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.

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 Seattlite, I’d be right there with ya if you’d have me.

i like how hes sticking to 51 state spin as a distraction to the firings doge has been doing lately.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

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?

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.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Ever heard of the third Reich?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Of course I’ve heard about it, I’m not a historian so I don’t know all the details about how Germany went about it’s expansionist war other then the basic stuff . Did Hitler declare martial law and then invade Poland and Austria Hungary etc??

Fuck Trump. Loser cannot die soon enough.

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.
