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

If y'all ask our economically developed states will fight on your side. Just promise us you'll adopt us afterwards

Thwre is never a permanent ally or permanent enemy in the context of countries and alliances.

USSR was an "ally" until the the axis lost, then immediately became an enemy overnight. Japan then went through the occupation and changed from an enemy into an "ally of the US.

China (ROC), was once an ally of the us, then CCP took over and became an enemy, then the "Opening Up and Economic reforms" happened and now the US and China are sort of "frienemies", but now with trump's tariffs, its enemies again.

Heck, the US revolted against UK, and now they are sort of allies all the way throught the world wars until now with trump's isolationism.

There is no "allies" or "enemies", just temporary co-operations and competitions

I'm American and I'd be 100% on your side, there is every reason to not be in the US, you don't deserve our fate.

For Canada's population they are a remarkable country, but even so, for Canada to win a war they don't need to fight, they only need to walk backwards and wait for winter.

Trump says it himself when he says 51st state.

[leadore@lemmy.world]

But he did shut it down. The office was cordoned off, the flag and signage removed, administrative employees placed on leave and overseas employees ordered to return home. Leaving massive amounts of food and medicine to spoil on ships.

Yes, a judge has ordered a "pause" on the shutdown, but we haven't seen them go back to work so far, we'll see what happens Monday. Point is he's doing illegal things and daring someone to stop him. My concern is whether they'll ignore court orders. Because it's not like there's a way to enforce them other than he chooses to comply.

The BQ would change their slogan to "nous autres, on l'a l'affaire!"

[teknikal@eviltoast.org]

Trump must realise Canada one of the founding members of Nato and an attack on one is an attack on all.

Im not Canadian I should add but yeah this kind of thing really will not go well for anyone same goes for Greenland.

Also one thing Hitler and his Nazi friends have over the Business v2.0 plotters: genuine combat experience. They may be shitty people, but they also got blooded. They were willing to kill and be killed.

A fair chunk of the military minorities that Trump has alienated are veterans, and more importantly, know they will die if he got his way. On the other paw, we got Proud Boys, ICE, and the Xitler Youth. That bunch, as a general rule, are cosplayers. I suspect this what it would look like if they went up against minority soldiers:

[tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Utterly suicidal, to the point of actually being traitors to their own nation.

Well boy do I have news for you

[sabinstargem@lemmings.world]

I am hoping that it would be The Blue States, NATO, and Mexico dog-piling Vichy America. Behind the Bastards theory of "Fuck that guy." at work.

[sabinstargem@lemmings.world]

One big worry I have is about the fate of the Project 2025 authors. Elon Musk and Trump could easily become the fall guys for this whole fiasco, allowing Yarvin's Cabal to escape justice. ALL of the Business v2.0 plotters need to be put on trial and executed.

Don't get me wrong, I'd expect the US to occupy us very quickly, but it to take a very long time for things to calm down

[lustyargonianmana@lemmy.world]

He is Putin's pawn

Wrote up a summary months ago (with reputable sources!) and warned about Nazis too and was permabanned from Lemmy news and politics for it.

Idk man, you can tell people stuff, but it’s so hard for them to access what’s real right now. There’s a concerted online effort to suppress factual info.

[carbonbasednpu@lemm.ee]

you're right. On both points I feel a little like I got transported into one of the bad twilight zone episodes. The ones with out a moral that just say "damn wouldn't that suck"

[yetibeets@lemmy.world]

Australians are pissed. We have been right with the yanks in "America 1st" for decades and we get looked over again

[rabber@lemmy.ca]

Lol that would probably look like the Winter War where Finns were vastly outnumbered but still won because they know how to survive the winter. I hope the americans wear body cams when they invade. It will be very satisfying to watch the Rocky Mountains literally kill them.

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I like your fighting spirit. I look forward to calling you my countryman.

[rabber@lemmy.ca]

Alberta and SK are more closely aligned with blue. Our conservatives are leftist compared to your democrats.

We don't have any red.
