When you profit from chaos, you need the power to create chaos. What a sad world when economy cheers the one with most profit regardless how it’s made.
I attended a more or less average high school in an average Missouri county seat town in the late '50's, and the textbook we used for American history covered only up to the end of WWII. But the teacher only made it through Woodrow Wilson. I used to dig up bullets from old Civil War skirmishes with my dad and his metal detector, but her history class only spent a week on the Civil War.
Just kraznov. And his family. And their collaborators. And their backers. And somewhere around a combined 70% of eligible voters who either voted for der fuhrer or failed to vote against him.
Trump and Republicans have done so much to destroy America's standing on the global stage, I truthfully don't know if we can ever recover. It will take a complete rejection of Republicans, like Nazis in Germany, to even begin to start repairing the damage. Even then, we're probably in for a generation or two of "good behavior" before the world will trust us again.
We have to fight a war to regain control of the country first. We are split in half on that, so it probably isn't going to happen. Badically, it will likely take aggressive action by the US government that starts a war in which we are defeated and split up. The America we knew is gone. We had the chance to stop this in 2024, but we bent over instead.
Trump was mad and wanted to get stuff out Canada. So he demanded tariffs from them, hoping they'd concede and just give him what he wanted.
They didn't. Instead they introduced a dollar per dollar tariff as a response. Trump is now pissed, and is threatening to raise tariff's again, which would trigger Canada to automatically raise theirs in response.
The alternative is to be vulnerable to this bullshit over and over again. Telling the US to go fuck itself is a far better option for us for long term stability.
Every version of the US demands I've seen has things Carney literally cannot agree to. Quebec language laws are provincial, as are liquor buying decisions. He can ask the provinces to play along, but we all know what the answer will be, Frechette will laugh, Eby and Ford will just say no.
When he threatened annexation Canada should have walked away from the table for the rest of his presidency. So should every other nation he threatens. Hang up. Block his number. Replace everything he thinks you need him for.
100% this. Unsure of the intent of the artist here, but making it seem like the "Trade War" blame is equal? Like fucking hell. The U.S. flag should be on the missile, too.
The truckers (the people) of both counties are being equally harmed (dollar for dollar tariffs) by the trade war that trump foolishly started over nothing. No need for heavy-handed imagery when we all know exactly who is at fault here
Honestly, it should just be a picture of trump on the missile. The average American wants good relations and trade with our northern and southern neighbors. It's just racists loud minority parroting Fox News.
Yet the average American has voted for both democratic and Republican parties that have taken trade action against us to score cheap political points at home. American's words are cheap and valueless. Americans can't even be bothered to take to the streets against Trump. Why should Canadians believe that Americans care. You don't. Only when it affects you. Words are cheap.
But enough of a minority to get a majority of votes, and in turn, inflict a majority of misery upon not only Americans, but the rest of the world.
Shit, America got rid of the fucker, and they brought him back. I don't care if he cheated his way back in or got back in because racists and pedos are more mobilized than not-them, but this shit has been decades in the making and nobody did a thing to change course or mobilize until it was too late... Americans are the fatted calfs of the world
I can't argue with anything there. It has indeed been decades in the making, both Republicans and Democrats have broken our systems and helped make broader reaches for the executive branch that trump is excessively broadening more each day.
It's Trump and his narcissistic bully ego who expects Canada to only trade to countries he sets, what products Canada can trade and how much of it they can trade. In others obey his demands or else. American companies will suffer further from this dumb trade war.
so, they're passing the projected-profit losses onto their now former employees in addition to the consumers, cant say its unexpected, but it is still extremely fucked up they just dump employees like that
Don't lump us together. US wants the power to veto any deal Canada makes other nations. Just asking that at the negotiations table is an insult in itself. US, sort your shit and stop electing pdf scums
you are going to want to talk to the people who sit elections out cause "there are no good choices." cause they are unwilling to settle for the lesser evil long enough to give it time to actually do anything or have grown so apathetic they rather give their fates up to the people who do go to the effort to vote.
deciding to go for the most evil seems to have done more damage faster. at least with the breaks on it would of been an easier repair. now who knows how long it could take to clean up, if we ever manage to get to the clean up. i know it wont be in my life time.
there's no point after he's gone either, trump rewrote nafta so he could have his name on it and then pissed all over it. What's stopping the next republican president from tearing up all of the treaties as well? The paris accords, NATO countless other deals treaties and agreements have been torn up by trump mostly just because a black dude signed them. Most troublesome for everyone the iran nuclear deal.
Yeah, the Trade deal isn't happening until he's gone, lol, people "worried" about lettuce are getting laughed at for being traitors. To have significant food management concerns during a trade war is a sad bargaining position to have, I don't think too many Canadians expected a deal after the bridge debacle.
The Iran deal was an absolute masterstroke... Iran was complying with everything, including nuclear inspections, then comes Mr Art of the Deal and blows it all up, *after* US had already released all Iran's frozen assets that were the leverage for the deal back to Iran. Effectively, Trump gave Iran their billions back in exchange for Iran having no further obligations, while simultaneously erasing all the leverage the world had over Iran.
its worse than you think, the opening volley of the iran war killed the one iranian leader who was staunchly opposed to nuclear weapons, and at the same time convinced them that they would be safer if they did have nuclear weapons, what with trump basically sucking kim's dick
Absolutely. You morons let this happen again and are continuing to let it happen. Words are cheap. I've seen 0 evidence that the vast majority of Americans care about anything but themselves.
tell me, does that include the trans americans whose rights have been completely demolished before their very eyes? or the black and indigenous americans who haven't had any real semblance of rights for centuries?
This Imgurian doesn't care about those who have less voting power and voted >85% demographically.
They only promote "results matter". They don't care about anyone poor who didn't vote, anyone with mental health issues, etc.
They many times (comment history) made it clear none of the other Americans matter. We are all the same to them. We didn't stop it and their rage is more important than actual people with limitations regardless of how powerless.
Yes, all of you. Clean your goddamn mess. It IS your responsibility to ensure that your internal politics don't undermine your relationships with your closest allies. America is eating itself alive, and the rot is spreading. Cut out the cancer before the rest of us are forced to do it.
Well can you hurry it up a little? It's been 10 years of Trump already. The policies that man represents has already led to the deaths of millions. His environmental policies could result in the deaths of *B*illions more. The world will never forgive America. Fix this now.3
the difference between a liberal and a leftist is that a liberal (especially a white liberal) will gladly eradicate black people if they think doing so will stick it to trump.
