looking after thems....The Canadian Armed Forces has deployed “gender advisors” to such conflict zones as Ukraine and Haiti, a recent internal report has revealed. The deployments were part of the Department of National Defence’s Military Cooperation Program, which primarily provides advice and assistance to non-NATO countries. According to the 2024 report, the initiative has helped train nearly 2,000 military personnel from 55 countries. It has focused on the “integration of women and gender perspectives in the armed forces.” “Gender Advisors and Gender Focal Points,” both full- and part-time roles, are deployed in all CAF international operations to help “Commanders in the application of GBA+ and gender perspectives”institutionally and operationally. The abbreviation stands for Gender-Based Analysis Plus - a commitment introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion across all government departments. “In 2023, notable opportunities to apply Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) and intersectional perspectives to operational support occurred in Poland, Ukraine, Haiti, and Latvia,” the report details. In Poland, Canadian gender advisors and gender focal points are said to have connected with “local and Ukraine-based non-governmental organizations and interested parties” among other activities. In Haiti, the efforts have led to “intersectional factors being applied towards stabilization and humanitarian efforts in the country,” the DND claims. The report concludes that implementing the GBA Plus program has enhanced the Canadian military’s “cognition of the gender considerations and inclusivity” – something that has presumably translated into “mission success.” However, True North, a media outlet, quoted Andrew MacGillivray, president of the Canadian group Veterans for Freedom, as criticizing the growing emphasis on gender analysis. He argued that GBA Plus has strayed from its original purpose of addressing the needs of female service members regarding equipment. MacGillivray asserted that the initiative has now become a “burdensome policy” that has affected every aspect of the Canadian Armed Forces. MacGillivray also expressed doubt that “countries at war or in a humanitarian crisis that we are trying to help care about gender nonsense being pushed by Canada when they are struggling to keep people alive.” In September, the US Navy commissioned its first-ever “fully gender-integrated” submarine, with plans to build all future vessels according to these standards. These include, among other things, increased privacy in sleeping areas and restrooms. Earlier this year, Fox News cited a leaflet issued by the US intelligence community’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Office as extolling the supposed benefits of cross-dressing for intelligence officers. https://www.rt.com/news/609703-report-canadian-military-gender-advisors-ukraine-haiti/

Zelensky digging own grave with ‘9/11-style’ attacks on Russia – US military analyst
Ukrainian drone attacks on civilian targets in Russia will anger Moscow but won’t change course of the war, Daniel Davis has said
Kiev is shooting itself in the foot with its self-styled quest for revenge on Russia, retired US Army officer Daniel Davis warned during the weekend, in his YouTube show Deep Dive. The retired lieutenant colonel and veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan was referring to the Ukrainian drone and missile attacks launched this week on the Russian cities of Rylsk and Kazan.
“The Ukrainian side has to understand that it is not necessarily going to help anything. In fact, it could make the end result even worse,” said Davis, who is currently working as an analyst at a Washington-based think tank. According to the retired officer, the attacks that apparently hit civilian targets had almost no military value and are absolutely unable to change the situation on the frontlines, which is currently not favorable for Kiev’s troops.
Instead, those attacks are bound to provoke an angry response from both Russian officials and society and eventually only contribute to the spiral of violence, in which both warring parties are involved in, Davis said.
“The choice of targets had no apparent military relation. All it is going to do is stir up the hornets’ nest,” he said. According to Davis, Kiev apparently sought some revenge for a recent Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital that apparently targeted a facility belonging to the Ukrainian security service – the SBU – and tried to raise support among its belligerent supporters.
The retired lieutenant colonel described the Ukrainian drone strikes against apartment blocks in Kazan as resembling the terrorist attacks against the US. In his YouTube show, he also demonstrated videos of the drones smashing into the high-rise buildings in the Russian city, causing powerful explosions.
“It’s like 9/11,” he said. Davis also blasted the whole concept of what he called “a tit-for-tat conflict competition with Russia” as entirely wrong, arguing that it “can only make it worse for Ukraine.”
“What is the [intended] objective? What do you want to accomplish?” he asked rhetorically, adding that claims that such attacks could force Russia into a negotiating position that could be more favorable for Kiev are nothing but “fiction” and “fantasy.”
“When it comes to negotiations, this side will be a lot less willing to have a negotiated settlement that has anything positive for the Ukrainian side,” Davis said, adding that “there is a lot of anger on the Russian side demanding a much tougher response from [President] Vladimir Putin.”
Putin already vowed a tough response to the attacks earlier on Sunday. Anyone who tries to destroy anything in Russia “will face many times greater destruction in their own country for it and will also regret what they are trying to do in our country,” the president warned.
The December 21 attack on Kazan targeted residential buildings and a factory, causing damage but no casualties, according to local authorities. Officials reported eight drone strikes in total, including six on residential buildings, one on an industrial enterprise, and one which was intercepted over a river.
On Friday, Ukrainian forces also launched a missile attack on Rylsk in Russia’s Kursk Region. The strike, which employed US-made HIMARS missile systems, killed five and injured twelve others, according to the Kursk Region acting governor, Aleksandr Khinshtein.
Ukrainian troops invaded Kursk Region in early August under a pretext of getting a better “negotiating position” for future peace talks with Russia. The invasion led Putin to withdraw a peace offer he had previously put forward and demand the invading force be driven out of the Russian territory first.
