As an American I would never join the us military, but I would absolutely join the Canadian armed forces to fight against US imperialism into Canada.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well duh. What he means is:
- Greenland yes, as it's a largely undefended territory except for american forces already there. And let's face it, it's still uncertain what Europe and most of NATO would do in response, apart from strong-worded letters of condemnation. Which has precisely 0 effect on a sociopath like Trump.
- As for Canada not yet, because it can defend itself. Maybe after a bit of slow Russia-style political destabilization in order to weaken it, then they attack.
The art of the coward. Nothing short of a swift kick to the 'nads will stop a savage and animalistic neanderthal. They can't be reasoned with, and while it's a sad reality, it's still a reality.
Canada can't defend shit I'm ngl our millitary is 3rd world xd. All they gotta do is cut off the trans canada highway and we'll crumble
NATO would have to defend Greenland.
Start prepping for war, dear Canadians
Does that mean that an attack on Greenland is highly likely? And what does he even hope to achieve?
Even if he manages to military conquer it, the local population would revolt, the rest of the sane world will boycott them and even maybe put some sanctions on them and the next president, hopefully more sane person will most likely return it back.
Trump still would like to add Canada and Greenland but says attack on Canada ‘highly unlikely’
Yeah, very trustworthy, he can just do what Russia did, use puppets, and declare “SVO”
No no, no attack on Canada. Just military exercises at the border
Did he think it would happen voluntarily? We made Canada, our closest ally, despise the US over some delusional thought that Trump thought was worthwhile to blast all over mainstream media?
he blasted it repeatedly, over the course of weeks, showing his advisors just how well he actually listens to them.
For the record, Canadians do not hate Americans en masse. but I admit there are a couple dozen individuals that are on the shitlist.
Instant WW3.
says attack on Canada ‘highly unlikely’
All the way up to the moment it actually happens.
Anyone thinking a military attack on Canada, Greenland, or any where else by Mafia Don Mangolini has simply not been paying attention.
🤷♂️ 🤡 🖕 🖕
No balls.
Putin said he wasn't going to attack Ukraine and here we have it . . .
trump is just following putins playbook.
Putin has follow through. Trump doesn't. Trump got pushback on the ludicrous things he was saying and backed off and is probably soon going to say it was a joke.
soooo.... Greenland, then? Tell me when they start moving troops. Until then: social media ragebait.
