Canada’s long-standing, stalwart support of Ukraine will be under new and intense pressure early in the new year, say experts and a former top military commander, as the West braces for possible military action by Russia, perhaps as soon as late January.
There could be as many as five possible scenarios on how the current crisis in Eastern Europe might play out, and they’re almost all bad.
The assembly of over 100,000 Russian troops on Ukraine’s eastern border and the possibility of a full-blown invasion has riveted the attention of western leaders and policy-makers.
Will Russia invade? That’s doubtful, in fact I suspect they’ll get what they want through threats alone.
Whether they do or don’t remember Czechoslovakia.
NATO will do nothing except hasten its own end as it is exposed as a sham alliance.
Canada will do nothing beyond sanctions, if that.
Biden will get his 10% so America will do nothing. The American, Ukrainian, Russian and Euro Oligarchs recognize war is sometimes bad for business.
Chrystia Freeland will be sad so she’ll dream up some horrid domestic policy to punish Canadians.
Meanwhile Canada’s armed forces will be tasked with developing a Quick Deployment Pride Parade Brigade.
This is likely a more realistic take on things by a Polish MEP, and few know Western and Russian treachery better than Poland.
‘The current situation reeks of a new Yalta’ – Polish MEP warns over potential deal between US and Russia
… “Poland is in a difficult geopolitical situation. The U.S. wants to draw Russia to its side against China. If this works out, Russia will demand some kind of payment. What will it be? We need to remind ourselves of history. Poland must arm up and build a coalition of states which will not accept another Yalta,” he said.
The Yalta conference saw much of Europe carved up between the great powers in preparation for the end of the Second World War. The allies recognized that the USSR had a sphere of influence over much of Eastern Europe, and essentially green lit the Soviets taking control of Poland.
