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

[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

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.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

It might be alienating veterans, But he hasn't yet done anything to alienate the act of military and large swaths of the active military, read most, are from impoverished deep red areas

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

And if Trump didn't have cassus belli before, they would definitely use that...

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

Right now, he's shooting in a bag and handing it around if that doesn't cause massive protests in the general public to kick his ass out then he Will probably eventually find a truffle.

The country was dismantled in his last term when the Supreme Court was turned into a Nazi sock puppet.

There's no checks and balances yet we're not going to get any better until all those fuckers go.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

This daughter fucker is already in the proverbial history books, he doesn't have to worry there.

Unfortunately, it will come down to who's still standing when the dust settles to determine how truthfully he's portrayed.

[prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

LOL so funny! Because international relations is the same as playing pretend at recess.

[theacharnian@lemmy.ca]

I'd say you guys are already honorary Canadians, but I'm told I shouldn't fuck with Minnesota, so I'll just do a friendly nod as I hold the door and wish you a nice day neighbour and please give my best to yours and if your kids are up for it my kids wanted to do that playdate, so would pizza be ok, let us know if there are any allergies we should know about.

[selokichtli@lemmy.ml]

Yes, absolutely, you are an American. Nobody needs a damn atomic bomb. Not even the USA in WWII. If Trump tries to take Canada by force, it's the end for him. The enemies of the USA will find all the wholes they need in USA's northern and southern borders. For the first time in a long time, war would be fought in USA territory, and everyone would know who caused it.

[ilikeboobies@lemmy.ca]

The funny thing is they were saying the same thing in public

Only in private did they say the worry was real

[hathaway@lemmy.zip]

Eh, with current events, most of us would take that title with open arms. However, title only, our work of undermining the current administration is just getting started. Most of us would rather be Canadian, but think about the chaos we will sew from the inside out.

Anyway, sounds great, only allergies are fascists, thanks.

[fluxx1@lemm.ee]

US is like a bully. But a huge, strong, armed bully, which is now also crazy and looks unpredictable. I doubt the rest of Nato, especially this castrated, limp EU would do anything to protect Canada. They would frown and condemn the us verbally, but probably watch from afar. That's my impression at least.

[selokichtli@lemmy.ml]

Can Americans just own their own dictator and expanding philosophy, please? Americans have been invading nonstop since they started to exist, Putin wasn't even a spermatozoid. If there is an encyclopedia on this, it is written in English.

[mnemnosyne@sh.itjust.works]

It would mean that whatever the US might hope to gain from invading Canada would be dwarfed by what the US would lose in the conflict.

The problem is this is already the case. Nuclear weapons may make it even more lopsided, but the country is already losing more than it stands to gain from an invasion purely on the economic results.

[nyamlae@lemmy.world]

It's been implicitly assumed that

Society seems to be built on a lot of obviously untrue assumptions.
