Romania and Poland have apparently opened their borders to Ukrainian citizens. And Ireland too, randomly?

I am no expert but could you not send LNG to Europe like we are to China?

Obviously a lot of infrastructure needs to be built but it’s funny that the US and Europe still buy Russian energy instead of Canadian energy.

90% of microchips are from Taiwan. At a time when a lot of industries are already facing pretty severe issues because their scarcity, I’m not so sure China is going to hold off.
Strategically, wouldn’t you want to capture that market...like, immediately? We’re F’ed if that particular resource is controlled almost exclusively by hostile actors.

By we you mean the U.S? Because Canada exports zero natural gas by sea. We currently (and likely will never from our east coast) don't have any lng terminals.

Strategically I'm sure they do. But they lack the capability. For now.

What the recent conflicts have shown is just how cowardly nations are, Russia invading relatively weak countries, US bombing the hell out of Iraq but not even pretending they will intervene against Russia.

It’s not really cowardly as much as it is common sense.
I’ll take a smart coward over a dumb hero when the dumb hero would just get us nuclear war.

As much as I want to take every Ukrainian claim of success at face value, I need to be skeptical about those too.
Not necessarily that flaming ball of wreckage falling from the sky, but the totality.
