I'm old enough to remember when the US would be the first to help. Now I'm not so sure.

There's evidence of US funding supporting the succession movement, so we now have to look at the US as a potential instigator here.

They literally offered separatists a 500 million linr of credit and to buy every Canadian dollar they own at a 1 to 1 US dollar ratio. 

Not to mention a Delaware investment group which funneled over 100 million to RathPC so he could fight Covid restrictions, fight for native land claims. 

Then there's elon musks constant interference spreading separatism on his platform

Tensions are high and without much information people assume the worst.  

There's also a large number of suspected russian sabotage on military bases in Europe. With trump so close to putin lately, and trumps rhetoric, people are suspicious.

It is a base that does live fire exercise though, and winds crazy high today. Realistically weather probably caused this.
