17th biggest in the world. I was surprised when I learned that.

It never occurred to me that authors would do that, but of course they would.

And then the Trump will invade Iran to open it citing it must remain open.

I'd say annexed Crimea. (Unless that's what you meant)

Israel would have scratched their butt, then made up another reason to bomb them.

Don't ya know, he ended the war in Ukraine on day 1!

LESS lethal rounds.

These rounds can still be lethal and people die all the time from "non lethal" rounds.

military targets that likely didn't resolve in any, or very few deaths at that.

Maybe someone was working on a plane randomly, but the runways seemed pretty empty.

Do that a couple times to the point the Russians don't believe it, and then use the correct targets expecting the Russians to protect the other nearby targets like last times instead.

I guess that story a few days ago saying an attack was going to happen was true after all.

I'm hopeful that it really is just a temporary thing given the Trump situation and with a new leader and that behind us (might take more than 1 term of course) that they'll be able to come back stronger and make the Liberals advance things they wouldn't otherwise again. Also you never know, maybe they'll get some leverage with the current set up, but seems less likely for this term.

but if I’m not mistaken the universal pharma and dentalcare we have now were initiatives pushed by the NDP that the Liberals get credit for because they were the ones holding the PM seat.

No one who has any political awareness would give the liberals credit for that. That was the NDP's contribution.
