Because that’s not about privacy, that’s about the trade war. Retaliatory tariffs on US cars increase cost of cars for Canadians, as there are almost no car assembled in Canada. Reducing or eliminating tariffs on cars from China would lower cost of new cars for Canadians while keeping the tariffs up.

For privacy and security, not a single new car on the market is decent right now. That should be regulated, but that’s no concern for any politician at the moment.

Or more likely half way through the window, except if you’re really really slim!

Joke was on them: no one in France call them “french” fries anyway. So no one cared when they were re-labelled in the US.

They were invented in Belgium…

You’re forcing your conclusion on facts that don’t align with them. Yes, Biden lied, I literally wrote that, no need to try to further convince me. And it’s no well kept secret why: the dems would do nothing to upset their donors, and some high profile donors support Netanyahu. There is nothing to read in that.

There is no logic in your claim about Trump whatsoever, but you’re so up in “government lie all the time” that you invent conspiracy where there is none.

Yes, Trump lies. if you ask him, he works for USA’s and its citizens best interests. And the truth is he’s working for himself, and at present that means doing Putin’s bidding. And if you make that hypothesis, everything he does make perfect sense.

There is no need to imagine a more complex scheme. None of these people are geniuses. They are normal humans (well… Trump is the exception, he’s abnormally stupid and unhinged) and their plans are never that deep.

And yes, next elections (if there are…), it will be red vs blue again, not because of a complex scheme with Russia, but because most of the medias belong to oligarchs and will shoot down any outlier, and because the system was made for a 2 parties alternance. None of that has anything to do with Trump’s behavior, and would he support Ukraine instead of Russia, it would be just the same. Evidence: Biden supported Ukraine. Did that change the blue vs red thing?

So you’re saying that as Biden was lying about his efforts to stop the massacre at Gaza so that he would not piss too many of the dems voters, Trump pretends to be a traitor working for Russia so that he wouldn’t piss too much… Russia sympathizers in his base??

You realize that doesn’t make the slightest sense?

Gaza and Ukraine are 2 totally different cases, using one to assess the other makes no sense. In Gaza, under Biden, they barely announced they would hold on deliveries to Israel, and they did to a bare minimum. There was no secret hidden delivery, it was in plain sight for all to see. One of the reasons is some high profile donors of the Dems are supporting Netanyahu.

Under Trump, the position has changed for a full support of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and they resumed the delivery of larger bombs, that Biden had indeed been withholding.

The US collect intelligence in many different places worldwide. They didn’t say they would stop collecting intelligence, they said they would stop sharing it with Ukraine. The goal is not hidden, it’s been announced and the acts are consistent: it’s to force Zelensky to surrender to Russia, what Trump calls a “peace plan” in exchange of… well nothing, really. Ukraine loses, as simple as that.

There is no secret chess play here. If you ask why Trump supports Russia against pretty much all of the US (former?) allies now, then we venture into speculation, though many of us have an idea. But is he supporting Russia? Yes, definitely, the evidences are compelling. That’s no longer a question. It’s more than time to accept it.

Ok, let’s make sense out of this

• The US gov announced very officially they stopped providing military aid to Ukraine.
• The US gov announced very officially they stop provivding intelligence to Ukraine.
• Trump asked very openly for a draft on lifting sanctions on Russia.

But they got some planes flying over the black sea, that collect intel, the same intel they said won’t be shared with Ukraine therefore will not be used against Russia interests whatsoever, and that’s your evidence to claim their actions are ambiguous?

I was wrong. They CAN supply Russia with weapons and you’ll claim it’s still ambiguous. Actually, they can probably bomb Ukraine themselves as much as a certain individual can shoot someone on the 5th avenue without losing a single supporter.-

They ARE halting operations against Russia. Factual and official. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/03/02/politics/us-cyber-operations-russia-suspend/index.html

And now, after stopping military aid, they’ve announced they would no longer provide Ukraine with intel. So these patrol are no longer an action against Russia, given they won’t be used in military operations. Another big win for Russia. Again factual and official.

Next step is apparently lifting sanctions against Russia https://www.reuters.com/world/white-house-seeks-plan-possible-russia-sanctions-relief-sources-say-2025-03-03/ This would provide Russia with a desperately needed source of income while economists were speculating that its economy was at risk of a complete collapse in 2025. So Trump is hurrying a relief there.

Do they need to send military aid to Russia directly before we can claim they switched side?
