This is a pretty major deal for Canadian politics.  h

https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2022/03/22/delivering-canadians-now

Dictator Trudeau strikes again by... working with another party to implement new programs to help low income Canadians.

No federal elections every 6 months until 2025.

The Polish peacekeeping mission is taking shape.
A no fly zone for big cities (probably in the west) and a force of 10k troops.

Apparently the Dutch and Danes are willing to support (probably with the no fly zone) and France is positive as well.
Unclear if NATO and especially the US will give the green light though. But I don't think they have much choice.
Especially if Belarus enters the war over the next few days as expected to help the encircled Russian units around Kyiv.

-mariupol has yet to fall
-it is super close to the russian border and likely was a day 1 objective
-ethnically probably leans russian over ukranian

russia so far has accomplished little other than bomb the people they're supposedly saving into rubble/ruble
I don't even understand what russia's goal is at this point other that to keep digging itself into the mother of all holes

Unless the goal was to purge the army of its generals and equipment, then it's pretty clear they've achieved nothing.

No doubt there is some dissent in Russia among the elite.

But I have trouble believing any detail a tabloid rag would have on this matter. This feels like wild speculation mixed with wishful thinking.

New World Order more like the New World Disorder.


In other news, rumors swirling that Russian defense minister Shoigu had a heart attack and has been replaced by General Dmitry Bulgakov who issued a decree to fake appearances of his predecessor.

Shoigu has returned but he looks as if he has been hit by a bus and the entire general staff seems to have been forced to read Harry Potter.
Also no way to verify when this was recorded.

In light of the Russian 'Special Military Operation', Macron with the help of Greece and Turkey will launch a 'Exceptional Humanitarian Operation' to evacuate Mariupol.

Quote
"French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday said France would spearhead an “exceptional humanitarian operation” alongside Turkey and Greece to evacuate the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. (...) “We are going to launch a humanitarian operation in conjunction with Turkey and Greece to evacuate all those who wish to leave Mariupol,” Macron told reporters (...). The French leader also said he would discuss the Mariupol operation with Russian President Vladimir Putin “within 48 to 72 hours.”"

It's slowly starting to dawn on the Russians just how fucked they are.

https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1507819604105592832

Kamil also has a very interesting thread on how Russia might collapse.
https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1507819508609679364

Basically Putin is untouchable so the people will blame their local leadership, who will try to keep control and improve conditions in their own region at the expense of the rest of the country.

This is what Putin's inner circle fears, they don't fear Putin will lose power himself but they fear that regions will compete for resources and the country splits apart in the process.
Basically everything that 'glues' the country together is falling apart, including the railways and airlines because it all runs on imported technology.

A Ukrainian refugee from Mariupol has told the BBC that she and others from her area were taken to Russia, despite making it clear they did not want to go.

Speaking anonymously to the BBC's Newshour programme, she described being loaded onto a bus by soldiers who said they would be safe.

Later they learned the troops were Russian and the bus was heading towards Russia, she said.

They were taken in a convoy of about 10 buses, she says, and went through rebel-held territory in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.

"We all shouted to tell them to stop there, but they refused to stop there," she added.

Their bus continued to travel to a refugee camp in a sports centre in Russia.

There they were told they would be sent to economically depressed areas in Russia where people were needed for work.

The next day, she says she boarded a train to Tula - about 200km south of Moscow - where passengers were met by police and taken to buses.

"We put our bags on the ground and said 'we're not going anywhere'," she added.

She says she and her companions waited until the buses left then bought train tickets to St Petersburg, and from there travelled by bus to Tallinn in Estonia, where they plan to stay until the fighting stops.

"Russia is being extremely dishonest," she claimed.

"They have double standards. On the one hand they are killing our people and on the other they want to look like they are trying to help us."

The BBC has not been able to independently verify her account, but is aware of other, similar accounts.

A Kremlin spokesman has told the BBC claims that people are being taken to Russia against their will are "a lie".

Mmm that sounds familiar.
