Willful ignorance. Fear of the state. Habitual cowardice. Chronic dependence. Fear of one's neighbors. Suffocating hopelessness. Total social, entrepreneurial and intellectual paralysis.
The view from socialist Canada:
"The only people allowed to speak in Canada are socialists and they fight over a shrinking pie, like vermin over crusts. If you are not a socialist, keep your head down and your voice muted. It’s too dangerous to focus on Canadian issues. The cadre of grim Marxists in our Privy Council are wildly punitive. They jail people and forget them. If you evince any opinion other than the approved, you are instantly thrown out of any social group, corporation, church, charity group, book club or tennis club.
"All media is so subsidized and obedient, no one watches or reads it but the gatekeepers and government employees. We are so subsidized that a film director makes $7,000 a week directing a Hallmark movie set in Maine or Chicago, but filmed in Toronto, and half of that production is paid for by the Canadian taxpayer. The stars are American. Any profits go to the American producer and network.
"We have trillions of dollars in talent and energy sidelined, living on scraps, without hope.
"For what? “To build the Canadian film industry”, goes the intonation. Name one Canadian film. One. A book, an artist? Except Margaret Atwood, who singlehandedly created two generations of lonely impoverished elderly single women and busted up men with her sexist man-hating propaganda. I watch them wander around dolefully, nothing to look forward to but sickness and decline. Childless. Because feminism.
"If you are excellent in Canada, you are pushed aside. Socialism demands the stupid be empowered because sharp wits would see their game. Our work force is subsidized-up-the-nose second, third and fourth raters. Oh we publish and show and perform. No one cares. The product is socialist realism meant to show the audience that it, the audience, is evil. It’s crude propaganda, no subtlety, no nuance and a vanishing amount of humour.
"We are an exhausted sigh of a nation."

Putin has been consistent from the before the Military Operation that he simply wants to be left alone by NATO, the EU and the US. His terms for peace have been reasonable and have not changed.
Alastair Crooke:
"There are reports that Macron and Starmer agreed in a conversation that Zelensky must conduct some provocative operation [this week]
"--a false flag operation or a provocative attack into Russia, into the depth of Russia or something else--sufficient to create an absolute pressure on Putin to respond, and thus to destroy the meeting altogether, to stop the meeting taking place.
"The Europeans are terrified of the [Alaska] meeting taking place [on Friday] and they want to stop it. I believe the Russians have probably picked up on it, suggesting that there is going to be an attempt to create some incident, some security catastrophe, that creates the impossibility of following up on this meeting. And the Euros are trying to insert Zelensky into Alaska, whether invited or ...
"For four hundred years, Americans lived in a world wherein your brother, your neighbor, your town and region were your responsibility. And where you yourself, could do anything under the commodious carapace of the King of Kings.
"More than anything, the CIA wanted Christianity destroyed; it bred self-determination and strength. Under MKUltra, and mostly at Stanford’s Research Center, using the flower children and rock scene of L.A. and San Francisco, they figured out how to ruin human potential.
"In fact, they called it the human potential movement, in a typical inversion of reality. What it did was celebrate and encourage your worst impulses, praise your degradation, tell you that weakness is your strength, supplant your heritage with the heritage of foreign faiths and experimental practices."

Full text of the statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense:
According to information obtained through multiple channels, the Kiev regime is preparing a provocation aimed at disrupting the planned Russian-American talks scheduled for August 15 of this year.
To this end, on Monday, August 11, a group of foreign media journalists was transported by the SBU to the city of Chuguev in the Kharkov Region, under the cover story of “preparing a series of reports about residents of the city in the frontline zone.”
Directly before the summit, on Friday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are reportedly planning a staged strike using drones and missiles on one of the densely populated residential areas or a hospital, with a large number of civilian casualties. The Western journalists brought in are expected to immediately “document” the incident.
As a result of this provocation by the Kiev regime, all responsibility for the strike and civilian casualties will be assigned to the Armed Forces ...
