Donald Trump has securing Canada’s resource wealth on his mind, and “one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country. And it is a real thing.”
I'm honestly just glad it's not Mexico for once. We really, really don't need to be messed with right now. It's not that we wouldn't be able to handle it, but we're doing great for the first time in my life and I don't want to see that spoiled.
But whatever the outcome, it's a reminder that we need to stand together.
Trudeau's comments aren't exactly Earth-shattering revelations. By now, everybody with half a working brain should have learned that when Trump says something, you should believe him. Unlike the magats', Trudeau's brain is in working order.
No. When Trump says something, about anything at all, whether it's the truth, or a lie, a group of somebody's somewhere, completely unrelated by tied inexorably to the fallout from it, is about to die.
People are more stupid than you think. I brought up this exact topic on another platform (that the USA wants Canada for its resources include fresh water), and many US responders laughed like it was the stupidest thing I could have concocted. I explained that I didn't come up with it it has been an ongoing thing since the 60s where US wanted a trench from Canada to the USA as a water feed, etc. People already believed their own conclusion and citing sources didn't change their mind on Trumps ulterior motive.
It has been a concern for a long time that as drought bites in the USA and the Arctic becomes a strategic waterway, the USA will want what Canada has in its lakes, its coasts, its farmable land and its other natural resources. It's just that Trump is accelerating the process, trying to get it done before Canada has a chance to prepare any resistance, and before many Canadians twig what's going on. I'm quite sure he's serious, and quite sure he isn't the only one.
Meanwhile Canadians are about to elect the most incompetent PM ever, whose only goal is to look tough and bigoted while screwing the little people, like Trump.
I'm an old man now. I have skills though. Been dusting off the trauma kit and reading up. Never hurts to be prepared even if things don't go south so to speak.
I wouldn't want any of our American friends or our Canadian soldiers to be killed because of that fat fuck.
If anything, effort needs to be made to remove him before this escalates even further. Our true allies will understand, because a war between Canada and the United States would end up as a World War, and nobody wants that.
It would not end as a world war. It would probably pull in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and maybe some other countries, because we are part of the commonwealth.
No i think the article here is that this is really a legitimate threat. And the US having veto power in Nato is a big fucking deal because that means we can't rely on our Nato allies to do anything.
No one seems to be considering the intersection of increased access to firearms (which, regardless of their intent, would happen) and a radicalized population.
