OTTAWA - Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Liberals to keep supporting Ukraine, arguing the battle against Russia is a battle that the whole world can't afford to lose.
Clinton was a keynote speaker at the party's biennial convention in Ottawa Friday night and said western government should continue supporting Ukraine in anyway possible.
"Ukraine's fight for freedom and against Russian aggression is our fight. It is not just their fight," she said. "The best way to end Putin's aggression is for Ukraine to win."
Clinton said she worked with former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev during her time as secretary of state and said Medvedev was open to economic innovation. But she said Putin, who was pulling the strings at the time, didn't want that kind of openness."If you're going to encourage people to be free thinking in business. Whoa, that's a threat to the state, eventually."She said a win against Putin in Ukraine will also cool China's ambitions to potentially invade Taiwan.
She said Ukrainians should be the only ones who decide when the war ends and they should have the west's support until then.
And yet, it is Washington that always calls the proxy shots.
"I want you to understand you're dealing with someone who is not only narcissistic and megalomaniacal, but totally untrustworthy," she said. "We have to continue to provide as much military support to Ukraine."
She must know the words well from looking in the mirror, while projecting the results upon another.
Clinton also turned to Canada's domestic politics and applauded the Liberal government's child care plan.
"It's important in today's political world to get out there and make sure people know what you've done. $10 a day for childcare that's extraordinary," she said. "The idea of a feminist set of policies of feminist economic policy is exactly where you need to be if you want to increase economic opportunity and economic output."
Clinton was on stage alongside Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. Clinton warned her that when the election comes the government will face much more online disinformation and they should prepare.
"You will be running in 2025 and you will face more online fakes — fake videos of you, fake videos of the prime minister, fake videos of other leaders of the Liberal Party," she said. "This is coming, so get ready, and try to prevent as much as you can, but also protect against it."
It is interesting that Hillary made that final meddling comment (it's calledRussianU.S. Collusion), as who is really doing the fakes is another matter. However, the so-called leftist parties, be it Canada, or the US, or the EU are putting into place many information based electronic and press countermeasures (Liberals pass resolution to expand media bailout, eliminate anonymous sources) that are posed to help insulate them further as they carry out a raft of future machinations upon citizens.
