Such a rapist through and through, he can't take/accept no for an answer

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I would gladly welcome New England as our 11th Province and Cascadia as our 12th.

Even better, I would love to see a balkanized USA. The current monster is a sclerotic ossified polity incapable of adapting and changing. They have created such a strong central government that everything is a cosmic battle between 2 megatribes and they all hang from the balls of 3 swing SCOTUS justices, 5 swing state senators and 1 crazy POTUS. That's an insane concentration of power.

The US is just too coupled for what it is. An EU-style semi-autonomous decoupling would make everyone that much happier: when Slovenia adopts weird gender rules, Portugal can just shrug and continue. Hungary gets to cosplay Frankoism while Spain sends ships to protect the Gaza Flotilla.

So, the US could happily break into some sane set of (10-20) self-coherent countries that can freely experiment with their laws, political cultures structures and constitutions. Let's also get an independent Quebec in there for good measure, and let's have an EU-like loose confederation with freedom of movement from the DariΓ©n Gap to the Arctic Ocean.

For fuck's sake.

State politicians are as much pussies as Canadian ones, so it will take time for everyone to grow a spine, but the US is certain to collapse, and the easiest path to collapse is state run tax strikes and secession. Normally fair secession involves a fair division of assets and liabilities. Fascist department of war invasions of states and cities, and fascist defunding attacks on blue states while propping up red state industries with tariffs at expense of every consumer gives a declaration of war pretense for immediate secession of all cooperation with zionazi/oligarchist regime. The zionazi/oligarchist grip on state politicians allied with national parties makes them pussies, just as the CIA forces all of our politicians to be pussies.

The dissolution of the US will come as a loophole to cancel all of its debt. One state going on a tax strike or seceding is an extra straw on the camel's (already trembling) back, and war against that state would be a further straw. Obvious to all that disolving the union and starting over makes much more sense than "peacefully accepting their share of zionazi debt". Any division or internal war is unsustainable for US.

Canada and China can greatly help with refederation of US states. It would be good for Canada to welcome US states. Market access to China is good for any new federation. If protecting a domestic auto industry makes sense, then Michigan being part of Canada makes sense. Agriculture sector in Canada has pressured Ottawa to stop being stupid. Most red states are dying due to 0 agriculture sales. US climate terrorism for Skynet is going to make electricity scarce for Americans. Forcing blue states to be extorted by red state energy, and narrow purple state tariff subsidies, requires complete zionazi slave pussies gaslighting their people to tolerate and sustain.

President: I know I have said some awful shitty things in the past. Well, I am going to say them again!

Typical rapist, won't take NO for an answer.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 days ago

I will never become a worthless piece of shit American.

Trump can fucking die already. America sucks. Fuck you America!

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trump's latest remarks come only days after Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said it's Canadians who are fixated on the 51st state talk, and that sort of rhetoric is now in the past.

These idiots can't even keep their bullshit consistent.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Hoekstra can't keep his bullshit consistent with his own bullshit a few seconds ago when he denied his previous bullshit after being called out on his bullshit being bullshit.

I wanted to leave the US for canada. Shit like this makes me think that fucking orange twat will just start shit with Canada when he gets bored down here.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 days ago

And Canada, once again tells Trump to "get fucked".

[–] happy_wheels@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Yet another distraction....

[–] DonkMagnum@lemy.lol 19 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Or, maybe it's not (just) distraction. Maybe he is seeding interest amongst the Canadian magatards. Maybe this is designed to give traction to Dani Smith and her ilk, to create division and internal strife.

Maybe Trump and the repubs have been following a playbook for all his Canada talk... maybe Putin's playbook on Ukraine.

Why does he think ALL of Canada should be a single state, anyway?

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Because he started out stupid, then caught the dementia.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Because then he'd only have to deal with one puppet to get all the resources

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Because he doesn't actually understand how any of this works.

Cause he is a fucking moron and an idiot with dementia

[–] npcknapsack@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure Alberta would be its own state. But the rest of Canada is way too liberal for him to give us separate representation.

This fucking clown.

Hey USA. Your boy is on the front lawn in his diapers eating dog shit again. Maybe collect him before he gets away?

Wait, I thought we had a fentanyl problem. Why would he want that?

One good thing coming out of this rhetoric is many of us are getting back into full combat fitness.

We Canadians just knew Trump would keep babbling about it.

Yea time to start playing with switches at Niagara substations around the time the stock market opens again... Wonder how much that would wipe off the market

He's not kidding. The whole "no rules of engagement" speech by Hegseth, Canada should be preparing a drone army by now, Ukraine style.

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Abso-fucking-lutely. Ukraine has shown the 20th century military doctrines to be dead and has shown how smaller countries can fuck up bigger ones with drone warfare. Canada needs this and I'm not even a militarist.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The Canadian government really should be funding courses on combat first aid, self-sufficiency, and other non-combat insurgency courses.

Give Canadians 96 hours notice, we are closing up shop, come across and get back home, and close the border. You don't hold open borders against invaders.

Canada should fast track nuclear armament.

We have the tech, we have zero reason not to.

The information I have seen leads me to believe that something really fucking bad is about to happen, and WW3 is about to kick off for real.

  • Canada and the US are still far apart on any "deal" that would see the tariffs go away, and Canadians likely are never going back even if the relationship thawed politically.

  • Trump renamed the "Department of Defense", to the "Department of War"

  • Trump is currently sending troops to Portland. (I believe I read it was close to 1,800. Please correct me if wrong)

  • Days later, Trump starts talking 51st state bullshit again.

  • Let us not forget that Putin and Trump are friends, and any issues between them are 100% performative.

Meanwhile:

  • China seems to be readying an attack on Taiwan.

  • China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

  • China is also buying up anything they can to get rights to our rare earth minerals.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia has also been poking around the Arctic.

  • Russia has been invading NATO airspace for some time now, specifically around where the leaders will gathered this week.

  • Reports of Russia potentially opening up a NATO front in the war with Ukraine.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

  • North Korea has been pushing some boundaries recently with South Korea.

I am missing a lot because I am just pulling from my memory (As an example the Saudi/Pakistan treaty that I didn't read into enough) but it just looks like this is it. I am not trying to be an alarmist, but I don't see these signals going any other way than directly to Global war.
