When will America realize that this is not a joke. They'll be laughing right up to the goosestepping.

Canadians: Greenland must be the line in the sand. Non negotiable.
And Canadas next. This is not a drill. The orange shitgibbon and followers are not joking. Canadians will need to defend this country ourselves - even as our leaders continue to appease and suck up to the rogue US regime.

There is still hope…
I’d like a faster processor.

This is the only answer.

I don’t, but also I’m fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You’ve got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won’t solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.
I’m gonna vote, too, even though I fully expect to be arrested at some point for TDS because I voted for someone he didn’t endorse.

In this hypothetical scenario, maybe you could just renounce your citizenship (and stop paying taxes to the US).
In all cases, retaliation against a fascist regime will destroy lives, but it’s generally the better option. I mean people suggest to stop trading with the US or crash their economy, this is not victimless either.
I plan to renounce but I need to be able to help my parents if they need it. Family comes first here. I do not have to pay taxes, just file them; especially with the weak Japanese yen, I don’t make enough to need to pay anything.

That’s exactly what the people being deported from the US are feeling.
Indeed. It’s terrible and it’s also the reason we don’t visit family in the US (my wife is not a US citizen and barely speaks English). I do not support it, I voted against the current administration, and I have removed as many US companies as possible from my life.

If Greenland was actually invaded, it’s part of the EU in all but name, and the whole EU would now be at war with the US. Even if we have no treaty (outside of now-completely dead NATO) and don’t join in, the US probably invades us to make sure, ala Iceland in WWII.
I guess there’s a possibility Denmark cuts and runs. In that case yeah, there’s probably nothing we can do.
If we were invaded and had a treaty with Denmark, the US would be at war with Denmark and hopefully the WWI cascading treaties thing would kick in and, again, the US would be at war with the EU. And probably the UK too since they have proximity to both the EU, and us through our sovereign - ignoring one is possible, but both seems like a tall order.
Of course, the goal is to deter invasion in the first place.
It is part of the European Union and also NATO. In theory if there was an invasion then Denmark could call their NATO allies to defend it

Exactly.
Confirm your trusted networks and trusted comms. Start planning ahead. Store 72h of food and water, make sure you have spare gas for generators. Establish meeting points. Stock up on first aid and medical supplies. Set a family rule for breaking news: “confirm before share” (at least two reputable sources; pause on ragebait, defend against disinfo social fracture. Get to know your neighbours, get involved in community, learn patterns.
If you have firearms make sure you have needed ammo and supplies.
If you have budget, learn to build and fly drones… Start with a cheap sim.

See, but the US is half of NATO. One major NATO member fighting another is not handled in the rules. It’s just a dead letter at that point.
(Also Greenland isn’t technically in the EU, but I think it’s close enough for these purposes)

This is done because there are no consequences, no repercussions. A convicted felon and rapist is in charge instead of in jail. The checks and balances of their system have long since failed.

I might need to borrow your axe there bud. Wouldn’t mind an extra set of hands to wield it if needed

Organizing also gets you labeled as terrorists. Just ask CAIR, and soon many others.
True enough, but it’s harder to deal with a movement that would be guerilla in its execution compared to going out blasting in a blaze of glory.

When will the rest of the world ? Not a peep from my shitty governemt here in Australia, we just keep doubling down and buying weapons from the US, nuclear submarines of all the stupid things.

Republicans want to add new states and are looking for conservative ones so they can keep control.

Feet first, too.

You’re gonna need that submarine if you go to war with your biggest trading partner at the behest of America.

What people hear when you say things like this: Ah, so this is business as usual, and while it sucks for the people affected, keeping my head down should continue working to keep me out of trouble. I’m powerless to fix this stuff, anyway, so I should just dissociate and worry about my own problems.
And then they don’t show up for elections…
Ah yes, elections will fix everything in the USA, just vote harder next time.
Just to make what I am saying as clear as I can without someone putting words in my mouth: The existing system is functioning as designed and as it has ALWAYS “worked” , and if the people of the world are going to have a chance to survive they need to destroy the current one, and replace it with one that cares about people and the planet, not just profits.

Hey cousin!
We just bought some over the horizon radar from you guys!
Unfortunately we’re also contemplating buying some locked down F35s that are sure to be kill switched by the US when they decide that they want our resources. I think we need to accept that the F35s are not going to happen, and instead get the Gripens. At this point it’s seems like the height of stupidity to trust them, especially with our military hardware.

Yeah, that combined with the big servicing challenges for the F35s really makes me think getting them isn’t the right move. For once the glacial pace of Canadian military procurement helped us.

There are many who actually believe the midterms will solve this.
I don’t, but it won’t hurt to voice how people think of the Admin and Congress.
Voicing dissent against the Admin shrinks the permission structure of its actions. Trump feels emboldened if the people have his back, and trepidatious if not.
Trepidation to a child-like tyrant might mean the difference between nuclear launch codes being used or not.
Ultimately elections mean nothing consequential in the US, but that doesn’t mean they can’t influence some politicians.
