You know how everyone rightly condemned Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s support for pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine’s eastern Donbass and other regions before Putin stopped pretending and then just attacked Ukraine? Wasn’t the first time he’d done it as Vlad had previously pulled the same imperialist move in the Republic of Georgia in 2008 and has also toyed with doing it to Moldova, a significant portion of which is controlled by the unrecognized “Transnistria” state.
Yeah so the Financial Times reports that the Trump Regime here is similarly legitimizing Alberta’s separatist movement, welcoming one particularly far-right group called the Alberta Prosperity Project to the State Department headquarters at least three times since last April.
“The US is extremely enthusiastic about a free and independent Alberta,” said the APP’s legal counsel Jeff Rath, adding his group has a “much stronger relationship” with the Trump administration than with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Jesus freaking Christ.
