"Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly had one stark warning to share Wednesday: “If the U.S. can do this to us, their closest friend, then nobody is safe.”
Except Russia and North Korea
It is not just Trump, there is very little coming from the US that is not complete acceptance of his actions. For a long time the rest of the world called the USA the great satan and I think Western powers are beginning to see it.
The joke that America is just 3 corporations in a trenchcoat is pretty accurate. There’s a very small number of corporations that control almost all the media and the owners are oligarchs, willing to bend the knee so they can continue their dominance.
For a long time I’ve worried that one day the USA would realize Canada has water, natural resources and strategic coastline, and suddenly all the “friendship” would become void and we’d get to experience what the USA has always done to countries with things it wants. But with Trump this has happened quicker than expected, and he’s going to push hard to crush our country before we have time to defend ourselves. He’s also going to try to divide European countries and Canada against one another. It’s crucial that Europe and Canada find some solidarity right now and stand together in the face of the danger from the USA.
The US just does not have the power to take on its allies and the rest of the world in open aggression. Any thought that it does is illusory, look at relatively small countries like Vietnam and Afghanistan where it just had to leave or the terrible mess of the Middle East. It can not colonise in the way it was possible to do 200 years ago, the power asymmetry is just not there. Added into that many of the targeted countries are nuclear powers and part of numerous combined defense treaties. Any real action he takes will be visited back on him in equal or larger measure. At some level the US if not Trump must instinctively understand this, it is the past rational for proxy over direct wars.
As a Californian, I would love for us to become Canada’s newest province.
They don’t want us. I already asked. But CA, OR, and WA can secede and make Cascadia minus the Canadian portion.
Nah. As a canukian, I’m down with it
New England needs to consider leaving the US too. It’s like we are in an abusive relationship now.
I grew up in Vermont and I live in Canada now. Please don’t make me go back, lol.
Nobody is safe…except israel.
Pretty sure Europe is pretty much safe. We got the French. If the world was a marvel movie, they’d be the Hulk.
We must stand together against the orange man.
They should ban the orange dye he uses and let him look pale and sick, this poor sleepy Don.
