            We’re in a thread talking about the only other choice we had for president vs Trump, because of what Trump is doing as president, and you’re going “well aCkShYuALLy” about it.

            When faced with two choices (which itself is a problem that needs to be addressed), the American people picked the fascist pedophile over “woman who laughs weird” (something the GOP actually tried to use against her during their campaign).

            she was also an american imperialist she made that clear.

            If you’ve got any proof of that claim, lay it out for us. As someone who does not pledge allegiance to any politician in any way, shape, or form whatsoever, I would be very interested to see what you’ve got.

              People who didn’t vote for Harris didn’t choose Trump, they just rejected Harris.

              You don’t get to propose Nazi light as an alternative to Nazi pro and demand people vote for her, which is what happened.

              If she was a viable candidate, people would have voted for her. He won by the toss of a coin, because people wanted neither.

                This is part of why the 2-party system we’re currently stuck with is so problematic.

      I think the panama canal will be next. Easier than those two and makes the statement he’s serious about it. So they can better take his deal and be grateful

      Which is why they’re bombing Nigeria? They threaten white settler states like Canada because they know settlers will care more about themselves than people in the global south.

      Maybe Greenland but Canada no way. Canada will put up a fierce fight and a LOT of Americans will defect to fight for democracy rather than live under a pedofile king and his circus of Nazis

          I see Canada more likely to be like Afghanistan or Vietnam. I definitely don’t believe one strike would win anything. I was raised by a delta special forces Vietnam vet green beret and he would constantly say NEVER underestimate guerrilla warfare. I just don’t think they would be subdued easily and I do think they would be skilled with guerrilla tactics and withstanding the cold. I think the friendship between Canada and America would be a huge blow to troop morale. I don’t think Mexico would fall easily either and 99% of Americans in the west anyway have Mexican friends(very bad for morale). I think Mexico would put up a fight and I think both countries would wear down the moral of the military and cost way too much. The only effective strategy would be to do an internal coup after heavily propagandizing the populations of the countries and I do see that as a possibility for Canada

      I would argue we’re already in WW3 it’s just not a full on “hot” world war quiet yet, this might do it though

        The US inherited it from the British, there were people already living here. They have been invading sovereign nations in the name of the US since independence.

            The 1700s. Whereas the last skirmishes of the Indian Wars ended after WWI. Europeans invaded the sovereign nations that were already here and then the US, after independence, continued to expand westward into places where people already lived.

                Howbout you go reread their comment and do some math.

                The Wounded Knee Massacre which ended tribal resistance and completed the conquest of their land happened in 1890, and then the “Renegade period” went on until 1924.

                  Holy fucking shit too many of you talk about shit you do not understand. The US is still occupying those lands and intends to eradicate Native American nations. If you also actually read my comment, you’d see that the person above was trying to explain something (inadequately) that was outside the scope of what I was addressing.

                  Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.

    Maduro and Trump are friends

    Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.

    Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator

      As I’ve already replied elsewhere where you(?)'ve also spammed this comment, Trump doesn’t have friends.

      Trump has parasites who take advantage of his stupidity, narcissism, and pettiness, and now also his dementia. And I suppose at some point, before he was so far gone, he might have had marks he was talking advantage of.

      He’s psychologically incapable of friendship; he’ll betray anyone without a second thought the instant they’re no longer of benefit to him, or someone convinces him to, which these days doesn’t take much effort.

      And he’ll die before (knowingly) helping anyone for free.

      If he can’t give Trump something shiny enough, Maduro is fucked, no matter how much of a friend he might believe him to be.

      I could see that, but let’s not attribute this to Trump. His dementia has him checked out most days. This is down to his handlers whispering in his ear.

    Honestly, having oil reserves is a national security issue at this point. Until they find a way to cheaply ruin oil reserves, no country is safe from the US.

    If you want to defeat us, peace hasn’t worked but starvation sure as hell will.

    I am not seeing enough Star Wars memes in my feed after this.

    Maduro Leia and Trump Vader would be a start.
