So it’s a protection racket. Gotcha. Brought to you by the Captured States of America.
Trump has been LARPing as a mob boss his entire adult life. This makes sense.
We need to start calling them what they are, the Fascist States of America.
I’ve been calling Republicans the American Nazi Party, or Nat C (Nationalist Christian) Party
So it’s a protection racket. Gotcha. Brought to you by the
Captured StatesThe Peoples Republic of America.FTFY
What are we in danger of? Having too many resources that don’t belong to the US? I’m waiting for someone to wake up and realize the third time’s the charm so we can stop having to entertain this idiot.
Manufacturing consent
How far off of “We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule” are we?
Trump next week: We need to invade Canada…they need help…they are forced to learn languages there, things they buy have a language on it nobody can learn… Its terrible
The United States will happily supply all the weapons our oldest ally, Canada, needs for this battle of survival against the tyrannical forces of the United States. Will you be paying with cash, credit, layaway, or mineral rights to all your natural resources?
Eat glass, Nazi.
Replace “Canada” with Sudetenland, and it’s almost literally the same quote used by Hitler…
It just occurred to me that all the major world powers want to absorb everything else around them because we’re actually just living in 1984 and this is the beginning of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.
If that stupid kid hadn’t flinched we wouldn’t be in the universe where Kirk and Spock go back and find a Nazi America.
Canada has underfunded its military for decades. Now that we have a powerful neighbour talking about anexing us, we really should start funding it more.
Yup, lets negotiate with France and Britain to let us have 5 of their nukes while we build up up our army and seek deeper integration with the future European army.
Fucking eh!
In danger from what? Moose, polar bears, climate change?
The president and commander in chief of the United States of America?
I am pretty close to the Canada border, and every day is bringing new curve balls that make it harder to tell if it would be safer to stay or go. 🙀
I mean it varies on the areas, safety from fascist takeovers is ranked from lowest to highest: blue states < Canada < Europe < Australia.
I don’t think Donald Trump would launch an invasion until after the election at the soonest as he is waiting to see if the republican friendly Pierre Poilievre gets elected with a majority government. I hope our fellow voters can see past the Canadian parallel of Viktor Yanukovych.
Interesting, why do you think blue states - oh. I was reading that backwards. I’m in a blue state. 😬
Wdym Australia last, they are practically controlled by the US already
Can you elaborate?
Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the question,
The Australian 2024 national defence strategy says this: “Our Alliance with the US remains fundamental to Australia’s national security. We will continue to deepen and expand our defence engagement with the US, including by pursuing greater scientific, technological and industrial cooperation, as well as enhancing our cooperation under force posture initiatives”
US has these military facilities in Australia (and more secret ones):
“Australian Defence Satellite Communications Station – located near Kojarena 30 km east of Geraldton, Western Australia. Other U.S. bases in Australia are present and this list does not include ADF bases with U.S. access. The U.S. military has access to many ADF training areas, northern Australian RAAF airfields, port facilities in Darwin, Fremantle, Stirling naval base in Perth, and the airfield on the Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean.” Wikipedia
US also has a Rotational U.S. Army, Navy Presence where they bring their submarines and provide financial benefits to many military services they can use (RAAF bases and the assisting in manufacturing of missiles and other weapons). There are 2500 US marines on permanent rotation
According to US gov “The United States is Australia’s defense goods and services partner of choice” and “The U.S. has over $27 billion in active government-to-government sales cases with Australia” most of Australias military equipment comes from the US including their nuclear submarines
Also most aggregiously
“As documented by CIA whistleblower Christopher John Boyce and several authors, including John Pilger,[7][4][6] as well as some Australian politicians,[8] the CIA allegedly backed Governor-General and representative of Queen Elizabeth II in Australia, Kerr, to dismiss Whitlam, due to Whitlam’s perceived left-wing policies[3] including Australian withdrawal from the Vietnam War, as well as his views on Australian sovereignty.[3] His conflict with the CIA is alleged[3] to have come to a head when he discovered several CIA-led operations occurring in Australia and overseas conducted by ASIO and ASIS, leading him to threaten cancellation of the lease on the Pine Gap facility, ending the US-led (nominally joint) operation, which was integral to the CIA’s signals interception operations in the southern hemisphere”
"In a statement to parliament on 3 April 1974, Whitlam said: “The Australian government takes the attitude that there should not be foreign military bases, stations, installations in Australia.”
He was then sacked and replaced by a more agreeing pm by the CIA Wikipedia
There are also numerous traid agreements that leads to Australia relying on US for a lot of its financial security (though it relies on China and Japan as well). And also many Australian companys are US owned/funded
This is all the research I have time to do but there are many, many more examples of American interference and control.
Edit: also America controls most of Australian media including News Corp Australia (owns most newspapers and News Corp is also the controlling shareholder of Foxtel and it owns Sky News in Australia. And much more)
also the American controlled ABC is the most visited site In Australia. And controls a lot of other media
This VP Trump is boring
I mean he isn’t really wrong as much as people hate to hear it. We have relied on being next to America for decades and have cut our military spending for decades. It is not a party issue as both have done it.
And in danger of what the world is changing and Canada needs to get it’s shit together. I thought cocos would have been the wake up call, but maybe this well be.
No, this is a crock of shit. Our best defence is the logistical nightmare of invading over an ocean, which we happen to be surrounded by three. No yank has ever died in defence of Canadian soil, only Canadian lives have been lost being dragged into foreign US wars. If we’ve let our military be underfunded it’s because we haven’t had any significant threats, and if we need to fund it now it’s because our only significant threat is the USA.
I mean yes, but what are we in danger of? One main reason we’ve dropped our military numbers, as far as I understand it, is that we don’t have any serious enemies that are close to home. Russia invading over the artic has been the only “close” enemy, and even then it’s been totally unrealistic for that to occur.
As much as it pains me to say it as an American, you’re in danger from the US, now. It is now a fascist dictatorship with imperialist goals.
I mean it’s a bit on the nose even for Trump - “you’re in danger, from us, so we’re going to invade you so we won’t threaten you anymore”.
Beyond that it doesn’t matter what we do as a country for military funding/improvements. If the US wants to invade, they will. It’s literally impossible for a Country 1/10th the size to defend and win an outright fight. It’s the occupation/pacification/integration bit that Canada would fight back on with guerilla warfare and have a chance of keeping them out, but that has nothing to do with military funding/spending
What do you expect from a country that believes it can bomb others into “democracy”?
(Saying that as an American. Also, I’m sorry, please take in vermont as a territory we’d make a great addition to the maple syrup confederation)
While you’re aren’t wrong, what do you think we can do militarily to stop the nation with the largest nation in the world, 10 times the population, and one of the largest economies in the world? I don’t think we can get out of this by spending more on our military. Spending more on our militias, and include unconventional warfare training? Well, I don’t think that would stop the invasion, but it would make the occupation a nightmare.
Getting rather tired of premier trumps bullshit I wish he’d take is loosely collected provences of the non European content and fuck right off
( You can read premier as provincial leader or the guy who answers to Putin what ever catches your fancy)
