Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns in hot mic comments

Guyana is not a colony, it's an overseas department, part of France as the Normandie or whatever, just happens to be across the pacific. They quite recently voted against more autonomy.

I feel it would kinda be a :

wink wink nudge nudge

Holy shit! 3 UK and 2 French nukes just appeared in our arsenal! Would you look at that!! They even have the keys and everything!! Guess we didn't even know we had them this entire time! What were you saying now, you orange colored sack of shit?

The less of a joke it is, the more of a joke he is

Everywhere snipers are a thing, the best ones are always the ones that grew up hunting. There's a lot of really wild areas with really big game in Canada, it makes sense that some people are going to be very good with a rifle and scope.

[conicalscientist@lemmy.world]

This quite a historic geopolitical paradigm shift. It's been implicitly assumed that the two countries are forever allied out of mutual interest.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Could this really happen?

No. Just like most of his agenda so far, he's dead serious and wants to do it, but he keeps finding out he's far too inept to pull it off.

Hitler was evil AF, but he was also smart and charismatic, and he knew how to fill a government with supervillains.

Maximum effort, trump might start amassing some military on the border. When that happens watch the other news for shit they're trying to sneak by.

I'm an outsider.

Do you think the military will comply with an order to invade Canada? Usually the higher ups are pretty sane people (in the West).

[leadore@lemmy.world]

I hope you're right. I fear you're not.

I would kill and die in a war with Americans if they tried to force us into becoming Americans. I would rather die and take as many of you with me as possible than become an american

[spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Trump is trying to speedrun the destruction of the US

[sl00k@programming.dev]

Even if the higher ups somehow agree (which would be insane), the actual troops are the ground are 50% POC or minorities. I can't imagine them going through this hatred by the whitehouse and still continuing to follow orders. There will be a break in chain of command at some point.

Also peep the military subreddit on Reddit they are talking about breaking chain a lot, whether they will it's still to be tested but it's definitely indication of where things lie.

Member when this was just a south park joke?

[critfail@lemmy.world]

I mean Trump has literally forced both Canada and Mexico to move a standing army in the thousands to the borders now, so I see he is not wasting time with this casus belli.

[etterra@discuss.online]

Okay not to downplay the fucked up reality of this situation, but does it bother anyone else that the Orange Idiot thinks Canada should be just one State? And one hostile to him and his party at that, out of spite if nothing else.

[coolmatt@lemmy.ca]

How would that even work. It's an an entire country made up of provinces. We have our own provincial governments. Canada is fucking huge. How would they enter? The border spans the whole width of the continent. Do they even have a big enough military to even do that?

None of this even makes sense, it sounds like the biggest dumbest joke any president has ever came up with, besides building a wall along the opposite border, which may have started but never even finished, or turned out way too expensice to be realistic or something like that, what ever the fuck happened.

[dumbass@leminal.space]

This is the happiest I've ever seen him.

[shaggysnacks@lemmy.myserv.one]

Trumpy only smirks when he’s insulting people.

[sreudianflip@sh.itjust.works]

A lot of us grow up around long guns. Handguns are relatively rare.

[sreudianflip@sh.itjust.works]

No worries folks, any infiltration violence in resistance isn’t likely to be directed at random civilians.

A lot of vandalism, though. And some judicious sniping would be likely.

[sreudianflip@sh.itjust.works]

Yeah, a reminder to Canadians that our blueshirts (equivalent to brownshirts etc) were rounded up and interned during WW2. They got back to work somewhat right after because the country was still freakin racist, but it took until recently for actual fascism-with-Skippy to pop up again.
