Canada

Yes, Putin invaded Ukraine on the premise that people need protection from Ukrainian government.

Trump has been LARPing as a mob boss his entire adult life. This makes sense.

We need to start calling them what they are, the Fascist States of America.

How precise are Canada's targeting systems? I don't want a war with you guys because my idiot president will carpet bomb your cities...you could theoretically end this whole fiasco in 3-5 preemptive missile strikes...just putting that out there if anyone has the keys

Please do it, we need help.

So if you go to Washington,
Its buildings clean and nice

EDIT: Seriously, though, the last time a fascist regime had their capital burned it only made the fascists stronger. You can use the imagery of a burning White House to keep yourself motivated while you participate in the boycott of American products and services and engage in other activities to help the Canadian economy weather the upcoming storm, but actually trying to burn the place would just make things worse.

This should go without saying but this is Lemmy, after all.

If you completely block all those things you practically guarantee they invade us for "national security".

The double edged sword of international trade, we all sink and swim together. Last time the US had an economic recession, it was felt worldwide. The last time the US had a depression WW2 happened.

Trump next week: We need to invade Canada...they need help...they are forced to learn languages there, things they buy have a language on it nobody can learn.. Its terrible

American speakers will be protected

Putin style

Harper came out to say that worst case if he was in Trudeau's position he would have just dealt with the bad economy for a few years until Trump gets replaced.

(Edit: my opinion from here) Introduce help measures like during COVID (some form of UBI) and regulations to prevent banks from seizing the property of those losing their job due to the tariffs and yeah we would end up with more debt as a country, but we would keep our sovereignty.

Responding in a slow pace is a feature not a bug : the toddler in chief will get bored and might go get is dopamine with another target, while we redirect export elsewhere

Yup, lets negotiate with France and Britain to let us have 5 of their nukes while we build up up our army and seek deeper integration with the future European army.

The president and commander in chief of the United States of America?

I mean it varies on the areas, safety from fascist takeovers is ranked from lowest to highest: blue states < Canada < Europe < Australia.

I don’t think Donald Trump would launch an invasion until after the election at the soonest as he is waiting to see if the republican friendly Pierre Poilievre gets elected with a majority government. I hope our fellow voters can see past the Canadian parallel of Viktor Yanukovych.

No, this is a crock of shit. Our best defence is the logistical nightmare of invading over an ocean, which we happen to be surrounded by three. No yank has ever died in defence of Canadian soil, only Canadian lives have been lost being dragged into foreign US wars. If we've let our military be underfunded it's because we haven't had any significant threats, and if we need to fund it now it's because our only significant threat is the USA.

I mean yes, but what are we in danger of? One main reason we've dropped our military numbers, as far as I understand it, is that we don't have any serious enemies that are close to home. Russia invading over the artic has been the only "close" enemy, and even then it's been totally unrealistic for that to occur.

Protectung us from who? The United state was the only country who tried to invade us
