The Prime Minister said that, as a middle power, Canada understands how important it is to protect the rules-based international order

Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed any deal letting Russia keep Ukrainian land, saying it would encourage other countries to break international rules.

Speaking to a NATO meeting, he highlighted Canada’s $19.5 billion aid to Ukraine and stressed the need to defend global stability.

Trudeau defended his plan to raise military spending to 2% of GDP by 2032 after criticism of Canada’s low defense funding.

He warned against isolating Ukraine, saying continued support is crucial to stop further global conflicts.

    I know i shouldn’t answer to idiots but here you go:

    You and your government are two different things. If someone attack you you can defend yourself even if the government doesn’t put a gun in your hands. Some example? The 200$ drones they are using in ukraine to defend themself.

      Do you not think a trained professional military could make that guerrilla warfare more costly for the occupiers? Couldn’t an effective military simply prevent the invasion?

      Check out the CNT-FAI and how well that strategy worked for them in the late 30s.
