They’re “investigating” every public official who gets in the way of their Nazi activities. This is what Nazis do. They won’t stop until they’re stopped.

Last Wilson heard, he was employed by a large US-based aircraft company.

Uh oh. Does it begin with B?

I think it’s a real threat, not just a dumb thing to say.

And he may put tariffs on you anyway, so that’s a wash and you may as well do what’s right. If your country doesn’t push back, he’ll come for you sooner or later. Mark Carney take note.

If an election is held.

And then the media will carry endless pieces debating “both sides” of the elections vs dictatorship issue. Although they won’t call it dictatorship: they’ll call it whatever Stephen Miller decides it should be called.

Might be worth it to wean the USA off its violence-based political and economic systems.

They are assuming they will heroically conquer Greenland first. Then there seem to be about 10 other countries on the USA’s “to invade” list. The USA is a sick country.

Calling it a joke is too charitable to this fascist.

I know it’s pedantic, but many of them are ex-military. It’s part of why they’re so primed to shoot anyone they find inconvenient.

The USA also has a deeply ingrained sense that every problem can be fixed through violence, if you just kill the right people the right way. A good chunk of the public may react by demanding escalation.

They happily murdered Iraqi civilians in the streets for years. The guy who shot Renee Good is a former US soldier in Iraq. I don’t think the US military is actually full of courageous individuals who will take a stand against illegal orders based on a rock solid morality.

I can’t see Carney committing troops. He seems firmly committed to appeasement, which never works and will signal to the USA that Canada is wide open for the taking. His whole “elbows up” thing magically melted away the day after he won the election.

“The Canadian Armed Forces are not initiating any new operations at this time,” said government sources, adding that Canada stands “shoulder-to-shoulder” with the people of Denmark and Greenland, which is an autonomous Danish territory.

Standing shoulder to shoulder kind of requires actually standing shoulder to shoulder though. Otherwise it looks like calling “I’m right behind you” while running the other way. And this doesn’t send a strong message of solidarity to the USA.

It’s really important not to discard functional hardware now, even by throwing it into recycling. It’s more useful intact and may not be replaceable forever.

Someone needs to show Trump different maps.

They also seem to think “fuck at least 2/3 of America”.

He knows the Europeans will put up a token, face-saving resistance but have no enthusiasm for a full-on shooting war. Unfortunately this may be a correct assessment. But Europe and its allies still have the power to disrupt the US economy, and should seriously plan to do so if the US doesn’t back off.

I was thinking more that they’d like the idea of better surveillance of their own population. If that happened there might be an incentive for them not to make it affordable to own capable hardware.

But if you’re right about what you just said and China of all places ends up democratizing tech around the world, that will be something of a silver lining.

That’s why they have to make the hardware unobtainable. This is well underway.

Most of us already are, when you consider how much Amazon hosts.
