Yup, that’s a fair and accurate analogy. As I child, I never thought I’d be this embarrassed to be an American. Don’t get me wrong, the older I got the more embarrassed I ended up being, but one fuckin retarded clown made all that stuff both enhanced, and minuscule at the same time.
If you profit from chaos - current economic system requires to profit any. Problem for everyone else: if your power (and responsibility) is for a country and you only look at yourself.
During the presidential debates i likened it to debating a chimp throwing feces. It doesn't matter how smart you sound or calm you answer questions, the chimp will sqwack, jump around and throw shit at you and everyone. So no matter how hard you try to keep decorum, everyone just ends up trying to react and dodge the shit being thrown. And that's what GOP like. They've been allowed to be as outlandish as they want in order to be on the offensive and control the narrative.
Trump negotiated a Free Trade deal with Canada in his first term, then in his second said that the deal was a bad, unfair and bad for America. He said whoever made the deal didn’t get a good deal…. but it was his deal.
No deal with trump is above board, if he can't 'gain it all give nothing' he will not consider it a 'fair trade' and will bitch about it, and will likely go against it anyways. Heck, even if he DID consider it good, is a good chance he will go out of his way to give nothing promised. The man is NOT to be trusted, AT ANY LEVEL, and even walking to the table is silly, your just (at best) wasting your time. Fuck trump, Fuck the USA until they can put him in jail (Along with his pals)
Carney's good at playing chess for his own benefit. Not for Canada's. Although that moron Trudeau didn't really leave much of anything useful for Carney to work with, either. Oh well.
I’ve found that pedophiles and people who post Nazi shit especially disliked Trudeau. Didn’t take long for me to find Nazi shit in your comments. Hopefully your inclinations end there.
Baboons eat pigeons? I wouldn’t have even considered them in the same ecosystem, now I have images of baboons chasing pigeons Hannabarbarely in my head. TIL
and that's exactly it. What protections would we be able to get in an agreement if the US doesn't keep it's agreements? We can hold out till there is a new government (if that happens in the USA) or make a new path forward without the USA. It will be painful, but we can do it.
That's what happened to several countries at the start of his 2nd term. He went after china three times over minerals, each time having some agreement then month later going after them again. He's trying to run a protection racket and find who he can bully. And he uses them to bounce the stock market. Every time he went after china US mineral stocks jumped. It's all about him fucking with others to make the stock market react and print money for him and his buddies.
I used to play poker with a bunch of my roommates back in the day and they were all super into it, like being able to tell you the odds that the next card would give you such and such hand, and while I never won the whole thing, I did do really well because they had no idea if I was bluffing, because neither did I.
Had a guy flip the table on me saying "that's not what a pro player would do!" I had called a crazy hand and won. I don't play poker and it was like 5-10 bucks buy in. Fucking crazy
There was something during WWII, other armies would say that the US was so effective in the field because of the chaos. Nobody ever knew what they were going to do, not even themselves.
That's something Americans tell themselves. The Canadian Army far outperformed US forces in Normandy. We actually met our day 1 objectives and overcame a beach that was as heavily fortified as Utah.
It's a joke, but true. The US military pushes leadership and decision further down than any other I have seen (never worked with CAN). This means that, when things gonsideways, the US is more adaptable and able to make instant decisions. It really is preparing for chaos.

If you opponent is just going to shit on the board and eat a pigeon, then it is your job to shit on two boards and eat three pigeons!
jammer909
Like playing against the pigeon. The pigeon struts around like it owns the place and shits all over the board.

trump is always talking about leaders not "holding all the cards" meanwhile most of them are playing chess.

Also, if the baboon realizes it's losing, it might decide to rip off its opponents face while no one does anything to stop it.

I read that as an allusion to the "pigeon playing chess" saying, it knocks all the pieces over and craps all over the board.

Could sign a perfectly good agreement one day and then the next, Trump will invade Canada anyway.

Yeah that is a no. We are talking about TACO trump.

Its impossible to plan two or three moves ahead when you lr opponent just sticks the pieces up his own nose.
