Or, maybe it's not (just) distraction. Maybe he is seeding interest amongst the Canadian magatards. Maybe this is designed to give traction to Dani Smith and her ilk, to create division and internal strife.

Maybe Trump and the repubs have been following a playbook for all his Canada talk... maybe Putin's playbook on Ukraine.

Trump's latest remarks come only days after Pete Hoekstra, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said it's Canadians who are fixated on the 51st state talk, and that sort of rhetoric is now in the past.

These idiots can't even keep their bullshit consistent.

Hoekstra can't keep his bullshit consistent with his own bullshit a few seconds ago when he denied his previous bullshit after being called out on his bullshit being bullshit.

CANDU doesn't use enriched uranium. So unlike other nuclear powered countries we haven't built enrichment capacity necessary for power and weapons.

Worse, the new SMR projects being built make us dependent on the US for fuel since they use enriched uranium.

I would gladly welcome New England as our 11th Province and Cascadia as our 12th.

Even better, I would love to see a balkanized USA. The current monster is a sclerotic ossified polity incapable of adapting and changing. They have created such a strong central government that everything is a cosmic battle between 2 megatribes and they all hang from the balls of 3 swing SCOTUS justices, 5 swing state senators and 1 crazy POTUS. That's an insane concentration of power.

The US is just too coupled for what it is. An EU-style semi-autonomous decoupling would make everyone that much happier: when Slovenia adopts weird gender rules, Portugal can just shrug and continue. Hungary gets to cosplay Frankoism while Spain sends ships to protect the Gaza Flotilla.

So, the US could happily break into some sane set of (10-20) self-coherent countries that can freely experiment with their laws, political cultures structures and constitutions. Let's also get an independent Quebec in there for good measure, and let's have an EU-like loose confederation with freedom of movement from the Darién Gap to the Arctic Ocean.

For fuck's sake.

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 325d

State politicians are as much pussies as Canadian ones, so it will take time for everyone to grow a spine, but the US is certain to collapse, and the easiest path to collapse is state run tax strikes and secession. Normally fair secession involves a fair division of assets and liabilities. Fascist department of war invasions of states and cities, and fascist defunding attacks on blue states while propping up red state industries with tariffs at expense of every consumer gives a declaration of war pretense for immediate secession of all cooperation with zionazi/oligarchist regime. The zionazi/oligarchist grip on state politicians allied with national parties makes them pussies, just as the CIA forces all of our politicians to be pussies.

The dissolution of the US will come as a loophole to cancel all of its debt. One state going on a tax strike or seceding is an extra straw on the camel's (already trembling) back, and war against that state would be a further straw. Obvious to all that disolving the union and starting over makes much more sense than "peacefully accepting their share of zionazi debt". Any division or internal war is unsustainable for US.

Canada and China can greatly help with refederation of US states. It would be good for Canada to welcome US states. Market access to China is good for any new federation. If protecting a domestic auto industry makes sense, then Michigan being part of Canada makes sense. Agriculture sector in Canada has pressured Ottawa to stop being stupid. Most red states are dying due to 0 agriculture sales. US climate terrorism for Skynet is going to make electricity scarce for Americans. Forcing blue states to be extorted by red state energy, and narrow purple state tariff subsidies, requires complete zionazi slave pussies gaslighting their people to tolerate and sustain.

Arkouda@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 326d (9 replies)

The information I have seen leads me to believe that something really fucking bad is about to happen, and WW3 is about to kick off for real.

  • Canada and the US are still far apart on any "deal" that would see the tariffs go away, and Canadians likely are never going back even if the relationship thawed politically.

  • Trump renamed the "Department of Defense", to the "Department of War"

  • Trump is currently sending troops to Portland. (I believe I read it was close to 1,800. Please correct me if wrong)

  • Days later, Trump starts talking 51st state bullshit again.

  • Let us not forget that Putin and Trump are friends, and any issues between them are 100% performative.

Meanwhile:

  • China seems to be readying an attack on Taiwan.

  • China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

  • China is also buying up anything they can to get rights to our rare earth minerals.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia has also been poking around the Arctic.

  • Russia has been invading NATO airspace for some time now, specifically around where the leaders will gathered this week.

  • Reports of Russia potentially opening up a NATO front in the war with Ukraine.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

  • North Korea has been pushing some boundaries recently with South Korea.

I am missing a lot because I am just pulling from my memory (As an example the Saudi/Pakistan treaty that I didn't read into enough) but it just looks like this is it. I am not trying to be an alarmist, but I don't see these signals going any other way than directly to Global war.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 326d (2 replies)

Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

That's a bit dramatic. They agreed to some deals, and wrote a press statement about how they're BFFs. There's still no way in hell Russia trusts either, and so vice verse, and NK/China relations are a whole weird thing. Ditto for India and China, which have made the impressive step of no longer openly beating each other with literal sticks over territory.

But yes, there are many, many powder kegs waiting to go off. The only question is if it could actually go hot, or it will stop at proxy wars, espionage and tradefare like the last time.

Arkouda@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 326d (1 reply)

North Korea and Russia have a military alliance as North Korean soldiers were fighting in Ukraine with Russia under Russian control.

I agree that it is a press statement being BFFs, but China has been supporting Russia's war efforts with Russia saying they would also support Chinese war efforts. It is definitely a weird alliance, and they most certainly do not trust each other, but they are clearly working together to be a counter to "Western" influence and are likely going to increase military, intelligence, and trade ties.

I hope that it stops at proxy wars, espionage, and tradefare. I just do not see it as likely given the climate.

CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org · 0 pts · 325d

It's true that the three have become kind of aligned, I'll give you that. But, "alliance" implies something like NATO where an attack on one is an attack on all.

What you've mentioned are cases of Russia buying things. The NK troops were sent in exchange for technology and goods. China won't even sell devoted military hardware, only dual-use civilian technology.

humanspiral@lemmy.ca · -8 pts · 325d (5 replies)

China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

Categorically false. Everything else you said is propaganda speculation. South Korea, recently, has made closer relations with DPRK.

Anyway, you're probably just very confused, but which side of WW3 do you want Canada to be on? No Trump and Russia will not be on same side.

I’ll go back to the US when Trump and his cronies are dead.

I’m pretty much done for life unless there’s a Nuremberg-style event for all the ICE cosplayers. Trump is only the tip of the iceberg there’s so much more trouble waiting in the depths.

"You know, I've got no direction to, you know, continue a dialogue on the 51st state. It hasn't been in play for months," he said.

Fucking Hoekstra. What a cock-gobbling sycophant.

Can the west coast, Hawaii and upper east coast of America become Canadian provinces?

No. Secede and make your own country.

The precept behind this is that Canada needs the Golden dome to defend itself from Russia or China. What's lost is that NORAD defends the US from Russia. We should be paid to protect the US from Russia.

If we choose to not demonically hate Russia and China, as a carbon copy of US dictated demonic policy, then there is zero need to defend ourselves from what what we do not threaten. A nuclear attack on Canada involves us crossing a dementia line, where even if we're not the active threat to human countries, exterminating Canadians is viewed as a net global positive. Europe is far ahead of our dementia, and a legitimate threat to humanity in its demonic fascist evil, we would STFU quickly when US bases in Europe are nuked. We already do not need NORAD for defense of Canada. Our section of golden dome would only be to protect the US, and so if they want to build it, they MUST pay us to build it. They also need to start paying us for NORAD. Chinese missiles will not go through Artic to hit US, and again, the best defense is to stop being stupid vs humanity, and being part of same alliances as US.

What the fuck are you talking about?

We don't need a golden dome. The only country that will ever be a threat to us is US. If the US wants a golden dome they need to pay us to help with shielding their pure evil.

The other lie is that "its free if Canada gets burdened by huge US historical debt" (all resulting from department of war)

That there is no leader or media in Canada explaining this basic reality to Canadians proves our colonial status and our brainwashing to desperate slavery.
