The article is relatively short, and I didn’t want to try and summarize it in case I introduce my own biases. Here is the subtitle:
The emphasis on making deals and showing quick results is coming at the cost of a long-term vision
How about identify what the USA needs from us and stop shipping those items? Softwood, potash, steel, aluminum, water, to name a few. Maybe if we start, the rest of the world will join in and starve the USA into negotiating.
Cut back on border security and military spending that was only done to keep Trumpet (he makes a lot of unpleasant noise) happy. Use that money to pay the workers and businesses affected by such a strategy.
at this point in time i am not comfortable cutting back on border security and defense spending.
Sure. But spending it in the US on equipment that they remotely control (F35) is even worse.
i thought the remote control stuff was debunked.
Damn straight, we have 1k CBSA and 1k RCMP being hired, along with quadrupling defense spending by the end of the decade. Personally i think we need to move faster.
We could destroy the White House again.
Doh! Too late, he’s already doing that.
we will never win a conventional war with the US. We would have to use guerilla tactics.
Little Ukraine is holding it’s own against Russia - and Russia is being run by far smarter people then those running the USA.
We can crush them on the international stage. The world loves Canada and hates Trump. It wouldn’t work out very well for them. We can starve them of potash so their crops whither. We can do small drone attacks like Ukraine to cripple strategic facilities.
Also, lots of Canadians look like the type of people the Neo-facisit US government likes. White, English speaking. We can cross the border, plop on a MAGA hat, and do lots of damage without being suspicious.
No. We can’t win. But the US can’t either.
i know your going to say “i dont look at X media” but you really need to look at facebook, X, other social media of how many people cheer on trump and even wish the 51st state was a real thing. IMO online, their voice is outperforming actual people who don’t want that crap, and its dangerous when you see that, because those are voters
The USA is itching to become an authoritative state because they don’t realize wholly what this means. What they want is people they don’t like, and actions they don’t like, to be controlled. They forget their own freedom is part of that same formula.
I like watching 1st Amendment audits on youtube. It’s amazing how people of all political sides and all walks of life want to see someone put in jail just for taking pictures because they personally don’t like it.
This is what years of American exceptionalism brainwashing has done to the US society. Children get gunned down in school and the parents still think everyone owning guns make them safer. Measles are coming back. Polio probably isn’t far behind. Trump lies directly in their face about something easily debunked and they smile and nod.
The thing is, these idiots will not flourish under Trumps 4th Reich. When the shit really starts to hit the fan, they’ll fold because they’re stupid cowards. When the food runs out and the power becomes unreliable, they’re not leaving the house to fend off the “bad guys”. They’ll sit at home and cry.
I don’t trust comments on social media because it’s been proven time and time again there is a huge amount of bot activity to up the numbers on the MAGA side. Compare social media with real life actions. A post promoting Trump will get a huge number of positive reactions yet Trump can barely fill half a High School gymnasium for one of his rallies. Look at Trumps big military birthday parade. MAGA losers wouldn’t even leave their couch to celebrate their King. They’re not going to take a bullet for him.
I think there are bots, but from what I’ve seen on account histories, sadly I’m more inclined to believe that its organic accounts posting or relying to content. This shit has gone so far, that i was playing an online game in which i never saw anyone talk about politics, that people were cheering on hilter and trump and using derogatory names for muslims and refugees and immigrants. they went even as far as getting a character named similar to adolf hilter, outit style and color as close as possible, got a object in the game that is a fireplace, and put bodies around it yelling (its a chat feature when typing for it to be broadcasted further on the map) juden! juden!. people drawing swastikas all over the main city areas. people cheering on white power. I was like “what the fuck is this” and sadly a game i played for a long time has turned into this political platform for far right messages, and the cherry on top is the company (cipsoft) is based in germany.
We could destroy the White House again.
Nah, that would mean crossing the border, and even that isn’t a good enough reason to go to the states.
To be perfectly fair, rocket-propelled explosive technologies have come a long, long way even in just the past 30 years.
You could potentially get it done with a few kilos of C-4 and a DJI drone.
need 2 tracks: 1. put out short term fires. 2. unspecified long range vision
Long term vision has to decouple from US military empire. Any defense spending has to be to protect from US empire instead of being its usual colonial stooge for force amplification. Speaking of it makes more short term fires. Both short and long term pressure on foreign auto makers creates short term fires too. Assisting US’s demonic Latin America policy does not put out any short term fires.
So track 1 appears to be “do nothing so we can die slowly”. All discussion of track 2 is led by CIA stooges that want us to continue being CIA stooges. Absurd arctic defense scare instead of welcoming any investment that we are not doing for Arctic development.
Every speech permitted in track 2 discussions is traitorous speech. Failure to understand who our enemy is, and gaslighting that it is still the CIA enemies, puts track 2 firmly on the wrong track.
T’was the oddest thing. A nightmare literally just woke me up. Trump corrected me on something, it made sense and he was right. The notion was so profoundly absurd that it startled me awake.
Thanks now I’ll have new kinds of nightmares.
