ANALYSIS | U.S. interest in Alberta separatism raises red flags over what might come next | CBC News

Communications between the Trump administration and Alberta's separatist movement raised alarm at the highest levels in Canada last week.

Some even see dangerous parallels between American efforts to inflame Alberta separatism and the Russian campaign to gin up a separatist movement in eastern Ukraine a decade ago.

Kharkiv used to be one of most populous cities in Ukraine. Its closed proximity to border with Russia now makes it a victim of daily brutal attacks. Russians literally bomb it each and every day. On this video you can see a moment of russian precision-guided bomb hitting a target right in the city, most probably an energy infrastructure, as lights immediately goes down.

"The only solution for Europe is to upscale its green energy policy into a "war-like economy," said Thomas Pellerin-Carlin, head of the EU program Institute for Climate Economics

"The EU is not at war with Russia, but it needs to scale up its weapon production to help Ukrainians, and energy is the only real leverage Putin has on Europeans," he said.

The bloc needs to focus on factors it can control, namely renewable energy, energetic sobriety, and energetic efficiency.

"The question is how many million Europeans are willing to reduce heating to save gas — if everyone was making more effort, we'd already be independent of Russian gas."

Europe still hooked on Russian gas despite deep cut

Russia's war in Ukraine was a watershed moment for Europe. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which has killed tens of thousands and forced millions out of the country, Russia sought to punish the European Union for supporting Kyiv. Russia
