    Canada, getting ready to invade, has amassed 90% of its population along its border with the United States. The longest unprotected border in the world.

    They have a threatening lead on zamboni technology!

      US, Russia and Israel. Rest of the world will also (have to) take sides. Only China will stay neutral until it turns the tides at some point being the big winner of it all (similar to the US in WWII).

      I hope we don’t burn it down, it’s such a pretty building. It’s already been damaged enough by the megalomaniac.

      I’d be OK if we just turned it into a Spirit Halloween for a season or something.

        Eh, it’s really not that cool and ultimately is just a weeb’s (roman style) idea of what a parliament building should look like. A rip-off of a rip-off. That’s not even me being bitter about recent events, I remember not even knowing enough to hate the US and visiting DC in highschool and I just could not care less.

        We probably should burn it down with how awful he’s made the interior look with all that Temu gold plating and crap.

        Burn it down so they can start fresh. You’re never gonna get the Trump stank out of there.

          It’s very explicit that you don’t have to agree with the rules of war, nor do your opponents, for them to exist and apply. You think the people currently jailed in the Hague were fighting in otherwise-clean wars?

          If you rape an American, you’re just a rapist.

            No rape.

            But creatively ending lives of Nazi invaders.

            If I kill an American I’m a murderer.

            If I kill a Nazi, no I didn’t.

          That’s just… factually wrong. Greenland is an autonomous part of The Kingdom of Denmark, and has therefore been a member of NATO since it’s founding in 1949.

    Suspicious old me, I have to wonder, did Prime Minister Mark Carney know a head of time that if he sent any Military personnel to Greenland, Trump would impose another 25 percent tariff on Canada, like Trump is threatened to do with the four other countries that did? Canada did not send any soldiers to Greenland as a sign of solidarity, as I thought he would have. I wonder why?

      I don’t think Trump’s tariffs on his country’s imports are as effective a threat as Trump thinks they are.
