There is a clip where he goes to visit troops after getting elected, and one of the fascists just laughs at him when he says he's the president and the army has to do what he says. So, I think it was made clear to him who was actually running things right from the start. It's possible that he genuinely believed his platform before the election, but given who his backers were it should've been obvious that they had no interest in any sort of reconciliation.

To be fair, I think his main goal was to show that he personally still has support from the US. This gives him an upper hand in the palace intrigue that's going on in Ukraine right now. Ultimately, he just wants some breathing room to plan his escape when the whole thing collapses.

That's probably what they were going for, but definitely felt kind of hamfisted to me.

Exactly, it's shockingly blunt and honest. They don't try to sugar coat it in any way, which was really amazing to me. Perhaps it wasn't expect to be made public?

wonder if the propagandist who wrote the article was aware enough to realize that

Yeah that's the one, I remember it because the other amazing bit was this

Indigenous peoples are formally involved in the governance of unceded territories across Canada, including in densely populated areas.

They just straight up admit that Canada is occupying sovereign indigenous land

I really hope these idiots don't drag us into WW3. It's certainly looking more likely by the day though.

Didn't CSIS put out a report how they see people rising up against the government once they realize how fucked they are economically as one of the major risks going forward? I bet that's what all the beefing up of military is about.

Absolutely hilarious to see how the witch hunts are fuelling brain drain to China.

Indeed, seems like the only people who want ware are the media and the government.

Weird how Russian state owned industry doesn't have this problem.
