Let’s start in Brazil.
G20 leaders gathered for their annual summit, but something was different this time:
The final statement on Ukraine was watered down.
No mention of Russia. No condemnation of the invasion.
A stark contrast to previous strong stances. What changed?

The world’s priorities are shifting:
• Middle East tensions escalating
• Inflation hitting record highs
• China’s economy struggling
Ukraine fatigue is setting in. Even traditional allies are hesitating.
But Trudeau is doubling down…

At the summit, Trudeau made a bold move:
He publicly criticized the G20’s “weak” statement on Ukraine.
Even as other Western leaders stayed quiet, he pushed for stronger language.
Trudeau’s stance isn’t just about Ukraine:

He’s positioning Canada for what’s coming.
Which is Trump’s return to the White House in January
But this idiot is leading us into war.
And it’s going to blow up in his face…
rump’s allies are already criticizing Biden for:
• Authorizing long-range missiles to Ukraine
• Escalating tensions with Russia
• “Trying to start World War III”
Yet Trudeau openly praised these decisions.
Why play a game like this with your biggest trade partner?!
Remember what happened last time?
The first time Trump was president, he:
• Called Trudeau “weak and dishonest”
• Imposed tariffs on Canadian goods
• Stormed out of the G7 summit
History could repeat itself—but worse.
And Trudeau’s timing couldn’t be more awful:
Canada hosts the G7 next year.
With Trump back as president.
It’s like Trudeau is already setting up for confrontation.

But the bigger problem is global support for Ukraine is weakening.
The G20’s watered-down statement isn’t just words – it’s a signal:
The world is tired of this conflict.

Even Biden is struggling to maintain support:
• Republicans blocking aid packages
• NATO allies reducing commitments
• Public attention shifting elsewhere
Yet Trudeau’s pushing harder than ever.
The risk with this stance is Canada will find itself isolated:
We’re already overextended with our non-existent military, and now Trudeau seems to want to alienate us from the US and Trump.
Then he breaks with G20 consensus.
All while ignoring our own domestic challenges.
It feels like Trudeau is betting big on principle.
But in geopolitics, timing is everything.
And right now, he’s swimming against a powerful tide.
Doesn’t he realize the consequences he might be running into?

• Strained US relations when we need them most
• Economic backlash from trading partners
• Reduced international influence
Does this idiot realize his stance is becoming more unpopular every day?
The world is changing rapidly.
Ukraine fatigue is real.
And sometimes, the bravest leadership isn’t about standing firm…
It’s about knowing when to adapt.
But Trudeau has never shown he knows how to do that.
