This is my first post on lemmy so bear with me. Last week someone associated with the US govt floated the idea of kicking Canada out of the Five Eyes network. A week later… would you look at that. Thoughtless and unwarranted actions have consequences.

      Why should one of the eyes (Canada) help the country trying to annex it through economic means?

          So is annexing/crippling your ally or cutting off all aid to Ukraine (including intelligence)

              Yeah, that’s fair. Admittedly I think the US would has even warned Russia of impending terrorist attacks (before the US and Russia became good friends)

                The US has informed Russia of suspected upcoming terrorist attacks, under a “duty to warn” policy. Iran, too. Whether that information was sufficient or useful, we have only the State Department’s word, but it is still worth noting.

                  Yeah, I actually meant to write has instead of would. I was actually thinking of the concert hall attack when writing my comment

                  Oops, I wrote “would” but I actually meant to write “has”. The concert hall attack was exactly what I had in mind writing my comment
