From Italy: if people like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Orban and Meloni have so much space and have reached the position that occupy the problem is not them but who voted for them. If people think that these characters with their wicked decisions bring prosperity and peace, the biggest work must be done on the people who choose them, not on those who have been chosen. Canadians, hold on tight, stay with your back straight, continue to be what you always were, do not bend as many rich Americans have done and prone to the delirium of omnipotence of Trump. We Italians know well what it means to have such people in the seats of power and also how important it is that not everyone bends.

CNN is just another media that whitewashes Trump too often. If you, in the US, had any sane media, all hell would be breaking loose by now! But all the critics I see are so soft, and always fearfull of how Kraznov would percieve them, that they are useless!\nI´m a german in Germany and I´m frightened!\nNot of Putin. I´m sure we in the EU can handle him, even if it`s gonna be hard and will cost us a lot.\nBut right now it seems the US turns heel and switches sides.\nI don`t know if we can handle a russian wanna be empire, that´s supported by the US....\nLand of the brave and free, my ass!

trump doesn´t care about fentanyl .. he wants and needs chaos to establish his new vision of a US regime .. he was always fascinated of how the people are worshipping kim jong un, xi and putin .. he wants to escalate to become the new us dictator ..

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.

Russia has always had Trump as a puppet, and he is doing exactly what Putin wants. Can anyone explain this in a way that makes sense? Canada?? Putin wants to destroy democracy, and what better way than through an Orange Turd? Americans you did this, so only you can undo this.

Prime Minister Trudeau was diplomatic in saying trump is smart. He is a bully and doing what he has always does well, bullying others and siding with another bully, putin!! Who does that? A loser, that's who.

This is a sad day for Canadians our ally and friend has stabbed us in the back to take our country. Canadians are heart broken that this has happened. We do not understand why. I have always felt welcome travelling to the US and celebrate our shared values. It is in comprehensible that the US warms to Putin and turns its back on allies.

I have made it make sense! ?\n\nTrump is and always has been a Putin Hack. His mission is to destroy America and our Allies.\nThis is what the KGB agent Vladimir Putin wants.\n\nPeople wake the F up!!! ?\n\nAmerica is not Russia's friend or Ally. We are their enemy, if you've forgotten that we're doomed ?

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

During the cold war with russia once again trump's boyfriend putin then KGB spy tried using the Canadian border to gain access to the USA. Because Ukraine was forced by russia once again to be part of the USSR, many Ukrainian families were outright painted as red communists and forced to give up farms they had spent generations building from scratch. Ukainians were forced to live in brutal concentration camps in the far northern Canada. Unlike the Japanese, they have never been recognized nor compensated for losing everything and being imprisoned because of fear of russians. Ukrainians are always paying for others' poor behaviour. When will Ukrainians get the respect as human beings rather than an easy escape for delinquent politicians? stand up for the good people who are the dignified Ukrainians who fight now for democracy. Stop trump's public display of his intimate relations with putin before telling others that they are the problem contrary to all the evidence and historical persecution of the Ukrainian people.

The question should be , why Indians are migrating instead of working in there country ? you always blame the west for colonial mental and yet most of you are migrating to western countries , go to Russia instead and find a work , you always praise crazy putin then go to Russia !

And the slowing and progress of Bidens economy is undermined just like that. MAGA time. I didnt know the depression and ww2 were the great times Americans voted to come back. He's bringing back the depression and ww3 like he said he wouldn't but he always wanted. Trumps goal is to bring America to her knees so Putin can have her way with her.

Does anyone else find bizarre that Trump literally told his voters at a rally last year this:\n“ I don’t need your votes this time. We got plenty of votes. Don’t worry about voting “. ? ???????\nGiven his shady connection with seasoned election fraudster Putin and Mr. Technology Elon Musk, and what is at stake, do you think those 11mln blue votes from 2020 disappeared for a reason? \nIt seems hard to believe with all the excitement for Kamala( which Biden was never even close to), she got 11 mln votes FEWER?\nA malignant narcissist like Trump would want to leave the election to stay out of jail to …chance?!?\nI am not buying it. Also , a malignant narcissist always tells on themselves. A little hint here and there… ?\n“ I DONT NEED YOUR VOTES THIS TIME. WE GOT PLENTY. DONT WORRY ABOUT VOTING “. ????

What about the immigrants that have been working and contributing and trying to get citizenship for decades and the spouses of American citizens still fighting for their right after paying taxes for many years - are we raiding all families homes and splitting up kids from parents? Did we ever find the families for the 800+ kids that had no details taken still unable to contact families that trump split them from the first time? Or does that not matter cause it’s not YOUR kids? Huh. When they come and create the detention camps and ship people back to places they haven’t been in decades who cares right they have been paying American taxes and have no rights while their years of waiting for their citizenship - fix that maybe so those who are working, contributing can stay and work in the jobs they have and keep families together. But no let’s demonise EVERY single person because most who voted are ignorant just like abortion about the actual application and situations that arise within a MASSIVE spectrum. Just dumb it down to ANY illegal, and does that also include the legal folks that GOP decide aren’t anymore just cause they came from elsewhere on an invitation? Springfield residents I would suggest if you haven’t or can’t left the state already you find points of contact for legal battles. \n\nWelcome to the start of your facist, authoritarian, white nationalist, dictator era AMERICA. What follows was your own doing. To any woman that voted republican - No matter your faith there is no well I always vote republican defence. Women have and will die for lack of healthcare, their deaths are on your hands and every republican. And so we are clear there are ZERO babies ‘executed’ after birth cause anyone changed their mind. The deaths of fetus carried to term are due in almost all cases to massive complications, unviable development or other mitigating issues. Those babies were wanted. They were mourned. \n\nWhere is the magic money for all these deportations coming huh? Reconciliation won’t pay the bills, and once the workers who do the labour that effect service, hospitality, food supply the costs of things will rise. But apparently multiple Wall Street and top economists telling you outright that trumps plans will tank the economy still you don’t believe. Even though Biden landed the best recovery in the world post covid and gop. When musk and the rich are getting another tax break and the costs of food and gas rise who do you blame then? If it wasn’t for all the innocent ppl about to suffer I would wish you welcome to just implode with this vile plan but the dictators like putin are already rubbing their hands together in gleeful joy. People of Ukraine I am sorry. People of Yemen, Syria, Palestinian civilians, Israel hostages, lgbtq+ communities, non white Christian faith followers, blended families, veterans, minorities or anyone fleeing violence, death or persecution - there will be no aid or help by the GOP Trump administration and in fact I fear you will be targeted by hate and ignorance or selfishness and greed. But I hope enough columns of good remain to shield as many as possible from what is in their plans. Folks who voted for gop while being in the targeted communities you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon you may experience your choices in vivid regret. \n\nFor those who still have a conscience I share your heartbreak and wish the future 4yrs pass quickly and a flicker of hope that there is still good enough people who will offset the hate, division and evil that’s about to erupt all over the country. ?️

Now that we know how you Cubans feel. I hope for generations you understand that you have cost yourself millions and billions of potential dollars in tourism for your communities in the future. That’s why the south and Texas will have to cry their own river to deal with what they have created for themselves. The future citizens of the world who look down on Trump and the type of people who vote for him don’t want to come to Florida anymore. We’ll fly all the way to Italy or Africa or the Caribbean. \nSame for other warm states. I could visit them as a wealthier American, but I simply won’t and never will now. That’s okay. \n\nNew York and liberal blue states will always be loved by the world and you all will be looked at as the trash no nothing drop outs who can’t make it in big cities because you’re just not good enough.\n\nIt’s fine to be upset about that, but giving the country over to someone who is cozy with Putin and our enemies? When Russia sits on our national grid again and threatens to turn it off if we don’t follow its demands we’ll see how in control of your country you really are.

Ahaha, lithuanian national)) those people always repeat how much they love their country, along with polish and Ukrainians, but the first chance given they all just move somewhere else ...and of course it's ALL Putin's fault

The Chinese president is thinking that whether or not he is going to sign to enter the Brecs because the Brecs is sinking the most powerful dollars Putin is always alone, everyone turns their backs on Putin and thanks to the United States for being the most powerful in the world and also with the nato nato arriva usa and many congratulations putin is hell and terrorist fonal trump and putin deserve to take them to prison ??????

Canada is always choosing the worst immigrands, those who are ready to work they are deported, but who suspected to accused for terrorists crimes are re-integrated with no prison sentence. Wtf for real, canadian politician are the most lost in hole world, very disscrastfull. Trudeau think he can stand easy agains russian with a poor army, Putin thinks Trudeau and canda are what so called cheese-land.
