Canada, this guy ain't gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.

Canadians, they just want your chickens and eggs.

So Trump is cool with Canadians moving to the USA and getting a job?

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

They don't have to! We just want the dirt part of Canada.

Just like he wants the dirt part of Gaza. The people should move on to magical lands such as Greenland, Blue land, but most preferably brown land south.

We won’t stop fighting against Trump until he is absorbed into the ground.

[–] ksigley@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

He'd better not come in my yard or I'll put him there.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Well this shit is likely not helping american military moral, which is good since this war will be rough and Canada needs every advantage/deserter available.

In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this

Lol. I actually support this.

It'll be worse for Canadians, but better for the US and therefore the world as a whole.

I mean, imagine how all those Canadian voters can affect Congress.

Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I genuinely thinks he also wants to annex canada though

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

If he makes Canada a state, he loses control of Congress.

He would never do that.

It’s very interesting that he is criminalizing climate change, while seeking to take over the lands that would benefit from climate change.

There’s another fella across the ocean that is accelerating climate change because it will benefit his country.

Great take. I agree. We know this from Project 2025. Keep an eye on it but don't let it distract. Trump and cronies are using a strategy coined flood the zone to prevent coordinated opposition against them in politics and media.

He bends over for putin all the time. Strange...

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

Is it really that strange to you?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 131 points 1 day ago (10 children)

I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.

An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 45 points 1 day ago (6 children)

This is not the first time the US has made up bullshit in order to attack a country: WMDs in Iraq, communism in Vietnam, Russia said there were nazis in Ukraine to justify that war. The military only needs a lie and then it’s not illegal anymore. The lies are already circulating. “canada is communist” “canada hurts the US”

I know trying to make sense of the stupidity that is Trump's "plan" for America is a lost cause. But why do they speak like turning Canada into a singular state makes any god damn sense??

Also, is war inevitable? I honestly don't know. Shit is not looking good. If war breaks out, I would find a way to flee and volunteer to fight on the opposing side. No way am I supporting my country on the wrong side of history.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

War? Remember that we're talking about nuclear war. That is possible of course, but many people with brains would try to stop Trump from starting it. Would they succeed? Who knows.
