The majority of us either voted for Kamala or couldn’t vote (children, immigrants). A lot of people didn’t vote - which is stupid, but not evil. A not insignificant # of people did vote for him because they were stupid and got conned - which is maddening, but not evil. The rest? Take ‘em down. 1/
Many of us are actively trying to stop this evil. Unfortunately, there is no leadership for us to rally around, so we do what we can to protest, speak out, & create mutual aid groups. Canada SHOULD do what you need to do. You may well be the last hope. Survive. 2/
Know this, though: If this regime, or any of its successors, attacks Canada, you won’t be fighting me. If it comes to that, I am either already dead, or I’m on my way to assist Canada. Alternately, I would be fine with my family and I being there in advance. Put in a good word for me, please.
War causes thoughts to harden. After 6 months, reasons won't matter. Once our folks start killing yours and vice versa, we are solidified. Already are TBH. I'll gladly choke on my own blood before a Yank boot steps in my home. My Queen's Commission oath didn't come with a best-before date.
Bro, I’m a subject matter expert in, among several other things, interstate war. I get you’re mad, I understand & empathize… BUT I am dealing with the fascist takeover of my own country & a lot of other life stressors. I don’t have the bandwidth for ‘splaining or Canadian Red Dawn visualizations.
Sorry for being dramatic. My point was what happens to you does affect us and we have to Brace.
Again, I understand that. I have been actively advocating for Canada to do just that since Trump started vomiting word salad about you last year. I get your point without need for condescension or descriptions of respiratory tract trauma. That said, save yourself, get some Kevlar & a neck guard.
Seen!
Canadian Red Dawn visualizations 😂😂😂
A couple days later & it turns out I was incorrect about this. I have had images of this floating around in my head almost constantly. Many include a Bullwinkle-like character dressed as a Mounty. He looks grim, but stoic & resigned, like he’s seen things that will haunt him…
Mounties are just cops, so I made this one Canadian Army - if I knew AI better, I'd kit him in a Hastings & Prince Edward Regiment uniform. PARATUS!
There’s also the Canadian Stealth Air Force. Note: I am from Canadian border states that is also known for our numerous Canada Geese. They are mean cobra chickens and are not to be approached, let alone messed with. They don’t care about you. They give no quarter or mercy. All hail the Canada Goose
Having once almost been killed by a bull seal on Sable Isl (they are surprisingly fast for a creature with no feet), you don't mess with our wildlife. They will literally eat you! Actually,🤔... encouraging geese to hang around USAF airbases threatening Canada would be a great force negator for them.
We will and are. US doesn't get real info. Canada is off-shoring everything away from USA. Aluminum, potash, lumber, electricity - US is fucked. We're likely going to have to march on Washington again and I'll fight for a chance to be there. This time we'll do more than burn a few buildings.
Oh we know we're fucked. We know that the rest of the world sees the USA under Trump as belligerent and increasingly autocratic. We know they also see the US government incompetent. The time is right to start separating the US, since the institutions that the US government would normally use to...
Anyone who hates this has a lot of friends in Canada...though we can be rather blunt.
impose consequences on instransigent nations are currently staffed with people whose only qualifications are absolutely fealty to Trump. If Trump actually goes after Canada militarily, it would absolutely be his ruin. And I don't think those on the right that know that are the ones who will have...
ear should he start actually putting it in motion.
Canada understands the USA better than the USA does. We can mimic the accents, have vast social networks and friends, and can blend in invisibly. A war against Canada would be suicide even assuming (I doubt it) Yank military goes along with it.
Not to mention that 3/4 of the US-Canada border is through states that might actively resist any such action. The logistics of an attack on Canda for Trump - considering his current domestic standing - are a nightmare. The rest of NATO would side with Canada. It could very well cause a series of...
events that completely isolates the US, Russia, Israel, and maybe a few hangers on from the rest of the world.
That (accurately) said - Canada should feel free to start making overtures to blue & bluish-purple states should they want to leave the United States to join Canada. Martial law isn’t going to win friends, & the states whose economies actually fund the US (CA/MN/MA…) aren’t going to keep doing so.
I vented on you, and that was unfair. You have my full apology. In Canada we are SO frustrated and ridiculously pissed off. Like Jesse Waters better keep out of Canada or he meets a polar bear - pissed BUT: 1 US boot touches Canadian soil without our permission, they will be killed.
No worries, Friend, I’m right there with you. Without getting too detailed, I worked for the DoD, closely with NATO, on civ/mil relations, cultural competency, & capacity building. What’s been happening since January 20th is, in so many ways, my nightmare. It goes against everything I believe in.
My Uncle is a bleeding red former USAF E-9 and he's absolutely sick with what's happening. Personally, while I hope we see mass resignations, I fear the US reg forces are so warped they go full Wehrmacht. I REALLY want to be wrong, but the go along/to get along pressure is intense.
I know!!! Right? I was a staff weenie in our National Defence ADM PER branch. We rewrote the Canadian Forces after Somalia. Civ/Mil Coord and PKOPS was my profession!
Just gotta say, this is one of the most civil arguments I've seen online and I think it's wonderful that you recognize your own misdirected (albeit warranted) rage. I for one, fully support Canada coming down here to give the US a taste of our own liberation medicine. We could certainly use it now
Ego often gets in the way of learning. I have to remind myself we have 2 ears and 1 mouth for reasons.
Honestly, same.
