Financial Times: White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group
Peter Navarro wants to increase pressure on country that Donald Trump has threatened to annex

A top White House official has proposed expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network as Donald Trump increases pressure on the country he talks about turning into the 51st US state.

Peter Navarro, one of the US president’s closest advisers, is pushing for the US to remove Canada from the Five Eyes — which also includes the UK, Australia and New Zealand — according to people familiar with his efforts inside the administration.

G7 still discussing joint statement on Russia's full-scale invasion due to disagreement with US

by Kateryna Hodunova February 25, 2025 12:20 PM

The Group of Seven nations (G7) is still discussing a joint statement on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine due to disagreements with the U.S., Reuters reported on Feb. 25, citing Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly.

"We've been working, indeed, with the Europeans and Americans. We are still having some conversations," Joly said during the briefing when asked about the statement's status.

Joly's statement comes after the U.S. joined Russia and Belarus in voting against a U.N. resolution condemning Russia's full-scale invasion on Feb. 24.

"Canada and other countries don't agree with the position that the U.S. advocated at the UN, particularly the resolution they brought up," Joly said.

Washington also opposes the wording "Russian aggression" in any joint G7 statement on the war, according to Reuters.

"It is a fluid situation, and we'll continue to engage, but I've been foreign minister now for three years and a half, and it's never been so intense in terms of diplomatic engagement, to say the least," Joly added.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz both declined to explicitly name Russia as the aggressor in Fox News interviews. Hegseth referred to the war as "a very complicated situation" when asked if Russia attacked Ukraine unprovoked.

U.S. President Donald Trump also chose not to label Russian President Vladimir Putin a dictator while responding to journalists on the sidelines of a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Feb. 24.

Trump called the Ukrainian leader a "dictator" in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, accusing him of refusing to hold elections and repeating false claims about the war in Ukraine.

Yet, Trump's remarks disregard Ukraine's constitution, which prohibits elections under martial law, and echoed the narratives of Russian propaganda.

It is also in Turkey‘s interest to play both sides like a fiddle. That has been their strategy for the last 20 years and it is paying massive dividends for them. Why disrupt things by aligning more directly with Russia?



I don't think they would, but if we leave a void there they might seek to fill it.

I didn't personally say any of those things, but lets look at them.

He needs to get his facts straight, it was just geese out of the local parks.

What would you call what happened under Biden?

Why did the people most directly impacted (those on the border) swing harder to Trump than any other areas in the US?

Would you argue that they were necessary, or good for you? Even knowing what we know now?

You know, I bet you'd have less time to complain about Russian bots if you just went to the front lines to fight for that dictator Zelensky, where Ukraine is losing. Or you can just continue being a paid Ukraine supporter.

They are usually independent from factual or unbiased reporting

Wasting time and print on condemning the US over statements about anniversaries and useless resolutions is pretty much how we got to the Trump era.

There is a war going on that everyone knows won't be definitively won by Ukraine, and dozens of people will die tomorrow and the next day and the next and that won't change the ending to the conflict, but the "international community" is very upset about the resolution and delay in the anniversary statement.

Lunatic Keith doesn't believe that we were invaded by illegals that Biden and Heels Up allowed in. He called them asylum seekers. He 100% supports our country being invaded by any illegals. Take a look at Europe, especially GB, that is his dream. He is a nut.

They are all for the war as long as someone else is doing the fighting and dying.

John Bolton and Bill Kristol types.

FORBES: Trump Confirms He’s Serious About Wanting Canada As 51st State

President Donald Trump is serious about his repeated suggestions that Canada should become the U.S.’ “51st state,” he confirmed in an interview that aired before the Super Bowl on Sunday, after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned the country’s business leaders Trump’s desire to absorb the northern country—which had been taken as a joke—is a “real thing.”

FoxNews: Trudeau says Trump is serious about Canada becoming 51st state: reports

In a closed-door meeting with Canadian business and labor leaders, Trudeau reportedly affirmed that Trump’s ambitious aims of annexation are "a real thing."

"Mr. Trump has it in mind that the easiest way to do it is absorbing our country and it is a real thing.”


again... if you threaten someone do you expect them to take you seriously or just think you're full of shite?
