We should join the EU, fast

Okay not to downplay the fucked up reality of this situation, but does it bother anyone else that the Orange Idiot thinks Canada should be just one State? And one hostile to him and his party at that, out of spite if nothing else.

Happy to see the precious metal aspect of this get pubicity, even if accidentally.

This is all about life without China.

Tawain, drones, precious metals. They're all related.

A blue state with the population of texas, lets see how that affects congress.

Yo, this won't be an annex. It will be an invasion if he really wants it, same with Greenland. You think Canada will just roll over? Imagine if fucking Mexico decided to take back Texas. (At this point, please do, I could use some new leadership here)

I'm so sorry Canadians, yall just up there doing your thing and these assholes just trying to fuck your shit up.

I'm an outsider.

Do you think the military will comply with an order to invade Canada? Usually the higher ups are pretty sane people (in the West).

This quite a historic geopolitical paradigm shift. It's been implicitly assumed that the two countries are forever allied out of mutual interest.

The Canadians and Canadiens should start thinking about their military purchases. Do you rely on a neighbor who is constantly threatening you with a trade war and annexation? Nope. The Orange Fuck-up will end up destroying the US MIC export business and their will be some pissed off wealthy people with deep connections.

Does anyone have a video of this recording?

at least they recognize the gravity of this insanity.

USA here. I believe (but I dont know for sure) that any "hot" attempt on Canada will bring forth blood on american streets.

just hang in there and defend yourselves by any means you can while we try to get hands on this beast and strangle it.

I am sorry.

edit: clarity

Trump must realise Canada one of the founding members of Nato and an attack on one is an attack on all.

Im not Canadian I should add but yeah this kind of thing really will not go well for anyone same goes for Greenland.

Australians are pissed. We have been right with the yanks in "America 1st" for decades and we get looked over again

Ya know, even with all the apt comparisons to Hitler and Putin, one thing I didn't have on my bingo card was him actually trying to expand US territory by invading and annexing other countries. I thought that was one big difference.

Everything else I could imagine is now in progress: Disregard/end of the Constitution and rule of law--check. Dismantling of democracy into an authoritarian dictatorship--check. Mass deportations and concentration camps--check. Full-on implementation of Project 2025--check. Blatant corruption, lawlessness and self-enrichment for trump family and oligarchs--check. Implementation of Christian Nationalist policies--check. Dismantling of federal agencies and beneficial aid programs--check (so far DOJ/FBI, USAID, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Dept of Education).

As yet unchecked, but only a matter of time (it's only been 3 weeks!): dismantling of additional agencies and programs: SNAP, medicaid first, then social security, medicare, all the stuff they hate. Use of military against civilians, requirement to carry ID papers with proof of citizenship, sham elections, and more!

Unanticipated by me: Musk given free reign to dismantle whatever parts of the US government he feels like, and now invasion and annexation of other countries and territories!?! In the sights: Panama Canal zone, Greenland, Canada, and Gaza. Could this really happen?

But I've been told by American lemmy users that it's not serious and that it's just a distraction, and that I'm a moron for taking it seriously
