Yeah, I a tally think things aren't as bad for anyone else as the US thinks they are. They are acting like this is 1935, but the whole has changed, and the are about to find real quick that what gave them power wasn't guns, but the alliances and knowledge they had hoarded. They are getting rid of all that real fast as the world realigns much faster than they expected.
Well remember, that's why they're doing this. They're not doing this because they're arrogant, or at least not solely that, they're doing it for the explicit purpose of destroying America's ability to affect World politics. They're doing this because Putin has told him to destroy America's ability to be a superpower.
Surely VP Krasnov is not a bad actor, comrade?
It's funny to me that "and it's good" had to be said because most of his ideas are so horrible and stupid.
Just turn off their electricity right now
Charge them more, 25% more to start, and if the blanket tariffs go up, so does the cost of electricity
Bullies like Trump only understand the language of power. You can’t smile or handshake your way out of their attacks. You’ve got to sock them in the kisser.
With any luck at all, the bully might finally get his ass knocked out with this kind of epic fucking up.
Elbows up!
Is it not elbows in?
Not sure if you're serious, bud.
Elbows up means get ready to fight.
Guess I was over thinking it? Elbows up to me says you're going to take a body shot - elbows in is the coaching to tighten up your (boxing) guard.
Fists up or dukes up says get ready to fight (to me).
Heheh yea, it's overthinking. Elbows up is just hockey term for going to fight. Like, I'm wearing armour, good luck with a body shot.
I hope he cancels all plans to dig some stupid hole. I have minimal faith in ford,he better price is actual worth for once.
Same.
Spend that money on a boatyard on Lake Ontario to launch Canadian ships made with Hamilton’s steel.
Spend it nationalizing GM’s plants if they close, so we can keep all the staff on and retool for artillery and drones made in Windsor and Sarnia using Cobalt’s cobalt.
Spend it on our manufacturing industry to machine those new tools.
Spend it on Ontario lumber to help us spin up a thriving furniture and housing industry.
Maybe spend it on beginning to build a nuclear arsenal.
We really do need nukes. We should have always had them.
Nukes are a waste of money unless you already have everything else. The only time anyone would use a nuke is when they decide they would rather end the world than lose the war. You are generally much better off just planning to not lose the war in the first place because you have enough arms. Canada (unlike Isreal or Iran) is rich enough to do all needed conventional arms development themselves (or better yet share the development with allies: Australia and Europe)
You're never going to compete with the American military industrial machine. Nukes are the best deterrent
We should design and build the parts for suitcase nukes, then ship them in pieces to Canadians in place in the US for assembly and installation in strategic locations.
