    My money is on Greenland in 2026. That land is small enough that America could conceivably take the whole place in one bite. Trump is a bully: he likes little people who are isolated, because he can violate them easily.

    Canada and Mexico are large enough, that they can actually punch back and give the bully a bloody nose.

    Taking greenland would help surround Canada and could be useful in intercepting shipping and flights from Europe if America did want to annex Canada.

      The Canadian establishment’s love and adoration for everything the US does gives a chance for elbows up just being patient gaslighting. You should understand that chance as a probability when Canada’s military and diplomatic policy has persisted in its colonial service to US despite their attacks and threats to us.

      The CBC’s coverage of this is sickening in its normalization of US evil. More than usual is needed because their marching orders is that our adoration and devotion can only increase from here.

      If you’re a pessimist chickenshit then get out of the way and let others do what they need to do.

      I’m under no illusions about Canada’s dependence on the US. I’m also under no illusions about what we need to do to break it. I am also aware that there may be pragmatic decisions that need to be made to best position ourselves in the time we have (or don’t have), including eg acknowledging our previous condemnation of Maduro while condemning violations of international law, or slow playing our resistance to the US as much as possible to both buy time and to allow them to hang themselves.

      But I’m not willing to disparage my country, retard progress or demotivate the people courageous enough to fight, in order to come across as a ‘cooler than thou’ cynical edgelord. You’re not seeing something the rest of us don’t see you’re just an obstructionist dick.

        Instead of cooler than though edgelording, the only path to economic respect is to end militarist sycophancy and mission support for the US. It’s not a matter of demotivating people, but instead a wake up call. Disparaging the establishment’s apparent unwillingness to fight is support for any courageous people.

          Carney saying that “If CIA declares a winning candidate illegitimate without evidence, Canada will always agree”. Dictators and unconstitutional rulers in Israel and Ukraine, the CIA does approve of, are so legitimate to Canada, we send them money.

          Tucker Carlson recently argued that Canada is an illegitimate country because we allow assisted dying, or perhaps abortion. Canadian government is likely to agree to its own invasion, at this point, so long as CIA appointed governor is transitioned to peacefully and promises freedom and prosperity.

          Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada stands by the Venezuelan people's "right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society" after U.S. President Donald Trump announced American forces captured Venezuela's president early Saturday morning.

              Aren’t we already a vassal state? Sure we are “apposing” American produce well shopping at Walmart and Costco. Eating at resturants owned by American companies, going to our national parks were all attractions are owned by American companies, using American tech. I mean the list goes on and on.

              We are not supplying our troops to fight for the US across the globe (NATO obligations aside.) We have free elections. We are free to set our own social welfare policies. While we can always strive more for additional separations and greater sovereignty there is a lot further to fall if we don’t learn lessons from around the world.

                      The tepid response from other major powers will just embolened Trumpie.

                      The whole reason of invading Venezuela was about “narotics”. The same thing that Trumpie has been railing on the past about Canada and Mexico.

                      Venezuela was just a test case.

                          Yes. Martial law is being used to prevent even local elections which would allow Ukrainian cities/regions to choose to liberate themselves. Demanding absurd 90 day ceasefire to hold fake rigged elections or keep destroying the country.

                            This time America invaded a smaller, weaker, and more or less isolated country, and kidnapped a not exactly liked dictator. It was a safe choice, and a test to see what the global reaction is. Though I’m sure the profits from Venezuela’s oil will help recover from post-AI bubble recession.

                            Judging from the reactions, the operation was a major success. Next, the empire will attack a bigger, stronger and less isolated country, and kidnap its democratically elected president. Let’s see how many times it can repeat this process. I’d rather not, but it looks like that’s where we’re going.

                              We already are making deals direct to mexico and plans with Europe and China. If the USA continues on this illegal war path we will have to replace them… with the help of the world.

                              USA exists by extorting other peoples resources. If people stopped dealing with them totally they would struggle

                                      I don’t even know what oil profits there will be. It’ll cost tens of billions to refurbish the Venezuelan oil industry and while their oil reserves are massive, they’re also extremely low quality and cost more to refine. And to what end? The US is a net oil exporter. Flooding the market with cheap Venezuelan oil will just crash the price and fuck up the domestic oil market.

                                      Which I guess is the point, if the goal is to ultimately internally destabilize the US to allow tech bro feudalism to take over?

                                        Canada and Mexico are large enough, that they can actually punch back and give the bully a bloody nose.

                                        Especially Canada. Could you imagine trying to secure the world’s largest land border, when it’s so easy for partisans to blend in and pass as locals? The terrorism would be off the charts. Especially if the Canadian government starts giving people access to military explosives and arms?

                                          Especially Canada. Could you imagine trying to secure the world’s largest land border, when it’s so easy for partisans to blend in and pass as locals? The terrorism would be off the charts. Especially if the Canadian government starts giving people access to military explosives and arms?

                                          The way ICE is, just about anyone can claim to be a member of ICE and do whatever they feel like. If other nations decide to do stuff on American soil, they will have carte blanch to do as they will.
