Considering Canada owns $426B of US debt, it appears a certain former bank Governor is in on the play.
Might have brought this strategy together for EU, during their multitude of meetings, perhaps?

⚡️ “I don’t watch anyone questioning Ukraine,” President Zelenskyy said as he announced a reset of the Presidential Office and the resignation of its head Andriy Yermak.

Lots of posts about "no win for Zelenskyy" or "question Zelenskyy's sanity" which seem to be more about denegrating him than posting facts.

Zelenskyy wants peace, but NOT with trump's/kremlin's "plan". He has not accepted that plan at all.

Ukraine will not give up teritory, russia must.

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.
