“Never interrupt your enemy when they are in the process of destroying themselves.”
Today, the Russian air defense in the occupied #Kherson province shot down their own attack helicopter Ka-52 Alligator (cost $15 million) after it mistakenly attacked the Russian positions. Source: The South Command of UAF. Photo is illustrative.

Ukraine gave up a nuclear arsenal valued at over $1 trillion dollars, including 4,500 nuclear warheads. Guess who asked Ukraine to do this? We did.

🇺🇸 Antony Blinken: “95% of economic aid to Ukraine NEVER left the United States.”
The story about $350 billion supposedly being sent to Ukraine is an outrageous lie. Former Special Envoy Keith Kellogg also called this claim FAKE!
The United States provided Ukraine with only $65.9 billion in military assistance. That was under Biden! And not a single cent under Trump!
That orange bastard will eventually have to answer for all his lies and manipulation. Why are Americans still putting up with this disgrace before the entire world?! 🤷🏼

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

Take a look at the Two Big Shifts below - vital to restoring health in BC
I've been critical of many aspects of our health system and tried to gather data to support those criticisms.
Because I think it's not only important but possible for us to do better. What would I change? Glad you asked.

Well said. More money for health care in BC isn’t the answer. Efficiency and results for what we already spend matters.

I think this is exactly right.
Every decision in healthcare needs to be looked through the lens of putting the patient first.
We also need to align incentives of all the stakeholders.
And I agree we should begin by fostering transparency, and honestly measuring outcomes.

It's been suspicious for some time whose side he is on. Now, there is no doubt at all.
Beyond irresponsible. What part of enforcing a law passed 86-11 by the Senate does the President and his advisors not understand? It’s unconscionable that this administration is capitulating to a Russian dictator who illegally invaded Ukraine and butchers innocent civilians every single day. If the President wants to actually bring down energy prices, he can do it by solving the Iran problem, not by doing a solid for Vladimir Putin.

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

Stockpiles are running low mainly from the Iran war (ongoing since Feb 2026), not Ukraine. Iran ops burned through large shares of high-end systems: 1000+ Tomahawks, 1000+ JASSMs, 1000-1400 Patriots, 190-290 THAADs, plus PrSMs, ATACMS and bunker-busters in months of intense strikes and defense.
Ukraine aid (2022-on) was mostly ground-focused: millions of artillery shells, HIMARS/GMLRS, Javelins, tanks, IFVs, limited ATACMS and a few Patriot batteries/interceptors over years. Overlap is small beyond Patriots.

Russia continues to bomb Ukraine and kill civilians every night. Meanwhile, the FBI director is in Russia tweeting “From Russia, with Love.”
Absolutely disgraceful.

Yes. US officials and reports since March 2026 confirm Russia has shared satellite imagery and location data on US bases, warships, and aircraft to aid Iranian targeting in the Middle East. Iranian strikes on those targets have killed US troops; the official toll linked to the conflict stands at 21 as of mid-October.

First Trump stopped selling interceptor missiles to Ukraine.
Then Trump stopped providing early warning intel for incoming strikes.
Then Musk cut off Starlink.
The blood of those dead Ukrainians is on your hands, Trump voters.

I think Ukraine destroying Russian data centers is a huge gift to humanity. We should crowdsource these if possible!
When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?
