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.

    “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 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.
