In the meantime, I can recommend a Cuban movie:
I am beginning to suspect that it is Trump's henchmen who are having their families held hostage....
If the US actually did put troops into Canada, the global order breaks into three totalitarian spheres of influence, which is what Trump seems to have in mind with all his claims to land. Thoughtcrimes, like anti-Trump syndrome, become punishable by law or mere fiat, a thumbs down from Dear Leader. Orwellian, indeed.
I am mindful of that. Since they will be taking me down regardless, best to relish the well-stoked, choking outrage and disgust of my tormentors rather than some tepid, whiny excuse. Cruelty knows no national borders, but I am glad not to reside in any of the superpower nations. On that note, imagine what manner of torture is already been shown to be in use, then double it. Future is not bright, so techbros with AI powered servant bots, that's the way to go, surely.
Are you recommending anticipatory obedience?
No not at all. I'm suggesting not telegraphing your dissidence on the internet where it will potentially make one a target while accomplishing very little. Be smart and keep yourself free for real acts of resistance when the time comes.
Probably not. 1 in 50 is likely representing the truly dimwitted end of the spectrum, maybe with a smattering of our violent sociopath demographic that wants to rape puppies too. And because it is a poll, the troll /not taking question seriously response is often in that 2% area. You have nothing to fear from the people of the United States. We love you. Even Agent Orange's own supporters are not down with any of this. It's one lone sociopath, not a movement or a nation full of them.
Yes there are probably a small cohort of people who didn't hear or understand the questions or just started mashing buttons on their phone to make the survey end.
That's 7 million people who think the US should invade Canada and around 30 million who support conquering it one way or another - scary, especially if a lot of them are senior administration members or military folk.
Lets assume they are slobbering idiots or tubby Meal Team 6 posers who are too timid IRL to send a steak back. Trash-talking weaklings vastly outnumber the actual dangerous guys.
True, but if Trump and/or Vance are among them it could easily happen.
After centuries of warfare between Denmark and Sweden, the two countries became very friendly in the decades after the Napoleonic wars. In fact, so friendly that a union was a serious possibility at one point. However, after more than a hundred years of friendship and brotherhood, a dispute over possible oil rights in the waters between the two countries caused the tabloids to adopt a warlike stance, and suddenly there were people who wanted to fight over this issue. Eventually, no oil was found, and the countries returned to friendly terms. But it was quite “interesting” to watch how quickly the press could change some people’s minds to want war.
Honestly, I don't think.the rabble is on board with all this. A poll was cited around here somewhere that 92% of Americans did not support economic or military coercion to make Canada a US state. The Trumpanzees I run across in the wild kind of... don't know what to do with these Presidential musings. They are much more into the whole White Nationalist thing, not the Alexander the Great thing.
Given the Dann lives in Eastern Europe, I think posting nasty things about Trump is not a danger to him.
I don't think Denmark counts as Eastern Europe.
With respect, I don't think I am. I cross the border regularly and have been interrogated for hours, handcuffed, threatened, watched through a window as agents inspected my vehicle including opening my suitcase and dumping my clothes in the parking lot. And this was long before the Trump era. In late 2001, during a customs inspection the agent took a book out of my luggage that was about the roots of the IRAN/IRAQ war and told me "You should be careful what type of books you are bringing in to our country these days".
Give Putin and Trump a little time...
I think it is time you stopped underestimating the bigotry and privileged authoritarianism that has been a systemic part of America for decades and is now getting exposed.
...and Denmark and Sweden will own both Russia and the USA.
Seeing that I'd assume there's a trap beneath it, a pit lined with spikes or something.
Don't you mean Australians, not Americans?
Canadians and Mexicans are unlikely to have any trust in any agreement with the USA.
