“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.
This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.
I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.
This is what Canada needs to do.
I’m just hoping the chaos he’s causing internally will take down the USA sooner than he can invade.
The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.
The entire world benefits from a strong America.
What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.
Well, we’re about to test that hypothesis. The world is going to have to go it alone for a little while.
The entire Western world benefits from a strong America.
By the time this is done, there very well may not be a concept of a unified Western world any longer.
We’re on track for this to be China’s century and Trump is accelerating the process. If the US turns its back on Taiwan as it has with Ukraine we will have a new world order.
China already controls the supply chain for a majority of critical minerals through strategic partnerships with resource rich nations. If the US continues to turn its back on its allies it will be the end of its golden age as the preeminent world superpower.
They will not survive a war with Canada. We won’t beat their military in direct combat but the insurgency right next door which can easily cross into their homeland, hit some of their most populous cities, and hide easily in Canadian wilderness, would end way faster than Afghanistan and Vietnam with the same outcome
Yes there’ll be suffering on both sides, but it’s suicide. I’d rather he accomplishes that another way but fuck it
This. Just remember everyone, pipelines are everywhere and soft.
Always worth mentioning that it was more of a Geneva Checklist before we teamed up with the Polish.
There will be a civil war in the US if it happens because way more than half of americans don’t want to invade canada
I’d like to think so, but seeing how most of the population of the US is very disconnected from and apathetic about politics, current affairs, or anything outside of their personal bubble, I’m not going to rely on that possibility.
They will pay attention when their prices skyrocket. Other then that they are braindead to anything else. I say, let it happen.
Maybe, but there’s a good chance that they’ll blame Canada.
On one hand, more than 50% of Americans read below a 6th grade level so it wouldn’t be surprising if they misattributed the blame. I doubt many would be able to tell you what a tariff is or how it works.
But on the other, greater than 50% are not pleased with how Trump has handled the economy thus far and the consequences haven’t even hit their wallets yet.
Americans are extremely disconnected politically but if there’s one thing they care about its the price of gas. If that goes up substantially then they will blame the president.
Best case scenario
Most likely scenario.
