Leaving aside the thorny question of do we have one, it's President's Day, and what a day it's been. Canada's Crime Minister's been asking Parliament to approve his martial law powers on an "ongoing" basis. Who knows, the truck insurgents might return, threatening the life, livelihood, prosperity and democratic principles of Canada itself.
Canada's Traitor Parliament is set to vote on this very thing tonight. We're not betting men, but the Compound wagers a guinea Trudeau's EA remains in place along with its loathsome Chrystia Freeland steal all your money adjunct, and that protests will continue. Bets on, gentlemen and women! But that's not all.
Russian strongman and former KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin signed treaties today with Donbass and Lugansk, acknowledging the territories as sovereign states and assuring their security in the face of Ukrainian aggression. Russian troops are moving into the region at the time of writing.
Will the Western Power, America, go to war over this and if we did, to what benefit? The stakes are high, World War III, and we have to ask. Is a single drop of American blood worth shedding over Eastern Ukrainian sovereignty.
Perhaps that depends on how much vested 10% interest the Big Guy's got in the region, to say nothing of Nancy Pelosi's son, John Wooden Top Kerry's son, Mittens Romney's son, the Clintons and all the rest. So bets on.
The Compound wagers two guineas on Putin's bluff, what? Devil take the hindmost.
Your Call,
