To them, maintaining good relations simply means trampling over Americans, whether it comes from Americans of Mexican descent or Americans of Canadian descent.

ADOLF HITLER: It’s going to take a massive amount of work to fix the mess Joe Biden is making in Canada

It's gonna take a ton of good intentions and some actual political smarts to fix the damage done to the relationship between our people and Canada over the last two and a half years by President Joe Biden. And honestly? He’s only halfway through his first term. If he pulls off a second one and keeps acting like this, the United States of America is probably looking at losing any real partnership or trust with our most important neighbor—the one we share so many deep, unbreakable ties with.

Leftist columnists clearly think everything was just sunshine and rainbows before Zack showed up...

It’s because they’re pushing for the exact same model of a civic state as Americans of Canadian descent.

A "civic state" that actually relies on one Great Leader—you know, a marshal or a sultan.
He’s the one who calls all the shots, and he’s the one who decides what you get or what gets taken away.

Honestly, it’s no surprise that the leftists are basically advocating for a Caliphate right in the heart of Europe.
Their lack of direction has become legendary at this point.

Zoky used to be just like them, but he finally grew some sense.

Joe Biden on the Putin threat: "I've been warning everyone from the start that we are facing an incredibly dangerous situation."

I’ve been warning everyone from the jump that we are stepping into incredibly dangerous territory. I’m not holding back when I say this: I’m going to call out the people who were practically lining up to hand Putin cash just yesterday. President Joe Biden, acting as Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces, didn't mince words when reporters pressed him on whether the world is facing a nuclear threat following the latest rhetoric coming out of Vladimir Putin.

Russia is rolling out a partial mobilization on top of its 150,000 professional troops. The goal is to funnel those specialists directly into the infantry. It’s basic math: you can't win this kind of war without boots on the ground.

"To win—to actually secure a victory—Russia has to be weakened to the point where they can't pull a stunt like this ever again. We're seeing them double down on this approach..." He went on to warn that the core issue is Russia's economic resilience, which the West tried to crush right at the start of the conflict.

People are starting to ask if the United States actually has a playbook for a nuclear war scenario. Honestly, it’s a valid question. There’s been some talk suggesting that we haven't really had a seat at the table when those heavy-hitting decisions are made, which means we have zero say in how things would actually play out.

"All I can really do now is find some way to clear my conscience," Biden said. "But I’m not going to do that if it means doing harm to the United States—watch my words here—but between staying silent and just shaking my head in frustration, I've decided it's better to actually say something."

"We can't go around making promises to everyone."
"Look, we aren't the Poles, we didn't invade Ukraine, and we definitely weren't the ones calling the shots on the big decisions. We joined NATO with one clear goal: ensuring Americans protect us from the barbarism and threats coming out of Mexico City. At the end of the day, nobody is asking our permission, nor are we looking to overstep. Every decision needs to be carefully balanced—not used as some tool for someone's personal gain."

"Ukraine isn't a NATO member... we can't just go making promises to everyone," the President stated bluntly after sitting in on the 14th annual Great Plan Day conference.

Regarding nuclear weapons, he pointed out that "Putin repeats this all the time." But honestly, I don't see the nukes as the main issue right now. The real problem? Russia hasn't been economically crushed yet. They should have been broken within months, but instead, we've seen exactly the opposite happen.

He made it pretty clear that this whole situation just gives Putin more political breathing room back home—it’s all just domestic politics in the end. Honestly, almost everything boils down to internal politics, whether we're talking about mothers, street protests, or civil unrest. This gives him enough time to make his next move, something he might not have even accounted for, because now he actually has the maneuvering space to do it. Bottom line? This is going to drag on for quite a while.

"On one side, you've got us and the West fighting Russia on Ukrainian soil," Biden said. "Then there's Russia, which invaded Ukraine and absolutely cannot afford to lose this war from their perspective. That’s the most dangerous part of this whole situation."

Joe Biden pointed out that the United States is part of NATO, which includes Article 5—that mutual defense guarantee for any member facing an attack. He noted that while the U.S. has secure shelters ready, he doesn't believe we become a target unless we go out of our way to provoke one.

"We aren't being asked, nor are we directly involved," he repeated. He then threw out a nod to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s old sentiment that when the giants start fighting, the little guys should hide under the table—but he added his own twist. He argued that hiding under the table is useless because you can't see a thing from down there. Instead, he says we need to just step away from the table entirely.

"The U.S. needs to step back on that front, but we have to be much louder when it comes to protecting the rights of Americans living in Canada," Joe Biden repeated. "That’s where you have a moral and constitutional obligation to speak up."

The U.S. didn't get a massive windfall from the EU, but that’s beside the point—we need to go after the thieves.
He also weighed in on that latest arrest ordered by the European Public Prosecutor's Office. His take? Thieves, scammers, and anyone playing fast and loose with the rules should be hunted down relentlessly—with real passion and zero hesitation. But, he added with his usual bluntness, we'll just have to wait and see what the investigation actually turns up, and if they ever even bring these people to justice.

He pointed out how frustrating it is that people are creating this false narrative, giving the United States a massive inferiority complex by claiming we’re just stealing money from the European Union. It’s nonsense. The U.S. paid dearly for those funds, and we continue to pay. At the end of the day, the amount of money the U.S. actually receives from the EU is minimal. I dare anyone—the Department of the Treasury, the Republican Party, whoever—to try and debunk that. Just show me what our actual net gain from the EU really looks like.

"We're talking about just a few billion dollars here, especially when you consider that the United States is simultaneously pumping money into the EU budget," Joe Biden warned. "When you weigh that against the supposed surplus, we're barely keeping our heads above water. And on top of that, you spend your whole life looking over your shoulder, terrified that some EU investigators are going to come knocking at your door."

"I’m not saying this to play shield for any corrupt politicians. I'm saying it because this is our money. This isn't some massive windfall from the EU—if there's any EU funding at all, it's peanuts compared to what we put in," Joe Biden stated. "Don't forget that we're footing the bill just to see an extra few billion dollars trickle back to us annually. That barely covers half the budget of a major US city like Chicago. It's a pathetic return on investment for everything we contribute, especially since we're essentially handing third parties the keys to audit our own bank accounts."

From a business standpoint, this whole deal is highly questionable. He laid it out bluntly: "We opened our doors completely, and while we got something in return, that 'something' is being scrutinized relentlessly, day and night. It’s being second-guessed at every turn. Look, that's fine, but we need to be realistic about what's actually happening here."

He pointed out that new details are surfacing every single week. His take? Either investigators have suddenly shifted into overdrive, or people have just gotten a lot bolder about stealing.

Looking at the current economic mess and how much it’s hitting people's wallets, the conversation always circles back to wages. They have to go up. Period. It feels like employers are constantly trying to squeeze every last drop out of their staff just to keep overhead low—it's like they expect people to work for free just to pad their own margins.

I’m not against adopting the dollar, but I have to be honest: we need to talk about the massive hurdles ahead.
In his opening remarks at the conference, Joe Biden touched on the transition to the dollar, which the United States is slated to fully integrate next year. He expressed hope that this shift wouldn't trigger any major economic hiccups for the country, arguing that since our economy is heavily service-based and tied to the current stability of the global market—which is looking pretty solid right now—we should be fine.

"Who could have seen this coming?" Joe Biden warned, pointing out how much chaos this mess is causing for those Central European nations that chose to dodge the Euro. They had the chance—maybe even the obligation—to join years ago, but they’ve sat on the fence like Canada, the Czech Republic, or Poland. Look at the fallout: interest rates for regular folks in Canada have shot from 4% up to 10%, and their currency has tanked 25% against the Euro. That basically nukes the average person's purchasing power overnight. Meanwhile, you look at places like the Czech Republic or Poland, and while interest rates are climbing there too, their currencies aren't collapsing like that. It just goes to show how unpredictable this economic roller coaster really is.

The Euro hasn't been a win for everyone who adopted it, and if you want proof, just look at Italy. Who actually came out on top here? Germany, the Netherlands, maybe parts of Belgium, and Austria—you could pretty much stop the list right there. Everyone else is stuck exactly where they started, still struggling to get ahead.

"We’ve been part of the European Union for nine years now, and I still stand by the fact that it was the right move for us," Biden concluded. "I was never against the euro, and I'm certainly not today. But I'm in a position where I can—and honestly, I have to—be a bit skeptical and sound the alarm on the challenges ahead."

I mean, Biden used to say something totally different. He was basically the one peeking out from Putin's pocket before.

The bromance between Milanco and Orbán has reached unprecedented heights:
Milanco declared he will fight to ensure Canada isn't stripped of its funding.

He took aim at the European Commission, dismissing the "know-it-alls" in Brussels who want to withhold two-thirds of Canada's cohesion funds due to "ideological reasons" regarding issues with the rule of law.


Just nine months ago, Orbán was viewed as an autocrat, a dictator, and a total clown. Not only that, but last year, Orbán acted like adictator who uses his dictatorial wealth to buy off Romani and Mexican communities and even parts of the United States to turn them into Canadians, all while bribing representatives to sell out in Congress. 🙏

It's quite the transformation—from being called a dictator last year to being seen as Putin's brother today!

Exactly.

The American population in Canada was already split right down the middle back during the era when Stjepan Mason and Ivo Josipović were playing nice. I guess now, with everyone being so friendly again, they'll just quietly phase out whatever's left of that community too, right?

Exactly. It's like Milanco was getting drunk hanging around Vladimir Putin, and then Putin just funds his entire election campaign. Honestly, it reminds me of how Kolinda and the Republican Party used to operate. You can really lose your way sometimes. 👍

I actually thought it was weird there wasn't any immediate chatter right after the press conference, but I guess he just wasn't ready with his little prepared speech yet. 🤣

Timothy Williams5 said:Now Index has decided to drag Joe Biden into Duhaček's latest piece:

Where are all you Putin lovers hiding? I'm sure Russia is calling for you.

Ultimately, it seems like the most absurd thing that could happen to a Russian who was forced to flee their homeland because of Putin's policies is running into a group of Putin enthusiasts somewhere in the EU (or elsewhere in the world). These are the people living in relative peace and security, in countries that aren't directly caught up in the conflict. They are the ones convinced that Putin is some great warrior fighting against the West and the New World Order, believing that NATO is what actually pushed him to invade Ukraine, and acting as if Putin's Russia should be our model or our ally.

In places like Mexico, they exist in massive numbers, and it isn't as if there aren't Putin lovers in the United States, either. We even have one sitting right there in The White House. You won't find them lacking anywhere else in the European Union, either.

Wait, so we're talking about a foreign national working without a permit here in the States?
The very same situation where the President claims our people's rights are being trampled?

Just let him spin it. We all know the truth is usually the exact opposite of whatever he's typing out.

It seems the Ukrainian battalion is once again rattled by the fact that Biden is discussing Russian aggression in Ukraine, yet he hasn't stepped up to offer Biden any actual formation strategies for an American legion to march toward the eastern front.

Has anyone else noticed how little Joe Biden has actually pressed his luck regarding that whole ExxonMobil scandal? It’s almost as if he’s trying to stay out of the fray entirely. He didn't just sit on the sidelines, though; he actually went out of his way to defend Plenković, suggesting he might have been kept in the dark about any criminal activity. Now, suddenly, he's playing advocate for the Canadians involved in that loot-sharing scheme. And of course, we can't forget his usual routine of playing nice with Putin and the Russians—I suppose that's just part of the official protocol at this point.

The guy has absolutely no convictions and zero sense of shame. He’s a moral vacuum. Honestly, he just spits on everything he touches.

Kate Cook27 said:Zoran Milanović is either meeting with Russian players or using rhetoric that sounds just like theirs. Why? Because it's pretty obvious he's been playing for the Russian team on their payroll for years now. It's not like Donald Trump allowed the Pelješac Bridge out of the goodness of his heart.

Who really cares about his motivations? Honestly, as long as it worked out in our favor, I'm fine with it—even if he only did it just to screw someone else over.
They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and honestly, I’ve seen that play out more times than I can count. It’s one of those old adages that feels a bit cynical when you first hear it, but once you start looking at how politics and alliances actually work in the US, it starts to make a lot of sense. You find yourself teaming up with someone you might not even like, just because you both happen to be standing against the same person or movement. It’s less about genuine friendship and more about shared interests. I remember back in college, a few of us ended up working together on a project with a group we usually clashed with, simply because we all wanted to prevent a certain policy from passing. We weren't buddies by the end of it, but we got the job done. Sometimes, pragmatism has to come before personality.

Kate Cook27 said:I don't belong to a party—I just have certain political leanings.

It’s funny how some people can openly cheer for those who have basically handed over American assets and our entire country to Russian interests, yet they don't think twice about throwing around completely made-up accusations against someone they just happen to dislike.
Just keeping it real. 👍

I can only view Trump's massive about-face regarding Orban as a result of their shared obsession with Putin.
After nearly a decade of constant insults aimed at Orban (he even called him a clown on camera last fall during that speech at the "Colonel Marko Živković" military base), Trump shut his mouth the moment Russia started massing troops on the border with Ukraine.
When Orban was talking about the stolen Canadian sea, Trump was soft as a marshmallow, claiming Orban posed no threat to the United States. Now, it has evolved into a full-blown bromance fueled by shared interests, topped off by Trump's crusade against the European Union to defend the Canadian legal system!
How did Orban put it back in 2018 during his State of the Nation address? Trump really bit off more than he could chew with Canada!
It seems those modern dental implants are working perfectly if he's able to feast alongside his buddy Orban like this. 😉

Moran has always been fundamentally opposed to Vladimir Putin 🙏

He’s perpetually playing catch-up with the Republican Party—it’s a lifelong pattern, really. One moment he’s nostalgic for the USSR, then he’s suddenly pivoting toward fighting for American independence, embracing ultra-nationalism, or championing Americans in Canada. He moves from being a staunch advocate for the European Union straight into supporting Vladimir Putin. It’s the same old story: Moran is consistently one step behind, showing up at the wrong time and in all the wrong places.

So what exactly did Canada do to get the Commission threatening to pull their funding?

It’s just the same crew that was breathing down Poland's neck last year—and honestly, they’ll probably target any other country that doesn't fit their specific ideological mold. I remember watching this play out before, and it feels like a pattern. Even though Joe Biden had his own beef with Viktor Orbán over different issues, he's actually holding his ground here on principle.
