“No, of course not. Of course not, Bret,” replied Navarro, shifting the blame to China. “But what we want to see is Canada and Mexico crack down on China. China, for whatever reason, and there is a lot of speculation as to whether they mean to do us harm with this, they don’t seem to care, OK? So it’s up to Mexico and Canada to help us do this.”

LOL WUT?

They're just all over the place at this point. One moment they're accusing the Canadian government of being totalitarian, then next moment they're saying it's been overtaken by cartels from Mexico. Like, ffs, make up your mind. And funny how they never like to talk about all the illegal guns they allow over their border into Canada. Guess that just screws up their narrative.

He is preparing for the military invasion of Canada.

Feb 2022 Putin claims Ukraine has been infested with Nazi's. March 2025 P Navarro (Trump's tariff guy) claims Canada has been taken over by Mexican cartels. Narratives are set. Canadian here, waiting for the hammer to fall. @tsycho_Psunami on Reddit

For those unclear whether the "Criminal Trade Advisor" is a criminal and a trade advisor, or an advisor on criminal trade:

Navarro, Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing who was jailed for contempt of Congress last year after refusing to testify about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was speaking about U.S. tariffs on our northern neighbor with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday evening.

As for the loser's claims, American guns are a much bigger problem in Canada than Mexican cartels.

And most of the guns the Mexican cartels use in Mexico come from the US as well.

At least she got that added to their "agreement"

Peter Navarro is a tub of santorum

After what trump did in the meeting with zelensky, every US ally is now pn notice that US is not an ally.

Get a clue and act like it. If we are lucky, this will blow over on 4 years.

But Kore likely there will be a war and US will fight on the Russian side

[–] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And if that happens there will be a civil war.

That’s a lot of talk for people who are so quiet in the streets

That goal post is just teleporting all over the place.

Come fuck around with Canada. We will be waiting for you fuckers!

I'm very much on Canada's side, but in reality what does anyone do against the US?

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do what Ukraine is doing to Russia. Canadians will not roll over like muricans have!

I definitely wouldn't expect you to, but with the best will in the world they're a whole different fighting force to Russia.

They are preparing the invasion. Be prepare to fight, I'm revising my Leo Major.
