I’m lowkey happy to see how the political conversation has gradually shifted away from talks about annexing Greenland and Canada

Canada is working on beefing up border response if T goes on a rampage.
And I would join their side, same as how if I had been living in the South during the Civil War, I'd move and defect to the Union side. Nobody likes being a traitor, but I would see it as , my country betrayed me first.
Shhhhhhhh!
Wait 6 weeks.
kinda seems like it was the shiny object du jour that would distract from the actual diabolical shit these megalomaniacs were perpetrating & preparing.
Yes, you have to find things to rejoice about these days, even if they are only (very) bad things that just didn’t happen! 🙏
Do we know that, though? Just because the media's talking about less doesn't mean it's not happening behind the scenes.
So am I Though he did let slip a “51st State” comment when he suddenly decided to unilaterally stop trade talks before Canada Day
Yes, it has shifted to "How fast will nuclear capable French Rafales loaded with ASMPA's be deployed at Swedish, Danish and Greenland's airfielfds", and "Germany is converting car plants to build 1000 Leopard 2A8's"
Yes. It has shifted to "How many billions is Canada spending on EUROPEAN weapons to defend itself and attain NATO spending goals"
Hard to know the priority on his wishlist/agenda. And sequence. Like with Putin. Many thought the maximalist goals were just info ops...
Thank you. Me too...
For now, maybe.
Trump and fellow Americans have the attention span of gnats. Don’t worry he will get back to you
I’m sure he’ll start again so enjoy the peace.
Me too. It was just a flex 💪 by the orange emperor.
They have to finish taking Ukraine and Gaza first.
It's just cause Trump hasn't mentioned it. As soon as he does all the "reputable" news outlets will talk about it again.
They were NEVER a thing, it was always distraction, look back and see what they DID, in stead of what they talked about 🤬
Shhhhhhh..?🤫
Shh, don't say it out loud, you risk reminding the orange moron! 😅
I guarantee you Trump will invent some other outrageous bullshit that will never happen (and an actual American President would never say) to distract us as soon as he TACO's tarifs this week.
So it’s not just me who senses that the rate of crazy is starting to ebb a little.
I'm very cautious still. One of the reasons they're builting up their own SS (ICE) is that they want to keep Army, Navy, AF, Marines mainly for outside use. And I'm very aware of how we haven't seen any resignations over being tasked to break their oath and help against US citizens. Like.. not one.
Exactly my thoughts. Also, no resignations over Iran strike which was illegal because of missing congress approval. US military has no integrity.
While illegal, the Iran strikes could have been much worse but showed Trump is all performance and has no stomach for war. That said, USA going nazi is the scariest thing in the world. But know that Trump and most of his team are total morons. They are like cartoon parodies of nazis, if you will.
I agree that Iran shouldn't have nukes. However, it was still illegal and US military showed that it has no problem with legality. Basically it's only matter of time when US will march again Canada and Greenland.
The US has not done any imperialist conquest since the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. However, it is notable that Trump (who knows almost nothing of history) said his favorite US president was Mckinley who annexed not only Hawaii, but Puerto Rico, Guam and the Phillipines in the Spanish-American War.
US troops sadly will almost certainly obey Trump no matter what, because the alternative is military prison and losing everything. I would like to believe otherwise, that oaths to the constitution are meaningful, but many troops are conflicted with this dilemma and feel hostage to the Trump regime.
Honestly, military prison is the best option what they have. US won't win against Europe and Canada but it would be bloodbath for sure. Then americans will lose everything.
Even without Europe, the US could not conquer Canada. Morale in the US would be at an all-time low and Canadian geography is too difficult. As for military prison, best case they would be 3.5 years until a sane government gets elected. Better option would be joining a revolution to overthrow Trump
Most Canadians are also very patriotic. And the US could never ask for a better neighbors. Canada and Mexico have been nothing but helpful to the US. I do believe that a large portion of Americans would revolt if Trump gave that order I think most would be not active military.
I would say too that it will lead to some kind of civil war in US Not speaking about financial /market collapse in US.You can see it in russia Also,european countries own around $6T US bonds The idea about Canada and Greenland is the most stupid idea ever www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-t...
It no one will stand up to a dictator, he wins. If everyone collectively stands up against him, he’s finished. But I am beginning to think that there are no more Republicans in elected offices, because now, they really ARE fascists.
I think that US needs a same kind of lesson as Europe in 1945.
*IF
The #mortgage problem.
It's a great deal to sell own country and own soul for the mortgage - the best interest rate on the market. /s
Any military action against another allied nation will just signal to China that it’s Okay to take Taiwan, giving up all hegemony over the Indo-Pacific. Also, they’d need their entire military to occupy the north. Not to mention total market crash and civil war.
That's why the order of operations will have to be Middle East, Panama, Canada, Greenland. Being allied with RU means being allied with CN. MAGA doesn't care what happens to Taiwan or the Indo-Pacific. That's just their excuse for why they won't help NATO.
There isn’t a magat on this planet that’s going to align with the CCP. Not a chance. 0%. They’re already pissed at him for flip flopping on the Epstein files. Also, there’s no “Middle East first”. Middle East = decades of insurgency and being bogged down. Canada won’t just roll over either.
The most epic thing about the Epstein files is that some people got their jobs because of promise about releasing them. But nothing to release, lol.
You really don’t get how easily they flip right back to believing and supporting them. They just need their talking points.
Is it possible that they are setting up ICE taking inspiration from Russia's FSB?
No, that's more a blueprint for the FBI. ICE/DHS is a carbon copy of the SA/SS.
It hasn't. Canada are currently in trade talks with the US. Every time Carney's team makes a good move, trump lashes out in the media about Canada. I cannot wait for 2026 when he loses either the house or the senate (or both). 🤞
Or adding dude to Mt Rushmore or pushing to make dude's birthday a national holiday or Gulf of America or... lol
Low-key happy is about as much as we can expect these days.
We just got tired of winning and are taking a break
Bad Republican ideas never go away. They keep returning again and again like Herpes. 🤦🏻♂️🚩
That was a distraction to keep us from noticing Musk stealing 100% of the US Governments entire computer system... Big Balls is currently ransacking the Social Security office.
No one other than Donald Trump cares about either of those things and every day his brain has less and less capacity to remember them. But not zero, so we cannot rest.
WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTED
Be aware, he wants that and it is not over.
I'm not going to breathe easy until he's behind bars, or at least out of office
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Reality intruded
Don’t forget invading Panama 😃🥲
That meme with the skeleton sitting underwater at the bottom totally applies here
For now. When a distraction is needed to avoid attention to his many and constant failures, Trump is certain to return to this subject.
Breathing Room was next on the list…
Those threats are clearly still on the table and it would be foolish to pretend otherwise. The only way America will be deterred is by threats to cripple them so badly that China will emerge as the global hegemon.
Hmm, with this President expect nothing...
I'm cautious on this. They could be still plotting the takeover of my country in the background. I feel Alberta separatists are funded by them.
The fact that we have to even concern ourselves with this... a testament to how bleak the times we are in are.
Yes. Very much so.
Yes, not a moment to relax. That American impulse is not REMOTELY dead. They have been eyeing out Arctic territory and waters for the last several presidents, even if it's just Trump who went public.
Yep.
That's the whole Trump thing. First claim the ridiculous, then achieve something terrible (which now doesn't seem so bad in comparison) or nothing at all (in which case, there will be other distractions). While always reserving the right to reopen that nonsense when it suits...
They will get to it. Patience I mean resistance
I wouldn't celebrate too much yet. Every time he gets asked about it directly in interviews he still says that he wants Canada to be the 51st State.
Canada and the EU have to plan for that this is going up on the agenda in the near future. Not doing so would be extremly irresponsible.
Genuinely good, because his diseased mind is focused primarily on what he sees on tv. So if he doesn’t see it on tv, there’s a greater chance he forgets.
For the moment anyway. But Greenland should take this opportunity and rejoin the EU to make it clear they're not interested in US annexation.
If you have the misfortune of being around MAGA people, they are still talking about it. They haven’t forgotten. I’m sure their leaders haven’t either.
We’re not letting our guard down
There are only so many dumpster fires that one man with dementia can juggle. Hopefully.
Give it a week. He always comes back to his old favourites when he’s in the shit.
I completely forgot this had even been discussed. My brain is...tired of chaos
He’ll pull it out of his ass when he needs a distraction. A squirrel, something 🤷🏻♀️
I'm not taking anything for granted. There is no trust that they won't try something, sometime. Too much has been said by them to ignore.
Yeah... no. The intent is still there, it's just not leading the news cycle at the moment. Project 25 has intent to expand, I believe.
Does it also including giving up power and influence in the Indo-Pacific? Because that’s what would happen.
No the Indo-Pacific is a priority in P2025 ironically, after clamping down domestically.
Sssssshhhhhh.
Canada kicked him in the teeth, as did Denmark. Carney’s too sharp for him to jack with, and he’s terrified of powerful women. Doesn’t leave him much of anything to fiddle.
Yes the coordinated dumping of US bonds would be disastrous for the US economy and Carney explained that to Trump which made him back off.
I think we will hear about Greenland again because he thinks they are weak so he can troll them still. Canada is a whole other story. They’ve shown they are strong and Mark Carney has what it takes to shut 💩47 down! That shit stain has gone and pissed the Canadians off! Not wise!
Oligarch Tax breaks, and Gestapo homeland security funds locked in. Canada and Greenland were just distractions. You all fell for it.
He's too busy fucking up the United States right now. That's what he really meant when he said "America first!"
Don't be happy. He has to finish shackling you in dictatorship first. Once that shackle clicks shut, he'll try to annex whoever he wants & he's almost there. First, he'll fully denounce NATO. Then, think Hitler but swap Czechoslovakia, Austria & Poland for Panama, Canada & Greenland.
