A very good and detailed look at russia's Shahed drone factories in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone near Yelabuga. Building 2: (55.821432°, 52.052258°) The very large structure at top right is the former Ford-Sollers auto and engine plant, perhaps closed in 2022. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_So...

PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on the completely unacceptable pressure from Trump, and on trending Canada-Nordic relations.

And this is the essence of russia's shadow fleet. Putin is counting on no one seizing or destroying them due to the economic and environmental costs of removing them from his military financial feed. So just remember this single number: one PAC-3 Patriot anti-ballistic missile costs US$ 5 million.

Buttigieg: "We lived through a war that was sold to us on false pretenses when I was younger. This war has not been sold on any pretense. The president just went ahead and did it."

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

Iceland's PM Kristrún Frostadóttir speaks on the recent void in global leadership <coughs trump> and also welcomes Canada to the fight.

'All the President's Men', the classic film from 1976 about the Watergate scandal, still has resonance today. #film

It's great seeing Canada making strong renewed connections with the Nordic 5 countries, on our shared cultures and shared Arctic defence. The essence of close friends and allies.

No Kings. March 28.

NASA's inspiring and still surviving Perseverance Mars rover is still going, and spotting the socks you somehow lost in the dryer. This one belong to anyone?

Note: The Halfway Post is a satire site. Polling shows 52% of Americans believe Trump started this war to distract from the Epstein files. The sentiment IS real and pervasive.

"If Russia withdraws its troops from Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Transnistria and Belarus, limits its military spending to 2% of GDP, gradually decommissions its nuclear warheads down to triple digits, holds free and fair elections, then we can have peace."

Ukraine is the world leader in drone technology and anti-drone defence. Trump dismissed Ukraine's offers of help a year ago.

Trump's attack on Iran resulted in the expenditure in a few days of at least 800 PAC-2 and PAC-3 Patriot anti-ballistic missiles to counter Iran's response. This is more than Ukraine has used in 4 years of daily russian attacks.

I still support NAFO on the other place, and rotate here to regenerate and try to be human. Sometimes I mock trolls here too, but they are very rare.

You know what would be peak comedy, right about now? (from @Kama_Kamilia on the other place)

A display sign at Toronto's TMU Sankofa Square reads "Made With 0% American Cheese". When the percentage of your cheese becomes advertising, your entire brand is completely screwed.

Just more abuse and incompetence from the current US administration. How can allies support a USA that attacks its own media's free and accurate reporting? How can allies support a USA that did not inform them in advance, and can't coherently explain the reasons or strategy of its war plan?

Dean Blundell isn't wrong. Trump's Iran war is illegal, and Epstein wag-the-dog timed. "Trump demanded allies’ help with a war he started without consulting them, without congressional authorization, without a plan, and without an exit strategy. The world looked at that ask and said: no."

Canada grapples a bit with where you went there with this, although proving Canada remains a free democracy. You are not wrong.

CBC Radio's 'Frequencies' with host Errol Nazareth. Free stream world wide. World music with a profound understanding that world music and world culture enriches us all. This one is March hot tracks. Free stream. Give it a listen:

CBC Radio, a free streaming gift from Canada to the world, has a science program called 'Quirks and Quarks'. One thing really strikes me at this moment: When we're not fully distracted by unnecessary wars and psychotic partisan politics, there are so many other great things we can investigate.

So he wrote Mein Kampf into a bill. The Nazis called this Umsiedlung.

For anyone following along in this very strange dialogue with a Trumpist troll, "@boomservice.bsky.social has blocked you". I am very pleased. Feel free to go push their buttons a bit more.

The GOP is apparently very afraid of a free democracy.

Classic Stephen Colbert, on the Strait of Hormuz and a bunch of other stuff...

Humanoid robots under study by Ukraine... YT video from the other place.

❗️The presence of interceptor drones does not guarantee effective protection without operators, software, and a systematic approach to air defense, — Zelenskyy Ukraine's Armed Forces currently have exactly such a system for countering unmanned aerial vehicles,

This is quite good.

While the US fights about internal domestic politics, international tanker crews are trying to survive this. Caused by Trump's insane internal politics.

Perhaps the best explanation I've read yet for Trump's war against Iran. Just like Venezuela. "Now I do believe that Trump has one clear strategic goal in mind. This war in his mind is all about a desire to put in place a new dictatorial/authoritarian Iranian leader from whom he can benefit."

This is very well done. I'm Canadian. When Trump started threatening Canada, I started getting more sharing about US politics. Bring on the Blue Wave. Especially in NC.

Dear America Australia would like to apologise for spawning this evil, insidious individual, Keith Rupert Murdoch born March 11, 1931. In addition we also apologise for his export to your nation, undermining your democracy and propagating its demise. We spawned the infection you got the sepsis.

Both are probably war criminals now.

Canada doesn't yet have one-way strike drone capacity. The CAF doesn't have an Unmanned Systems Command similar to Ukraine. That has to change, and change fast. Russia is at war with the West, including Canada. And the USA is no longer a certain ally.

One of the worst of the right-wing oligarchs taking control of media, including Fox Network, and more Trump-Epstein connections: "In July 2025, Murdoch was sued by Trump for $10 billion over an article claiming that a birthday greeting containing Trump's name was sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003."

Honestly, no one outside the US is sure who is running the government of the United States.
