A Deeply Fractured US

[Navy_Pete]

You mean go after criminals like Antifa in woke democratic controlled cities? Send them!



That's cute that people in central and eastern Canada think they're included. When Trump says "canada the 51st state", he really means the western provinces. He doesn't need any more democratic supporters.

Based on what, replay of years old footage of pasts protests he saw on Fox?

He's clearly hitting the strides of dementia with the suggestibility of a particularly slow 7 year old, and no, he doesn't just mean the West, he means the entire country (including the Artic).

Anyone who thinks the US wouldn't annex Canada as just a protectorate with no democratic representation should take a look at this bridge I have for sale.

Bold of you to base your assessment on bits from media you don't even trust

There is a difference between watch actual footage and making own conclusion from it vs hearing what a talking head has to say about same footage.

They would in a heartbeat if they could get away with it and still keep whatever is left of their reputation.

Would be interesting to see if the US would allow US gun rights to apply within an annexed Canada. Arming those Canadians opposing this, even if it’s 1/2 of 1%, that would still be 200k people creating armed mayhem throughout the US.

Good thing ya'll buried your prohibited rifles

If the US invaded Canadians would line up to report their Canadian neighbours to the RCMP for having guns.

Forcibly annexing Canada would be a colossally stupid move - which is why they might still consider it. That being said, while the US is experienced in fighting an insurgency, these insurgencies have one constant: the insurgents are fundamentally different than the US troops. A Canada/US insurgency brings no such constant. Imagine fighting a foe who looks like you, for the most part sounds like you, and understands your culture nearly as well as you do, and can completely blend into your society. What could go wrong?

There is a difference between watch edited bits of actual footage which you assume (by your own admission) paints things in the worst possible light and making own conclusion from it vs hearing what a talking head has to say about same footage.

FTFY

Ha you guys are so fun. Keep on believing.

 

[Jarnhamar]

What could go wrong?

If I was advising Trump I would suggest he offer new Canadians, refugees, international students, and TFW's shiny new American citizenship if they turned on Canadians if they seized ground and property. Destroy some key infrastructure. Maybe offer up PEI or Nova Scotia as the new Mini-Gaza.

Thanks. Make Ontario Gaza. Leave us alone, we just want to be little Boston.

Plus, lots of inter-connected families.

Not to mention that half the country down there would be sympathisers in not insignificant numbers

The new capital of Brampton will have a problem with that

Trump says U.S. is in ‘armed conflict’ with drug cartels after ordering strikes in the Caribbean

U.S. President Donald Trump has declared drug cartels to be unlawful combatants and says the United States is now in a “non-international armed conflict,” according to a Trump administration memo obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, after recent U.S. strikes on boats in the Caribbean.

The drug problem is in fact a war by proxy, so the response seems appropriate.

Setting aside how utterly bullshit it is to characterize a crime problem as an ‘armed conflict’, the U.S. has now adopted very specific and meaningful terminology in characterizing this as a Non-Internwtional Armed Conflict. In doing so they subject anyone involved in it to all the duties and protections of the Laws of Armed Conflict, and applicable customary international law. Adopting the terminology to enable the things they want it to permit also demonstrates an incremental movement in U.S. state acquiescence to the continued development of surrounding international norms, even if the U.S. isn’t signing on to particular treaties.

So... Canada would be justified in blowing up trucks in the US that may be smuggling drugs?

Or gun stores that maybe complicit in allowing arms trafficking?

 

[Remius]

Or closer to home. imagine if provinces and police forces refuse to enforce gun buy back etc. And the federal gvt decided to activate the military to do it. I imagine many cheerleaders of what is happening down south would be changing their tunes pretty quick.
