial to stop further global conflicts.

Ukraine attacking russia in their territory with US and NATO weapons isn't going to make russia stop, it will give russia even more claims to keep up with the war. That's how weapons give you more war.

But it ok for Russia to attack any part of Ukraine?

Typical bully behaviour- attacking someone weaker than themselves and then complaining when the victim fights back.

They are not just complaining about it they are using it as leverage to their propaganda and to send more people into war.

Bullies a lot of times don't attack you directly, they threaten you and piss you off until you end up attacking them. The reality of this war and pretty much all others is that there's a bunch of rulers who benefit from war and seek more of it not less. During the past century USA and Russia have been provoking and fighting each others directly and in proxy wars. Cutting military budget to 0 is how you stop wars.

"Cutting to zero".

Wishful thinking. One side cuts to zero hoping the other side does the same, only to be attacked.

Or, Russia stops its illegal war of aggression.

only to be attacked.

You can defend yourself from an attacker even if your government gives 0 public money to the war industry.

I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but you're going to have to expand on that last statement.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

I know i shouldn't answer to idiots but here you go:

You and your government are two different things. If someone attack you you can defend yourself even if the government doesn't put a gun in your hands. Some example? The 200$ drones they are using in ukraine to defend themself.

Do you not think a trained professional military could make that guerrilla warfare more costly for the occupiers? Couldn't an effective military simply prevent the invasion?

Check out the CNT-FAI and how well that strategy worked for them in the late 30s.
