It’s blatant extortion now.
Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn’t take, “No”, for an answer?
And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, rapist, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?
Edit: forgot rapist, so hard to remember everything he’s so shitty
Trump needs to be removed for this and it’s not an exaggeration to say there are at least a dozen other unconstitutional things he’s done that he should be removed for as well. But the GOP-held congress doesn’t care about the constitution either so this is only going to continue to get worse.
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”.
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
The US’ most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don’t need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.
In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this
We need our own nuclear force.
How would that help?
Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.
I genuinely thinks he also wants to annex canada though
It’s very interesting that he is criminalizing climate change, while seeking to take over the lands that would benefit from climate change.
There’s another fella across the ocean that is accelerating climate change because it will benefit his country.
Remember Greenland… He seems like he forgot now.
He’s still saying he wants to invade Greenland and Panama.
Two days ago he had the head of NATO with him in the Betrayal Room of the Oval Office and he talked about annexing Greenland.
The press was there (of course) so there’s video of it, not as shouty as the Ukraine betrayal, but Trump is still busy with betraying every single ally of the US.
If he makes Canada a state, he loses control of Congress.
He would never do that.
He would never let Canadians vote. He may never let Americans vote again.
Are you really delusional enough to believe this?
Is this really how far gone you people are on these forums?
Are you so delusional with American exceptionalism that you don’t think it’s possible for democracy to end in US.
You’re going down the exact same path that many other countries have. In all likelihood there will still be elections in the US as there are in Russia. But you should expect the elections in to be rigged in the same way as they are in Russia.
He’s already convinced a lot of people that the elections are already rigged, so it’s likely they will “fix” what he’s called a rigged system.
Media control is already well underway, same as Putin did.
You’re twisting your brain into knots to justify all the anti-american propaganda you’ve been fed by news outlets who profit off of your anger.
Come to the United States and see how out of touch you are with reality.
Is your brain so twisted you don’t see the President of the USA saying he wants to annex my country?
That’s real, it’s not propaganda. He said it. I’m looking at the words of the of the President of the USA, what are you looking at? Fox News?
And the only scenario where I’ll be going to the US is if there is a war, and I’d only be going there to blow shit up. I don’t give a shit about how nice you think your country is, if your president betrays us (as he’s constantly saying he wants to do) I’ll be doing everything in my power to destroy your nice comfortable life. That’s what war means and you need to start looking at this for what it is. This may be a game for you, but it’s our country for us. We will defend our country through every means available to us.
Or he could go the Puerto Rico route.
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’m Canadian, I don’t have the luxury of treating it like a lie. If we’re wrong, and he means it, I lose my home and my way of life. I have to treat it as a serious threat. I have to try and make sure my nation is ready for the worst outcome imaginable - a fight where we can’t win, we won’t surrender and where everything I’ve ever been taught tells me to die for my country.
Old age, bomb or bullet - one way or the other, I’m dying a Canadian.
I lose my home and my way of life
You could also lose your life if you’re a military-aged male.
If it comes down to it, many of us will have to die for our country, and the end result would be the same when he takes over our country. I’m surprised that I’m actually surprised this the end result of him becoming president a second time. This has been going even worse than I had expected.
Bro calm down.
Life in canada is legit not that different from life in the USA. You guys would be blue af anyways so it’ll mostly stay the same.
I swear, most of you people make it obvious how little you know about the US. It’s as though all your ideas about it come from news articles that exist to make money off of your anger and misconceptions.
I don’t know a lot about America. I’ve only visited maybe a half dozen of your cities and maybe been on American soil maybe 10 times in my whole life. I’ll tell you what I do know, please feel free to correct me if I make a mistake:
I know you don’t have universal healthcare. I know you don’t have a specific carve out against hate speech or calls for genocide in your first amendment. I know you have no limit on money in politics. I know you have 2 year election cycles instead of laws that prevent campaigning for more than 12 weeks before an election. I know you have school shootings. I know you have laws restricting abortion. I know you don’t legally recognize the existence of Trans people, never mind their rights. I know we had legal gay marriage on the books 10 years before you did, and the way things are going we’ll have it another 10 years after you overturn Obergefell. I know your banking system sucks, putting profits before people, and couldn’t protect you from the 2008 crash as well as ours did because we have actual regulation. I know you don’t have the same environmental protections. I know you want people to assimilate and “become” American in a melting pot instead of honoring everyone’s right to embrace their history like our mosaic.
And I know you don’t allow your conquered territories like Puerto Rico and Guam to vote, so who gives a shit how liberal we are?
I like America, and Americans, fine. But you were right there, a short drive away if I wanted to live like you. I don’t. Why is it not a big deal that that choice might be taken from me? (edited this last line to not jump the gun. Not like fighting has started and the whole point of this was to show I wasn’t overreacting)
So, you know everything that the news outlets have told you so they can make money off of your anger and sense of superiority.
When you were in the US, realistically how different was it from being in Canada? Be honest.
I can say that when i went to Canada as an American, it felt pretty much the exact fucking same. Lol.
I didn’t get sick, though. I would absolutely support taking over Canada so you guys can help us get universal healthcare.
You’re the one being overly influenced by social media when you’ve been so brainwashed by extreme American exceptionalism that you don’t even understand the concept of countries anymore.
Just think about what you’d do if a foreign military invaded your country. That’s the same as what other countries will do.
We’ve heard Americans say “we’ll be greeted as liberators” before. No you won’t. You’ll be greeted as a foreign military invading a country. Americans will die if you don’t get with reality about this. There won’t be an ocean between you and this particular war. There would be a probability that you’ll become collateral damage in a drone strike.
You’re the one being overly influenced by social media when you’ve been so brainwashed by extreme American exceptionalism that you don’t even understand the concept of countries anymore.
Holy crap 😂
Cognitive dissonance is insane among you people. It’s like you get physically distraught over the crowd being wrong because you can’t rise above your herd mentality.
Anything to avoid admitting you let other people do your thinking for you.
What are you going on about? Are you saying the word of the president is worthless and therefore should be ignored? It’s just a joke?
Have these random programs actually helped Americans?
To my naive view, would America not he better served with a far more progressive tax system, in lieu of spending these large sums to foreign countries and various agencies that squander what could be given to the poor?
In what world is giving the poor more money directly not he an effective means of raising their standard of living, which should be the main point of a progressive government?
Maybe, but that’s not what he’s doing. He’s raising taxes on the poor while cutting social programs and not giving anyone but billionaires money.
They are in the process of transitioning to a government that does not care about the people and does not provide for them. People here aren’t going to get any benefit. Just like with the Empire, the only ones who reap any benefits are the Oligarchs.
Given the crazy spending how much do you feel in dollar value the low end workers would be getting per year?
They don’t get much money back in taxes, no universal healthcare, I don’t think child care is covered. So what are they getting for all the spending?
Nothing. The government doesn’t care about our votes anymore. We’re no longer necessary for the king to hold power. They have no interest in helping Americans because Americans won’t be voting again.
He needs to find a more productive obsession that’s much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.
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?
According to the US Supreme Court, a US president cannot be prosecuted for crimes (if they’re related to their official duties, but whatever goes, I guess). This means that Canada is faced with the fact that they’re being attacked by a foreign power with a ruler not beholden to the rule of law. If they give in, they’re going to be conquered by a king who is not bound by a national constitution, legislative body, nor courts. This is an existential threat to their freedom as individuals with rights.
If they give in
lol, no. The US are about to rediscover why Canadians were so feared in the world wars. Canada literally exists because we didn’t want to be part of the US. If you want Washington burned down a second time, keep at it.
Gotta go further south this time. Warching Mar-a-Lago burn will be fun.
I’m down, I know the area well. We can call it the March of the Snowbirds.
Turning North America into Canada, South Canada, and Mexico would be a nice sight
If it gives me single payer healthcare? I, for one, welcome our new Canadian overlords.
It’s being dismantled by Conservative provincial governments. And in Ontario at least, people can’t even be bothered to vote for a party that will preserve it. But I’d rather stay an independent country with problems that be taken by the USA.
And as a respected media personality I can help round up others so they may toil in your underground
sugarmaple syrup caves.We have cheese caves, too.
Upper Canada, lower Canada and discount Canada
Well that seems a bit much to call Florida discount Canada, they need to work harder for that title.
Fuckit. I’ll greet the Canadians at the boarder as liberators.
Hey, I’m not gonna complain, might even cheer you on. This administration is off the rails already and we are barely a few months in.
Yeah, we need an adult to come save us.
Many of us will welcome you with open arms.
…
Do you promise? That doesn’t sound so bad, tbh.I don’t understand their endgame here. I’m sure they could take over Canada by force if they wanted, but keeping it is a whole other matter. They should have learned from the many wars they fought that occupying land the locals don’t want you to occupy sucks.
They think the economic damage alone will be enough to make us give up. It didn’t work in 1890 and it won’t work today. We will survive on lentils and water if it means we get to defend our country.
Something something “greeted as liberators” only for real
You promise!? I’ll bring the popcorn
Don’t tease us. You’re getting some of us excited here.
Well, that and also the fact that Canadians currently see the US as a severely indebted dumpster fire where the system is specifically designed to exploit and oppress its citizens for the profit of the few. A police state where cops can assault, rob, unlawfully imprison and murder anyone without repercussion, where your insurance company will deny you life saving treatments to make more money despite charging you twice what Canadians pay for their own health insurance through their slightly higher taxes, where the cost of education is absurdly prohibitive and social mobility is nonexistent, where it is legal to pay someone a salary that is not even enough to keep them lodged and fed while working over 50 hours a week on several jobs, where corporations can sell you food containing ingredients that are known to be harmful to your health, where religious zealots with belief systems that belong to the dark ages wield significant political power, where citizens are locked up for simple violations while rich people get away with murder, where entertainment TV shows can spew out pure disinformation while calling themselves “
FOXNews” where Corporations are being given human rights that take priority over real humans and their political donations are considered “free speech”, where any moron can buy a gun without even having a single clue on how to use it safely and where the violent crime rate is through the roof, all that while chanting about being the greatest country on Earth.And that was before we even take Trump into consideration. But hey, he said we could keep our anthem because he likes it and that we’d pay lower taxes. So I guess that makes it worth it now?
Hey, that’s my view of the US too, from ground zero!
if canada is threatened they can just cut out all traffic to ALASKA, starve the state.
This abministration wouldn’t give a shit.
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”
You’re going to have a hard time getting Americans to rally behind shooting at the polite white people next door. I really don’t think even the Republican propaganda machine could make that happen.
Then you will never cease to be amazed by the depths of Trump fanaticism, because they absolutely would fall in line. It’s not the Republican machine, merely a vestigial organ to the Trump cult that has taken over its host.
You’re going to have a hard time getting Americans to rally behind shooting at the polite white people next door. I really don’t think even the Republican propaganda machine could make that happen.
There are plenty of infinitely dumb trumpers who will blindly follow whatever he says, though. I’d bet a majority of the people in the military support him.
You’re going to have a hard time getting Americans to rally behind shooting at the polite white people next door.
Yet Trump was able to get his followers to enthuaiastically attack an American institution of government…
That’s comparatively very easy. Americans instinctively mistrust all governments, and especially their own. America was founded on hatred and mistrust of government, and those roots run deep. But we have no actual beef with Canada and the Canadian people. And sure, the Republican propaganda machine can try to invent one, but I just don’t think it will stick. It’s easy to target the scary poor brown foreigners coming in from the southern border, but people just won’t believe you when you try to demonize Canadians, because they’re basically the same as us culturally.
Most people aren’t freaking out right now because they don’t take Trump literally. You’d think that they would have learned better by now, but one of Trump’s legitimate talents is that he has an almost supernatural ability to get people to selectively believe what he says: they believe the things they like and think he’s just bullshitting about everything else. If something actually happens with Canada, people will wake up fast.
Unfortunately, I think a Panama invasion is more likely, and I actually doubt that most Americans will be so upset in that situation.
The Republican propaganda machine has already convinced a bunch of people who grew up during the cold war that Russia is now the good guys. It’ll take some time, but I don’t doubt they could do it.
Lol the Pentagon isn’t afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.
Pepperidge farms remembers
When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?
I’m sorry but let’s not forget that Iraq was a thing.
I’m not sure it’s technically illegal, and I’m very doubtful that the current judiciary would find it so. But it is unconscionable. And insane.
It’s not technical illegal at all. Nothing he does is. The Supreme Court made him king.
If troops do illegal shit, the U.S. judicial system is one of several places they could possibly be held accountable.
They won’t be held accountable in USA with him as supreme leader.
… And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?
He has the memory of a cod and the backbone of a slug, this is all bluster and he’ll cave the moment anyone he knows tells him otherwise.
Strongman my ass
Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!
Well, the best place for the stiff is a pine box 1.8m below grade
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. 🤷♂️
