This is the same "we stand with both" type of speech, just with an exaggerated tabloid interpretation.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Europe, Canada, and Latin America against US.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 5 points 5 hours ago

US, Russia and Israel. Rest of the world will also (have to) take sides. Only China will stay neutral until it turns the tides at some point being the big winner of it all (similar to the US in WWII).

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 27 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Canada, getting ready to invade, has amassed 90% of its population along its border with the United States. The longest unprotected border in the world.

They have a threatening lead on zamboni technology!

"surrender pronto, or we bomb Toronto"

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 6 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Oh my God, could this be any worse?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 hours ago

Yes.

But also, headline is misleading.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

The Americans could stop this at any moment if they choose to.

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 4 points 5 hours ago

All the troops will refuse illegal order, duh!

^is this needed? /s^

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago

Oh yeah, let me try...hold on....nope, can't.

[–] i078@europe.pub 4 points 6 hours ago

Hey, I’ve seen this one!

[–] sns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 94 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

At least there's only 2/3rds of a white house to burn down this time.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

I mean, that was before the east wing was built the first time.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 17 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

I hope we don't burn it down, it's such a pretty building. It's already been damaged enough by the megalomaniac.

I'd be OK if we just turned it into a Spirit Halloween for a season or something.

[–] cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

burn it to the ground and start fresh with a better system

[–] Mpatch@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

Dinner first, though.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Eh, it’s really not that cool and ultimately is just a weeb’s (roman style) idea of what a parliament building should look like. A rip-off of a rip-off. That’s not even me being bitter about recent events, I remember not even knowing enough to hate the US and visiting DC in highschool and I just could not care less.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

We probably should burn it down with how awful he's made the interior look with all that Temu gold plating and crap.

Burn it down so they can start fresh. You're never gonna get the Trump stank out of there.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 18 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't put it past them to decide fuses are "woke" or some shit and it burns down on its own.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 10 points 13 hours ago

The SS won’t let OSHA inspect the job site and it burns down when a contractor leaves a kerosene heater pointed at a barrel of acetone.

I'm gonna give Canada a free pass on any war crimes they commit this time

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 hours ago

New war crimes are added every time Canada is tested so yeah we will be fine about those old ones.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

War crimes aren't cool, it doesn't matter how mad we all are.

It's awful that this is so upvoted.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's OK.

The regime doesn't recognize international laws.

So, we play Calvin ball.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

It's very explicit that you don't have to agree with the rules of war, nor do your opponents, for them to exist and apply. You think the people currently jailed in the Hague were fighting in otherwise-clean wars?

If you rape an American, you're just a rapist.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

No rape.

But creatively ending lives of Nazi invaders.

If I kill an American I'm a murderer.

If I kill a Nazi, no I didn't.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 hours ago

but the us doesn't recognise the icc.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 15 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Canadians dusting off the old checklist.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That checklist is due for an update.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm working on mine. It oddly has more nipple torture than our previous list.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nipple Torture with beavers?

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Remember, it's not a war crime the first time!

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 hours ago

"Geneva Conventions" really can interpreted two ways.

[–] MooseWinooski@lemmy.ca 23 points 20 hours ago

Oh boy, here I go war criming again.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 20 hours ago

We are quite good at them. We're historically unstoppable when we get let loose against fascists and will do anything we can think of to be as mean as possible.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 14 points 19 hours ago

As a general rule if you see a headline from the Express you can assume it to be at best tangentially connected to reality.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 29 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

i can't find this one on my bingo card

anyone else have it

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 20 hours ago (9 children)

Canada is a member of nato

So if a nato country is attacked…
