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

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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

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] 34 points 1 day ago

When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?

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

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.

We are one Big Mac-invoked stroke away from being able to afford Canadian Peanut Butter again.

Fuck, guess I'm buying some guns.

Everything this man does is what a Russian asset would do to weaken the United States.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I wonder how many people know you can download for free or purchase the files for 3D printed guns. The additional parts can be bought, legally, in discreet kits from easy to find online sellers - but many of those parts can be bought or modified from commercially available hardware. I wonder if people know that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

but where do you get ghost bullets for your ghost guns?

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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

A land war at the border would give him justification to deploy military domestically for “defense”.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. War isn't inevitable. People have nukes and definitely will use them if needed. In other words, a cold war might occur, but maybe not regular war at least not in North America.

I honestly think the "better" thing to do is stay inside and try to sabotage the aggressors. This would obviously require a great deal of cunning and bravery.

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.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a Minnesotan. I would never fight our northern neighbors. Fuck our government, nobody wants this except trump and his cronies.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

But he commands the military. So there is that.

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

Apparently lessons are booked months ahead already, everyone’s educating themselves.

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?
