Putins giving him which countries target, in order to expedite US out of nato.
He’s worried that Canada won’t roll over for him. And he’s right.
This fucking dumbass thinks he's Hitler... But he's clearly both too stupid, and too hasty to get anything done.
He's literally just threatening our allies at this point. I can't imagine a more pathetic and dumb person in this entire world right now.
hitler was also on meth, so was trump. hes not that far behind.
This is coming from the man that told us to increase our border security.
He's insane to think he can justify an invasion or take Canada anytime soon, but I'm sure we will see even more disinformation campaigns and political interference in an effort to speed up that process.
I fucking hate my president, but the whole government is complicit.
Supreme Court? Nah, team fascist.
Congress? Nah, team fascist.
Where the fuck are the SEPARATION OF POWERS and CHECKS AND BALANCES we learned about in civics class?
Turns out checks and balances don't mean shit if no one actually defends them.
If your country survives this, you are due a serious overhaul of your supposed checks and balances and, more generally, of your political system. Too much assumes common decency, which the rest of your political and economix systems have been working hard to eliminate.
Electoral college? Hyper powerful president? That stuff needs to go.
Also helps when civics isn't taught in 70% of the school system
If congress, supreme court, and executive are majority same party — there’s no power left to check or balance.
If we had ranked choice voting, we might not be in this mess. Everything devolving into a two-party system has led us to this.
Despite all the (phony) reverence for the document in the U.S., the Constitutional Convention fucked up, badly. The Founding Fathers disliked political parties, considering them divisive, so they drew up a system that assumes that all office-holders are independent. That system is supposed to leverage the mutually-opposing interests of the representatives to check and balance each other. It simply can't work if a group of people with aligned interests control multiple branches of government.
They signed their new constitution in 1788, and by 1792, Alexander Hamilton formed the first political party. Whoops.
These nazis obviously did not grow up with schoolhouse rock
This bone spur dodge drafting trust fund snuff film making rapist dementia riddled Russian agent is going to initiate WWIII and send thousands of innocent Americans into the meat grinder.
All done while giving the order to invade safely from his Florida golf course with people dressed up as dogs dancing around him while he’s eating caviar.
Fuck sakes Americans. Enough is enough. Find a fucking back bone and overthrow this government.
Your sons and daughters lives may just depend on it.
innocent Americans
Half of them want this, half of them are not innocent (N = 1000).
The ones getting invaded are the wholly innocent (in this context).
The worst part is he's accelerating towards it so hard that half, or more, of the frogs are going to jump out of the boiling pot. And they will have a civil war at the same time as starting WW3... so they will also lose WW3.
Fafo. I know if they try to take Canada I along with alot of other Canadians will go full insurgent. Honestly we need to shut the border like we did with COVID. Y'all wanna play then none of you can visit.
Unfortunately the NSA has probably seen your comment and you will be abducted or bombed before their invasion truly begins.
Totally.
You wanna laugh?
travel.gc.ca still classifies the USA as "take normal security precautions"

Actually, that's not funny. What the fuck is the government of Canada waiting for? We're basically Austria in 1937.
Same. I'm not even patriotic but I will get rid of all the shit I've built up to do this.
This is the shit everyone was accusing Putin of doing. Does he need to start pushing people out of high-rise windows for Americans to see who he is?
It is time that every Canadian went out and got their firearms licenses, a rifle, a shotgun, and a range membership to learn how to use both.
We are at serious risk right now, and all hands need to be on deck for this one.
Scoped bolt action hunting rifles because they make great impromptu Sniper rifles. Also, as a resistance fighter in asymmetrical warfare you're not going to beat an army with firepower and continuous engagements. You have to rely on hit and run tactics and rack up a body count over time that will make the occupation too pricey to keep up.
A compact, takedown/folding stock version is also preferable because it will make it easier to carry it in a non conspicuous bag in the city and blend in with the population. Trying to hide in the woods against an enemy with thermal vision and surveillance drone capabilities is a bad idea. The only way to hide human activity nowadays is among other human activity.
Although lately shotguns did find a new use in the battlefield against drones. But once again, they're long, hard to conceal and you're better off hiding among population.
Also, speaking of new tech, I think it is worth learning how to operate drones. It might have become the safer way to do things like that. They're easy to conceal and easy to deploy and operate out of sight. As a bare minimum it will force the invader to use high power radio jammers that are absolutely not healthy to stand around over a long period of time, further increasing the cost of the occupation.
In Canada resistance fighters won't need the kind of Urban mobility you are referencing.
Against a US invasion they are going to take our major cities very quickly, and there is nothing we can do about it. This is because all of our major cities are on the borders. The rest of the country is wilderness, that our hunters know like the back of their hands and makes incredibly hard to move large military forces around.
What we need is our military taking care of Urban combat, and leave the rest to Canadian civilian Militias. Urban Combat is hell and civilian militias will just lose to well trained soldiers every day of the week.
There are numerous ways to take out drones, hide heat signatures, and move in the dark against night vision. We will also have those tools, and frankly, drones don't do well in the winter so their effectiveness is season dependent.
As far as weaponry, any Long gun and Shotgun a person is comfortable using is good enough. Any Long gun with scope for range, Shotgun for up close (Buck shot) and Drones (Bird shot) is light enough for most people to carry comfortably, easy to use, and still effective in modern warfare.
Yep. The Feds should be providing free licensing and training nationwide at this point.
Elbows up Canada!
send in the candian geese armada.
Perhaps today is a good day to get a slashing penalty.
Stay the fuck out of Canada 😡 You're not welcome Orange man.
This is the exact same reasoning he used to threaten Greenland.
You can try to take it but you will never keep it. The Canadian identity is caged in outward politeness under a quiet bedrock of anger, spite, and a creative disregard for the Geneva Convention when pitted against bullies.
Maybe it's you and me - we are supposed to check then balance
He wants the entire continent under ~~US~~ his control. He already admitted having Greenland is "psychologically important" for him. He won't rest until he owns it all and that still won't fill the giant hole in him that fuels his constant need for more.
Do you recall on 9/11 when Trump bragged that he now had the tallest building in New York?
I have this sneaking suspicion that what makes this all so "psychologically important" to him is that he wants to make the US the largest country by area on Earth. Stupid, I know, but that's par for the course for this fucking guy.
Release the Epstein files
There’s no fascist state without war
