Great take. I agree. We know this from Project 2025. Keep an eye on it but don't let it distract. Trump and cronies are using a strategy coined flood the zone to prevent coordinated opposition against them in politics and media.
I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.
An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.
This is not the first time the US has made up bullshit in order to attack a country: WMDs in Iraq, communism in Vietnam, Russia said there were nazis in Ukraine to justify that war. The military only needs a lie and then it’s not illegal anymore. The lies are already circulating. “canada is communist” “canada hurts the US”
Lol the Pentagon isn't afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.
When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?
I'm sorry but let's not forget that Iraq was a thing.
.... And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?
I know trying to make sense of the stupidity that is Trump's "plan" for America is a lost cause. But why do they speak like turning Canada into a singular state makes any god damn sense??
Also, is war inevitable? I honestly don't know. Shit is not looking good. If war breaks out, I would find a way to flee and volunteer to fight on the opposing side. No way am I supporting my country on the wrong side of history.
today seems like a good day to remember David Fagen, an American soldier who defected to fight for the Philippines against the American invasion and is remembered as a hero for it in the modern era
The US could attack Canada and they could take our cities in Southern Ontario easily, however, that would instantly deputize everyone else and there would be tens of millions of insurgents fighting asymmetrical warfare forever more. We would also destroy all the assets the US sought to take from us cause Canadians are vindictive AF. If we can’t have what’s rightfully ours neither can US invaders.
As a Minnesotan. I would never fight our northern neighbors. Fuck our government, nobody wants this except trump and his cronies.
But he commands the military. So there is that.
As a Seattlite, I’d be right there with ya if you’d have me.
Do you have a gun? Do you have ammo? Do you know how to use it? Do you have relevant and useful skills for a resistance? If not, what's stopping you?
the Greater Seattle Polycule could be turned into an underground resistance movement

I wonder if "concern of a future us invasion" is a reason that disqualifies you from getting a PAL

Yeah, I definitely don't have loyalty to fascism. Being autistic and leftist, they will want me dead. Here's hoping that I can help in some useful way.

Fuck Trump. Loser cannot die soon enough.
fucking Luigi this guy for God's sake anyone
it wouldn't be soon enough if he died 25 years ago.
His death won’t solve our problems. We’ll have Trump adjacent Russian puppet who will run and win. Trump has admitted to fixing the election, so the r’s know they can repeat their strategy again effectively.
Hopefully after the next election. We wouldn't wanna have Adolph Vance do something stupid. Like a few days to a week should be fine. Meanwhile I'd be totally fine with an increasing level of dementia? Like maybe he declares war on Mexico on Sunday, but then travels there for vacation Tuesday, then Wednesday he declares war on Mexico again from Mexico. It could get interesting. So long as he shuts down the government for most of the year, were good.
STFU about this fucking petulant imperialist nonsense. 40 million insurgents is what this orange fuckface will get. US is not getting one fucking square CENTIMETRE of Canadian land. I used metric on purpose too. fuck the USA.
It'll be more than that. There'll be millions of Americans who won't stand for it either. To think of it though, that might be the point. Something so heinous, yet legal (barely), that it legitimately compromises our security and forces martial law and a state of emergency he can exploit.
If he enforced martial law that’s within the US borders. I’ve never heard of a country being under martial law then invading another country but someone please enlighten me. He clearly wants to incite violence, I’m reading Stephen Marche’s The Next Civil War and Marche argues quite effectively that while he doesn’t know what the inciting event will be, the violence willl come from the right.

This is just a distraction to distract Americans, so they do not pay attention to all the things Krasnov Trump and Felon Musk are doing.
We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.
Okay… that made me laugh. Thanks. Needed that tonight.
I honestly hope this just fuels our country to find other, better, trade partners and to also bring in free trade between provinces.
He says the US doesn't need Canada, we should do the same.
He says the US doesn't need Canada but also wants to annex it.
The US absolutely does need Canada's natural resources. The Canadian people and its sovereignty stand between him / America and that golden goose.
If you recall the colonial era, when a stronger nation wants the resources of a weaker nation, it generally does not go well for the weaker nation.
Canada needs to accelerate the process of partnering with other nations now. It is never going to win a trade war against the US alone. Reciprocal tariffs are not going to cut it. Time to diversify the customer base and then tell the Americans to pound sand when they inevitably come knocking.
Canada is already the only G7 nation that has a free trade agreement with all other G7 nations.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.
The solution is easy. Canada is already bigger than the USA, so the US should join Canada.
I never thought that WWIII would be started by US. And US being the best buddies with Russia when they are setting the world on fire. I really hope US could get their shit back together soon. That really is a shithole country, not an inch of better than Russia. I don’t have words to describe how much I hate that shithole.
And there you have it. It was never about fentanyl. It was always about annexation (i should just call it as it is and call it invasion). And that’s why there was never anything that Canada could do to stop the tariffs.
Not much i can do from across the ocean, except join in the boycott. But i’m boycotting anything American. Not just products of red states. I want to see America burn, and for Americans to lay the blame squarely on Trump, Elon, the Republican party and the 31% of Americans who are too stupid or racist to recognise a con.

It's incredible. Trump lost it a long time ago. He has no connection to reality. He's mentally disabled. Yet world leaders now have to seriously respond to the incoherent shit that falls out of his mouth.

Good luck. We have allies and friends who still trade with us that we don't tariff. And as for all of this garbage from Americans asking us to absorb the US instead...
No. Fuck you. You made this mess, you clean it the fuck up. I would not want to touch your shitty country in a hazmat suit BEFORE this recent election. Your country is toxic waste.
If I suddenly stop posting forever in the summer it's because I saw someone wearing a Trump hat here in Newfoundland and proceeded to do some things to him that are very much illegal.
Note to any Americans coming to Canada though for any reason. Ditch the flags and hats and shit. We got tired of it a long time ago but I've outright seen people refuse to serve Americans so far who display any sort of patriotism and I kinda back them on it.
He was sitting right next to the Chair of NATO today when he said this fucking bullshit yet again. The NATO chair said NOTHING even though Orange Shittler talked about violent annexation of a G7 NATO member and (in normal times) ally of the US. Canadians - are you ready to fucking FLQ 2 electric boogaloo ??? Cause it’s looking like that more and more every day.

If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.
Two months later... OK now that Canada is the 51th state (not 51st, 51th)...the official language is English so we are deporting all the French people here illegally to France!
....Canada: ehhh we're still not a US state. WTF is wrong with Trump's dementia pills?
