I just don't understand how he got caught on this thought? I'm no foreign policy wonk, but I just don't get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It's like a weird parody that I don't know enough about to understand.
Is he just Putining?
Some believe it’s a distraction. A Flood the Zone tactic.
I hope for everyone’s sake- this is true. If Trump wants to destroy America, so be it. One could argue we deserve it. But this doesn’t need to involve Canada in any capacity.
And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?
NEVER stop saying those things. Make sure history does not forget what he was.
Id be down to let Canada and Greenland into the EU. Give Trump a big fuck you.
What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn't say that, Trudeau said it.
All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.
If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.
We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who
I've been posting this in a couple places - but it's not Vietnam, right? It's Ireland and the Troubles. Only - on a scale that makes the Troubles look like a block party. And I say that aware that the Troubles was a decades long conflict that piled bodies sky-fucking-high and never truly healed. It wasn't solved by a U2 song.
Alternatively its another Afghanistan only when you accidentally blow up a hospital full of locals instead of the enemy combatants you thought they were you're actually blowing up your own people, in your own hospital in your own house.
now imagine not knowing who is who
Unless they require you to pronounce “out” at roadblocks
There are also like 1 million of us within their borders.
Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn't take, "No", for an answer?
No means yes, no.
Yeah he's not considering consent of people in other countries at all.
Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it'd be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, "preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security".
How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like "yeah, makes sense".
Well, the best place for the stiff is a pine box 1.8m below grade
Nah, shallow grave. Not worth the effort of a proper burial.
Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷♂️
"Make America Great Again" has always been a slogan for making rich Americans richer while poor Americans are distracted by the culture war.
This might sound weird, but I honestly think there's now an opportunity for the Left to take the slogan as their own. There could be blue MAGA hats instead of red ones, acknowledging that America has truly fallen and needs to be resuscitated.
If we actually did full blown maga, it wouldn't be red or blue. We would have to become way way more libertarian. At this point, I'm thinking maybe we should not even have a president, and only have the house and senate. Illegal executive orders have given too much power to the presidents.
We should move towards direct voting.
