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

Youre talking about countries. I do not care abouy contries. Bombs do not protect people, guns do not protect people.

Killing peoples with guns in third world country to avoid killing with bombs in eu/na is not a win. Getting bombs or guns just temporarily deflects the violence on someone else. The day everyone has bombs, wars wont stop.

You cannot want a safe world for people and want bombs at the same time. It is only viable if you think abouy nations instead of people, but who cares?

We fucking love Minnesota. You guys are awesome.

[mpony@lemmy.world]

You must be in the East if you think

[hathaway@lemmy.zip]

Well, starting with the civil war Hancock would, if I remember correctly, go on to credit MN for essentially winning the battle that turned the war.

We can start going more modern from there, however, in terms of straight state pride, fuck the slaveowners. Fuck unjust governments.

I would deeply, deeply hope that American soldiers would never follow an order to attack Canada. For all of the Trump insanity, I still have hope that most people aren't batshit like him.

[hathaway@lemmy.zip]

Mexico already had 10k troops on the border.

This reads like some edgy teen wannabe version of realpolitik... Grow up.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Dude it's been all of two weeks. I wouldn't say he's failed at any of these things yet, only delayed in some cases.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Sorry, but no. You might have brain damage if you think he's funny.

[phr34ky@lemmy.world]

They know that China will defend us.

[ouch@lemmy.world]

As a finn, not sure I would call it a lost war to keep independence against an enemy that has superior manpower and resources at their disposal in comparison.

And half is not even close to the truth.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

But also like, what if that was what he's doing... Why is this funny again? This is the president, why would we want someone who jokes about serious shit like that in charge??

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I'd rather come up there and die for Canada

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

you have brothers and sisters in the US that will help.

They'll intern and deport them

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I have a theory that our kindness is actually just a lack of honesty or directness, or in harsher words, spineless.

Sounds like the US Midwest

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

I'm not sure that you could say any of those people are super anything

[theeighthdoctor@lemmy.zip]

So basically, strategically, Canada should get the bomb and become allies with China, since it's the only country that can match the US military

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

He had no idea that 2 billion in farm subsidies came from it. He's going to have to find some way to twist that to make it work.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

I remember playing that one FO3 dlc where you're fighting in Alaska (in a simulator maybe?)... I always thought that was one of the more plausible plot lines in the series.
