Do try. The more you try to split us apart the more we unite against common foes.

We Europeans might bicker a lot and not see eye to eye on some things, but our lands still bear the scars of mankind’s worst moments. We know better and see right past the vain attempts at manipulation.

And yeah, we have some dumbass extreme-right parties in many countries (including mine) being heavily funded and/or encouraged by Russia and the US, just like we saw with Germany’s AfD. But we’re already taking measures against that sort of influence, thankfully.

Yeah… Agreed. One bad and aggressive statement often takes a whole lot of diplomacy to reconcile. And we should know, just look at Trump crashing the US soft power built over decades in a matter of weeks.

Understandable. They do support Canada, but politics are usually a subtle game, and since the orangutan has less tact than caveman they do better avoiding to upset him with open and confrontational support.

Not like he’s prone to notice such subtleties without someone pointing them out to him on a full powerpoint presentation anyway.

That’s what happens when you give a toddler access to the nukes. Being tactful is a must, until unavoidable.

Yup. This is not just about who gets to lead Canada, it’s also about who can protect it against foreign malicious interference. Now more than ever.

It’s time for cohesion, both internally and with allies, not division.

Did someone else hear a shout that sounded like “I’m not special!😭”? Down south?

Eh, must’ve been the wind.

What happened to the whole “let them fight each other, we don’t need to be there” speech?

Probably the same that happened to all other “on day one” speeches, I assume.

Heck yeah. Go Carney.

What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.

It’s hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don’t want to let them make the first move on you.

As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.

Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As did those who didn’t have the choice to begin with.

Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.

Yes, yes, every piece slowly falls into place. *Cue maniacal villain laughter

It’s like they actually studied history, to try and replicate the desired results as identically as possible. Or they didn’t, at all, and this is just 2+2=4 scenario but with history.

Oh? I was under the impression you didn’t need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?

Hm… I propose a fair trade - you might even call it “the best deal ever”. Our eggs, for your cards.

Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn’t do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.

Yeah. Agreed.

Yeah, wild. NATO can’t help Ukraine or accept it, should stay out of the conflict.

But then wants to use the Ukraine conflict not only to take Ukraine down, but also dictate the rules on how NATO and bordering nations operate.

How about we just take you down and you get your own Nuremberg trial while we show the world what happens to dictators?

Seems like a plan to me, specially so your western orange buddy can see how little we think of your ilk and what we do to them.

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

Shouldn’t even be up for consideration at this point. Buy jets from trustworthy people (like EU), and if you want total defense independence start building the framework to build Canadian jets for when these ones approach EoL.

If anything it’s cause for national insecurity, given that if they invade, per NATO rules, an attack on one is an attack on all.

But Trump is used to getting what he wants by breaking the rules and facing no consequences, so I guess it’ll be a FAFO thing.

I must admit, I do fear that if it comes to that NATO will fight the usual way - strong worded letter. For a buffoon who can’t even read and only responds to a fat stick to the face.

Inb4 Trump starts invading because 2-3 MAGA nuts from Greenland said they wanted to be part of US, so that’s plenty of reason for the whole Greenland to need it as well - “they’ll see why it’s good for them once they’re ours, trust me”.

That’s great to know, and will try to compare. Can’t say I had yet trouble with Jerboa, but then again only today did I start to nuke my reddit history - initiating the full switch to Lemmy. Any info is always welcome, stay well! 😁

Thank you so much for your perspective. I’ll be sure to check them out as soon as I can, and as I increasingly integrate myself in this platform. Cheers! 😄
