True but at some point people will get fatigued pumping money and supplies into a proxy war.
I can see questions being raised about value for money in various countries, not just Poland.

A weakened authoritarian Russia unable to destabilize or invade its many neighbours on a whim = priceless.

Poland faces substantial threats from the Russians. Kaliningrad comes to mind. It's silly to say that Poles should see this as just another proxy war. They understand what is at stake. But domestic politics and unfortunately the Ukrainians really committed a grave error here.

What’s the result if Russians assassinate Zelenskyy in Canada tomorrow?

Is this even a remote possibility?

I'm sure Russia would if they thought they could do it successfully. Russia/Putin has a track record of assassinations on foreign soil. Guessing this is an allusion to India allegedly assassinating a separatist leader in Canada.

They sent SpecOp into Kyiv to kill Zelenskyy at the beginning of the invasion. Russia is increasingly a rogue nation. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Russians had shot down Zelenskyy’s plane over the Atlantic. Putin‘s puppets in Donbas have already shot down a Malaysian airliner, with little reaction from the West. As for a murder attempt in Ottawa or Toronto, if I was Putin I’d give it a go, I’m already a caricature of a Marvel villain.

Canada providing a further 650M in military aid over 3 years.

That really is pathetically low. This government's rhetoric on Ukraine rarely matches commitment.

Goodness. I don’t think the Russians have lost an Admiral to enemy fire since Rear Admiral Wilgelm Vitgeft was killed when the bridge of his flagship, the battleship Tsesarevich was hit by a Japanese 12” shell at the Battle of Yellow Sea. Interestingly, the battleship was not scrapped until 1924, twenty five years after she was laid down in France in 1899.

Seeing the Black Sea Fleet HQ explode from a Ukrainian double tap today was utter beauty.

And not just the Admiral. Took a chunk of the staff too. Russia perpetually having to replace leadership with less knowledgable and experienced people has long term benefits for Ukraine. And NATO.

Standing ovation by the Canadian parliament for a former nazi. Video and that word in trending in Canada, never thought I'd live to see that

It's unfortunate that he was given acclamation at such an important event.
