Nobody seriously believes Project 2025 is real, or that the USA will backstab Ukraine, or that they would turn against the rest of NATO, or threaten to kick Canada out of Five eyes, or…

When will you fucking guys wake up? Your country is being taken from you and you’re all standing around like “nuh-uh, no one can be stupid enough to do that!” Well I have news for you: there are people that stupid, and half of your countrymen are equally stupid.

Our Prime Minister and Foreign Minister believe Trump is using tariffs to force an annexation of Canada, just as his idol McKinley tried in 1870 (he also failed miserably)

Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China.

What? No.

Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).

Yeah, we all doubt it: 0.2% of US fentanyl came form Canada. Zero point two percent!

Oh well, I guess there’s nothing anyone can do about it then. Tomorrow Americans will have moved on to the next Trump-induced horror and be equally ineffectual about it.

“Suspicious” is putting it mildly: it averages more than one car sold every minute at each of those dealerships.

How long would it take SAAB to ramp up? We’re supposed to receive the first tranche of F35s next year.

Trump renamed Denali the mountain but not Denali the park? That seems appropriately half-assed of him.

I had to do a triple take because of the double negative in that title.

I’d be on board with that, but it doesn’t solve the short-term problem. I seriously doubt our CF-18s will last another 15 years.

As long as there’s no other living creature within their line of sight, they are!

This would be easier if another ally (or an ally, rather) made a 5th gen fighter, but there are none. We’d be stuck either with ageing platforms or waiting another 10-15 years for Eoropeans to finish one of the 5th gens they’re working on.

That’s OK, there won’t be any more elections in the US anyway, so 538 is no longer needed.

Agreed. I’d like to see him in Von der Leyen’s job once she’s out.

Bald eagle = overrated and cowardly

Canada goose = looks goofy but is a bloodthirsty killer when provoked

Yup, this tracks.

Edit to add more, because I feel like it: Bald eagles are basically vultures who occasionally fish. They are opportunistic scavengers. Canada Geese on the other hand are very chill, standing around in groups foraging in the grass, but are not afraid of anything. If you get too close they will not escape or even flinch — instead they will either hiss at you, threateningly walk towards you, or lunge at your face and fuck your shit up:

It was still a completely naive and idiotic thing to say and doesn’t show the forethought and strategic thinking that comes with being a good CEO, especially one of a service that could literally put people’s lives in danger if jeopardized.

The combination of AI, crypto wallet and CEO’s pro-MAGA comments (all within six months or so!) are why I quit Proton. They’ve completely lost the plot. I just want a reliable email service and file storage.
