Canada will send weapons to Ukraine, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday.

“I’ve approved the provision of $7.8 million worth of lethal equipment and ammunition,” Trudeau told reporters.

He said the move is in response to “Ukraine’s specific request,” with the intent of deterring “further Russian aggression.” Other countries including the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands are also sending arms, Trudeau said.

 

We don't have functioning weapons, do we, Justin?

A South Korean election and a senile American installed in the Oval Office:

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met his Japanese and South Korean counterparts Saturday in Hawaii to discuss the threat posed by nuclear-armed North Korea after Pyongyang began the year with a series of missile tests.

Blinken said at a news conference after the meeting that North Korea was “in a phase of provocation” and the three countries condemned the recent missile launches.

“We are absolutely united in our approach, in our determination,” Blinken said after his talks with Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and South Korean Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong.

He said the countries were “very closely consulting” on further steps they may take in response to North Korea, but didn't offer specifics.

The three released a joint statement calling on North Korea to engage in dialogue and cease its “unlawful activities.” They said they had no hostile intent toward North Korea and were open to meeting Pyongyang without preconditions.
