I'd support Aussie Armed Forces being sent to help defend Canada were Trump ever to invade Canada. That said, I think many Americans would rise up and side with Canda to help defend Canada and oust Trump.

I wouldnt trust Americans to do shit.
The "mood online" FWIW, is that the USA is more likely to be ripped apart by a second Civil War. This time it will be Red vs Blue & the triggers will likely be: . Voting Rights . Human Rights, especially Women's Rights . Government Oppression
maybe not red and blue. dems and rep's are basically the same. it isn't exactly right v left either. you will see marxists and libertarians agreeing on many of the big issues. i believe the left has the best economic solutions but there is not as much debate on the problems. inequality++
Marxists? Wtf. That's Communist.
Technically, Marxists are believers in the economic models of Karl Marx, that include Communism as a political-economic model where the state and its citizens are ONE, sharing all resources & providing to each according to their needs. Best example in modern practice are the #HutterineColonies
Based on my understanding of different systems I leant when at School. In theory, Communism has a lot of merit to it. In practice it's shit.
Correct Theory vs Practice
there is fake communism just as there is fake democracratic capitalism. but the idea that ussr for example, was bad is just usa propaganda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVWu...
LOL the USSR starved Ukrainians when it stole their wheat to feed Mosciw etc. It has the Gulags. Russia is shit now with the carry over from Stalin.
not true
then you are in the task of building communism, which ussr was doing. if not prevented by western crime, would they have made it? i think so. maybe not the ideal, but pretty damn good. if you had two earths for experiment, the usa today would crash but the one that elected stalin would improve.
No the Stalin one wouldn't improve it would always see a wealthy elite and the people wouldn't have the ability to vote for change when the leaders stuff up. Democracy isn't perfect, however it's the best of the options.
I disagree, capitalism by its very nature demands winners and lovers. It's the definition of a pyramid scheme. Taken to its natural outcome..... greed of individuals.....welcome to πΊπΈ we think it is freedom, for the majority it is servitude.
Lovers π€£π€£π€£ love autocorrect Losers!!!
As someone who is Divorced and had a few failed relationships, lovers, losers same same π
Yup, wih you,interchangeable
since capitalism gives power to whoever is winning, it always turns to a monopoly game where most of the people never chose to play a game. the limiting rules are whatever you can get away with which becomes more for the winners by unavoidable processes. it has failed everywhere it has been tried.
Too few ppl understand the true meanings of the words: #Communism #Socialism #Capitalism #WealthInequality By definition, communism needs to be democratic governance vs capitalism which can hide oligarchy or plutocracy "behind the curtain".
As soon as Communism starts a new set of elite replace the old mega rich. If it worked as intended the Communist leaders would earn the same money as the factory workers and live in the exact same size home as a factory worker all owned by the Government ie the people.
Another failure of communism in reality, who is going to invent things, advance medical science etc if they get no reward for it. People should be able to earn more than others based on contribution.
the main guy in the discovery of insulin did not want a dime. einstein worked at the princeton center for advanced study for a modest salary. people who want money invent scams. real inventors love their job. the only thing you recognize as communism is one salary for all? that's very rare
If communism worked, China wouldn't have moved to capitalism. It has a share market, people's wages differ etc. I'd say China is no longer Communist but rather a Country run by an elite group with an appointed President from the elite
stalin's estate included 2 suits and no real estate/
yeah. i think a non democratic communism, you could be no closer to it than a benevolent dictator. so ok, you have a king who keeps track of what the people want and does that. he's a hired manager but how is he selected? people will agree with stuff straight from marx if they don't know it is.
When we were first threatened, the deafening silence of the international community was heard, felt, and digested. We know we'd most probably be on our own. The US has weapons, but shredded it's top military brass. And Canada is big. Hopefully they'll self destruct before they head north.
Let's hope we never have to see who would support Canada and we never see America attack Canada. The world needs Trump gone and sanity to return
The first question of many a day is "Is he dead yet?" Gotta say he'll get a hell of a party when he croaks! π€£
I think the world will Party
When Margaret Thatcher died people got together & sang βDing Dong the Witch is Deadβ in the streets. When Orange Moron goes I wonder which song weβll sing?
We've got to get this settled β can't be caught with our pants down! π
I'd like to see Canada start inviting allies into Canada to do Defence Training exercises regularly. Have Australia and a few NATO Country's join. Keep rotating Allies in and out so should Trump declare war and attack, he'd be doing it whilst a few Country's Forces are in Canada.
Put the pressure on as that complicates matters for America
We've currently got US Marines stationed in the Northern Territory and some of their fighter Bombers. Many of us want them to leave now. Also Pine Gap
βDing dong the whiney bitch is dead.β
All of the songs. Every fucking one.
I'm sure the head of NATO has told Trump quietly that an attack on Canada requires NATO members to defend Canada so this could quickly lead to WW3.
I know people in every Country would say support Canada. I honestly don't know how our Government would react. The Aussie people would demand we support Canada.
I think everyone has been quiet because we are currently allies of both Canada and America. You are in NATO so Article 5 should see NATO support you. Maybe initially Australia would go neutral whilst pressuring America diplomatically. I genuinely believe many Americans would support you.
Also I believe many in the US Defence Force would refuse orders to attack Canada. This would trigger a US Civil war.
Silence speaks volumes. There is no trust in Article 5 for our defence from another NATO member. NATO didn't speak up. Not one person. Europe has already said it's arming for themselves against Russia, we would get peanuts at best. There are no rosy filters here. And there is no American diplomacy.
I fully understand. We don't trust America to ho our our Defence allience with Trump we're we attacked. Most Aussies don't support AUKUS and want to build Defence alliences with others and ditch America.
People do support us and we've been caught by surprise at the extent of "niceness" that's come our way. Govs is another matter. When Charlie Angus was still MP he made the response he got at a NATO conference public: dead silence. From everyone. We had to take a stand, grassroots resistance started.
The world has started boycotting America initially to support Canada. Now also to protest how Trump is treating us all.
In fairness I think tge last think NATO ever thought they have to consider is one NATO member threatening another this way. Until Trump, America would be one of the last Country's you'd think would threaten to invade friends and allies
All knew Trump. Especially NATO. They dealt with V1 & knew V2 would be worse. Can't excuse their turning their backs on us. Our soldiers are buried all over Europe. That was a hell of a slap to each of us and an insult to a nation who ensured peacekeeping worldwide and answered every call for help.
I like Charlie Angus he is a good man and a tally a rare politician as he is honest
The American Military is hobbled by its dependence on Air Power. #UrbanWarfare would demoralize the ranks & the sheer size of the country would make troops very vulnerable to resistance fighters Military technology doesn't compensate for a skilled opponent that can mimic your culture & blend in π€«
Sounds like a preludeβ¦

Absolutely. Guerrilla warfare. However, drones are now the goto, and are very effective. That's why we've got to be moving fast on making them. They don't have to put boots on the ground, missiles and drones is how they'll do it. IF they do. And that's a big if.
Whatβs Saigon called now?
