You are deluding yourself.
The US is doing this with the aim of surviving and thriving. They are chasing treasure, land and the dream of a better life after. Those are not goals that motivate people to fight.
For Europe, as for Canada, this fight is existential. There is nothing people are not willing to do in an existential fight.
You’re out of your mind if you think the US has the upper hand here.
Did you read the US national security policy they just released? Have you been listening to everyone over the last few days? They make it very clear they intend to secure the Western hemisphere because they think it belongs to them. Your country thinks my country belongs to you. Trump is very likely going to move on Greenland, and once the pretense is gone I imagine he would do exactly what he claims to want to do, in formal policies and all over the media.
I don’t know why Americans seem to think “oh he’s just joking this time”. A rule of thumb: If it involves making people’s lives worse, he’s not joking. He wants to control the Western hemisphere and if he has to kill millions to do it, he will.
You’re in denial if you don’t think Trump is going to drive the world to war. Or maybe you happen to believe that my country does in fact belong to the US?
Well moving EU troops into Ukraine would rapidly cause Russia to go to war with the EU, and in short order, US would be forced to make a decision as part of NATO.
Unfortunately I suspect the US would use the moment to backstab the EU, abandon them, and attack Canada, Greenland and Mexico, since no one could come to their defense.
We need an alliance with China.
Hey guys, it’s Canada, over here on the far shore… see me waving?
Hey, yeah…we uhh are in need of some new friends that we can trust. We’ve got lots of stuff over here. We’ve been mostly cool. We gave our all in the last two big dust ups.
Not to put the pressure on but we seem to be running out of runway.
Yeah this is the part they don’t want to accept because it’s ugly and it’s risky. It takes courage and conviction, and it takes planning and commitment.
There are very few people who can do this, and even fewer who can do it successfully and also live a reasonably normal life without getting caught. The problem is that all the 2A people got convinced they were the vanguard but never actually were told what that means. They bought into the hype but never understood what it really meant. Now when it gets real and it gets ugly they find out they never were that guy, and they just wanted to cosplay as that guy because the guns are cool.
A simple guideline: Live your life in such a way that your death doesn’t spawn a national day of celebration.
Exactly. I just got permabanned from Reddit for telling a Russian asshole who bragged about 5000 nukes that he should stop being a pussy and just do it. Push the button and become history’s footnote, the country that destroyed humanity, moments before they get turned to ash. I’m so sick of this blustering, seriously shit or get off the pot.
That country is filled with self-aggrandizing assholes who invaded a sovereign country they promised to protect. They have an economy smaller than Italy and Canada. They’re hateful, boastful, self-important shitheels. I’m so bored of their games and I truly don’t believe they have the minerals to back up anything they say. I call their bluff.
Hey, what did Canada do? Or eTA isn’t even as invasive as the EU’s proposed ETIAS, and certainly nothing approaching the anal-probe-level personal violations of the ESTA. And we need tourism. The US is fucking our economy in a massive way.
Canada is threatened by the US, the UK PM says nothing, and he cannot stop licking Trump’s nutsack every chance he gets. It’s an embarrassing betrayal.
Churchill was on the right track with Operation Unthinkable. And as much as a think Patton was a vainglorious blowhard, he was right about the Russians.
Should have done something in 45.
Voting is not going to mean anything. You are putting far too much undeserved trust in the remaining democratic institutions.
Protesting only works if voting works, otherwise who are you convincing with protest? It’s masturbatory.
You need a general strike, and you need protests with clear open carries. You need to step it up so that the people in power can see the power of the people. Unfortunately you’re not ready or willing to do this because the risk of violence is very real. And it seems the American people are not ready to risk their lives to fix their country…yet. But their opponents are willing to do that to break it. The good Americans are going to come too late to this realization.
