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.

The solution is easy. Canada is already bigger than the USA, so the US should join Canada.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

We would vote and then make Canada as shitty as the US is.

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.

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

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.

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.

.... And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 19 hours ago

When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?

I'm sorry but let's not forget that Iraq was a thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I am hoping that Trump is dumb enough to declare war against Canada, the EU, Panama, and Mexico simultaneously. That would make it easier to dogpile the fucker.

For the moment, though, it looks like that he is gearing up against Mexico first. IIRC, something like 10 brigades are being placed at the border. I think he might be able to convince the cartels and official Mexican government to ally, considering that he can't tell the difference between anyone who isn't him.

Cartels that are armed with US guns
