Trump doubles down on annexation threat, says Canada would be ‘cherished state’
-
September 11, 2001, all planes were grounded in North America, and Gander has an airport under flight routes.

Anyone making “thanks trump” stickers for when our gas prices go through the roof and stick it at gas stations like they did with Biden

Americans like to think of themselves as heroes, fighting for what's right, upholding the constitution etc. But if you look at history Americans again and again chose to simply do nothing. You reached late Roman decadence.
Here a candidate voted with the far right and a week later, one million people were on the streets. Population adjusted that would be 5 million Americans. That was a small protest for us. And that's nothing compared to the French. I looked at the biggest American demonstrations and this one demo, a regular Sunday for us, would have been the third biggest in the US, population adjusted, or the seventh biggest, not adjusted.
All these talks of civil war.. You cannot even move your ass to go to a demo. You think regular Americans are actually going to look at a Bradley, who can kill all the inhabitants of a house with one shot, and go like "yep, time to strap on the suicide vest!"
Even those militia types.. Look at them. How far do you think they can run on average? How far with a backpack? They are just LARPing. 80% will stay home, 4% will go back home after the beer runs out, 15% will rat the others out to the Gestapo.

Well the veneer of respectability politics scratched. It's like people getting drunk it's not that alcohol makes violent, or sobby, or anything in particular: It disinhibits (by anaesthetising the frontal lobe before everything else), allowing already-existing but usually under control tendencies to break through.

That's a lot of work, I appreciate it.

The US has been a rogue state for decades. Just that they used to be smart enough to keep some countries in the empire aligned without direct military force.

Post Sept 11, (lots of) flights were grounded for several days.

Holding a country that doesn’t want to be held is very different than winning it, as the US and other countries have repeatedly learned.
And the unpopularity at home would make Vietnam look like nothing.
No, it would be a disaster for the US. A very different one than Ukraine, but maybe even worse.

With life time of insurgency.

Russia wants it. They want our mineral rights in our North. They can get that for pennies if we lose our sovereignty.

They're not even hiding the racism any more.

Agree with you but I'll also throw out- protests do fuck all here. Those in power ignore and then we move on with life. It's just the truth.
Until you threaten their money or lives it won't do shit and plenty of people are happy enough to hold signs and pat themselves on the back saying they made a difference.
