...Looks like Trudeau revoked the "emergency powers"...

I just read through half a dozen pages of WW3 angst without seeing any mention of the ending of the emergency powers until your post.

I guess whining about them was more fun than celebrating the end of them.

Before you begin to gloat about the end of emergency powers, did Trudeau end vaccine mandates everywhere too?

I mean, fk those individual rights... am I right?

Democrats & Republicans (Communist too)  are 2 sides of the same coin - collectivists, (the average is more important than the individual)
Libertarians - individualism, (individuals free from coercion will best serve the whole) the US is founded on the principles of individual freedoms and it provided to serve the whole better than other forms of collectivism up until its demise between the 2 world wars.

That clarifies it a little. I've always felt that collectivists were the problem, whether they were corporations, unions, motorcycle gangs, or governments.

Here in Canada there is a strong tradition of individual rights. Most people considered Pierre Trudeau to be a socialist, but when he created the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights, he stated that collective rights should never have precedence over individual rights. I guess that made him a bit of a Libertarian.

Russia is a communist shithole, every (political) opposition, activists and journalists are geting killed and/ore arrested.

Remember Alexei Navalny (a good Russian), which Putin tried to kill but survived in Europe? When he came back at home he was immediately arrested with years of prison time which means Russian justice system is rotten to the bone.

Even Memorial Human Rights Center is banned...you know...communism and human rights does not go hand-in-hand.

You got your metaphors all wrong.
Putin is absolutely not a commie. He is an ardent autocrat (authoritarian) with russian nationalist tendencies to boot.
There is not a sliver of communist ideology in his proclamations.
In fact, he always besmirch Lenin (who was an 'internationalist' and commie #1) in his speeches as well.
Watch his speech made before the invasion if you want.

This is a critical distinction, but does not make him any better, of course.

TL;DR Putin=authoritarian nationalist

http://www.jrnyquist.com/is-putin-a-communist.html

In January 2016 Putin publicly criticized Lenin. But he didn’t criticize Lenin for being a communist. He criticized Lenin for “providing regions with autonomy.” By doing this, Lenin “planted an atomic bomb under the building that is called Russia and which would later explode.” This explosion took place in 1991 and led to the breakup of the Soviet Union. Putin was not criticizing Lenin’s communist ideas. He was criticizing Lenin for causing the breakup of the Soviet Union.

In response to a reading of Boris Pasternak’s poem about Lenin’s imposition of communist thought, Putin publicly said, “Ruling with your ideas as a guide is correct, but that is only the case when that idea leads to the right results, not like it did with Vladimir Ilyich [Lenin].” Many newspapers reported that Putin had verbally attacked the Soviet system and its founder. But Putin was actually criticizing Lenin’s tactics because they ultimately proved harmful to the communist state.

opinions can differ, but here is how Wikipedia describes communism:
"Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal') is a philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of the means of production and the absence of social classes."

Nothing of this fits, unless you call anybody from that area a communist, like a majority might still do (long memories).

You can call Vlad an imperial-builder or a tzarist (maybe he even want to eventually declare himself a tzar, I give it 50:50), but he ain't a communist. No siree.
Drudge even posts that he wants to 'rebuild' the Christendom-check it out.
I seriously doubt the latter, but he DOES want to rebuild something like a former Russian empire. That's a given.

I disagree with this quote..I would argue this day began the fall of the Soviet Union.

April 28th, 1986 The announcement was 14s long and two days after the fact mind you.

They are fighting around the Exclusion Zone right now. Its madness. Zaporizhzhia is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe, it and its 6 reactors are probably a main objective.

The conclusion is simple, there are 3 countries that need to be bombed out of existence until they stop breathing:  China, America & Russia. Then we have peace.

With comming sanctions those people will suffer, Putin and his inner circle doing all they can to stop the protests.

Mongols, Tatars, Vikings, Teutonic knights, United Europe under Napoleon's France, United Europe under Hitler's Germany, and now United Europe under Anglo-American Empire. Russia is under sanctions for the last 1000 years. They simply do not care about sanctions when they have to defend their country.

Conclusion:
There can not be security for the Brussels Union if there is no security for the Russian Federation. If you say that you don't care about Russian red lines you just get kicked in the backside.

Ukraine lost their sovereignty in 2014 and became Anglo-American colony under Nazi rule. Putin just gives Ukraine a second chance to have a truly independent, neutral and democratic country.

Meh, we've already been through this in the 60s, MAD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction that's the only thing guaranteeing security on this blue marble. When Soviets got too close to US through Cuba, US made Cuba a failed state. Now it seems US got too close to Russia through Ukraine, and Russia is about to make Ukraine a failed state. Sucks for the people, war is hell, but these proxy wars are better than the alternative of direct confrontation.

Common man!!  Bombing half of Earth and making it semi-inhabitable would be as similar to living on Mars. But slightly better.    

Look.. we can live for like 20 years in caves. Then come back to the surface and thrive. Deal??

'Countries' and the political doctrine shoveled out by the elites are not one and the same. I have no problems with the Russian people..nor Chinese for that matter...or anyone else really. Its the perpetuation of fear mongering and strong arm tactics by these entrenched entities that seek control and power just for the sake of that itself.

Of those 3...at least in one you can still do this and not having too much worry of disappearing or having your social score adjusted.

Some 1,745 people in 54 Russian cities were detained, at least 957 of them in Moscow.

Makes me wonder what USs plan was when they supported revolution in Ukraine. Was the expectation that Russia will not retaliate (if so looks to be miscalculated), or was this reaction anticipated and the bet was on toppling Putin (currently being played out)

From the latest that i could find, Ukraine reports 160 missile strikes, and 137 casualties. Either Russia is pounding sand, cant hit their targets, or there are a ton of unmanned targets in Ukraine?

Dunno man.. the population feeds the system. So kill the population of those countries??

Or maybe BTCiTcoin will solve things in 5 years (probably not). My faith is probably in some sh!tcoin that will be having small fees & very fast, +some security, but not too much security.

Until then the simplest solution to stop feeding a system is to kill its feeders. So 3 countries to stop madness. I will probably wait for Mad Max nonsense to come so me & my buddies to go eat the hearts of Chinese, 'Muricans or Russians. Probably the 'Murican ones will be high in saturated cholesterol, so I guess lean russian human meat will be more doable! Yum!!!
