For the first time in 100 years, Ottawa is planning for prospect of an attack from southern border. Canada's armed forces have created a model to prepare for the possibility of US invasion after Donald Trump said he wanted to annex its territory. The idiot wants to take over Canada whose land mass is bigger than the US and make it just another state. In addition he chides Russia and China for grabbing other countries to grow, but it is OK for him to do worse.

At first it was "US and Israel instigating riots." Then it was "these are all mossad agents." Now that they can't keep up with the number of dead bodies, it's "It was Israel that killed them".

I’m by no means a fan of Al Jazeera! Yet several of my friends/colleagues thought that Gaza was the size of California!😖 Give or take 27miles x 11miles, population 2025 ~2,050,000 with ~15 countries involved kinda maybe. Then we have our Cyrus Shah Pahlavi of Iran and Zelensky our King David for Ukraine where human beings want the same, though they know democracy!

A long watch but worth it, I think. Mark Durie is an Australian, Christian theologian with a very sharp mind and an above average understanding of Islam. He’s been warning about what’s coming for over twenty years. There are other things of his worth watching dating back years but this is recent. I’ll try and post more of his stuff in this thread for anyone who’s interested and has the time. His lectures are long and quite academic if you like that sort of thing. Oh and don’t let his Christian credentials put you off if you’re atheist or not Christian. He is a polyglot who understands Arabic and a variety of languages. This enables him to read and interpret texts in their original languages. In my opinion, he’s highly intelligent, analytical and academic. This interview is more accessible than some of his stuff, so if you haven’t come across him before, this might be a good introduction. I hope you find him of value. https://youtu.be/E1GDH3GLY8o?si=n_YYxdXH3vWYCh5P
