Trump has nothing to worry about on a Canada-EU team-up if Canada doesn’t get serious about shipping what the EU actually needs—LNG & critical minerals. Otherwise, Trump & Putin can be assured “Elbows Up” is an empty phrase. Me for @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

⚡️Return of Ukrainian children 'number one' aim in recent ceasefire talks, Zelensky says. "It somehow disappeared from the media field. Although I think that this is the number one thing we were going for. This is an exchange for the return of our children, whom the Russians stole."

If Europe doesn’t act to seize Russia’s state assets and #MakeRussiaPay soon, Putin could end up getting a $300bn bailout. As @martinsandbu.ft.com writes, that would be a strategic catastrophe—& a betrayal of Ukraine dwarfing any by Trump thus far. www.ft.com/content/3cab...

Glad to join @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social Day Six to talk why 🇨🇦 must seize its $22bn share of Russia’s frozen state assets—and how Canada can move its share to accounts it can independently keep frozen. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Proud to have co-authored this piece with Balkan Devlen & Yuliya Ziskina on the four actions Canada must take to #MakeRussiaPay & support Ukraine. Canada has at least $22 billion in frozen Russian state assets it could transfer to Ukraine. Time to act. nationalnewswatch.com/2025/02/28/a...

A #MakeRussiaPay thread answering so common objections. An absolute no-brainer. But our political elites still won’t commit to it, despite most amounts being held in euros, CAD, GBP & AUD, rather than USD. Push. Do the smartest—and right thing. Seize. & transfer to Ukraine.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

🇬🇧 has at least £25.5bn in frozen Russian state assets. Today’s UK parliamentary motion calls on 🇬🇧 to seize them & lead on #MakeRussiaPay More than a dozen British MPs & Lords—supported by senior parliamentarians from 8 UK allies—write The Times today in support. www.thetimes.com/article/3fca...

The fact that this is one of America’s greatest public servants, not to mention still sharp and knowledgeable at 100 years of age, should count extra. He speaks out for love of country!

Yes. That’s the point. Musk wants the United States to collapse. His sort of oligarch sees local fascists as a tool to destroy the functioning democratic state everywhere.

Trudeau hasn’t acted—despite Freeland’s initial push—to take $20 billion CAD in frozen Russian state assets to support 🇺🇦 He didn’t want to save 🇨🇦 taxpayers $20 bn to support 🇺🇦 by confiscating 🇷🇺 blood money. But a $62 bn deficit to buy votes was ok. Fire him. At the 🗳️ box.

Senior Fellow @aarongburnett.bsky.social talks to MLI’s Double Trouble about why seizing ALL $300bn in frozen Russian assets is legal, economically feasible & a strategic imperative If we’re serious about securing Ukraine & winning systemic competition it’s time to #MakeRussiaPay t.co/KnVELwbjYk

Repping @dsi-strategy.bsky.social on MLI’s “Double Trouble” this week! We talk how Canada can #MakeRussiaPay by seizing about $20 billion of frozen Russian state assets denominated in CAD. It helps Ukraine & costs taxpayers nothing. Do it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRs6...

Finland, a country with a long border with Russia and in striking distance to crucial Russian bases such as Murmansk naval port, Olenya air base or even Sankt Petersburg, joint NATO in 2023, but no Russian missiles or drones hit the country when it announced that it wants to join the alliance.
