Do you think he excused himself to go to the shitter for rage tweeting, or is he doing it while Merz is there watching?

Did he find a loose window in his house?

Makes sense. The US is running low on shithead podcasters after they gave all of them cabinet positions.

Reciprocal tariffs aren't a very effective response. Those apply to physical goods only. Manufactured goods we don't buy much from the US anyway and they have little to offer in that regard. Resources are a topic where Canada could become a major player. Just make sure to not trade in US Dollars.

I don't think tariffs would be a good idea. Our response needs to be asymetrical. Forge new trade alliances with free nations around the globe, e.g. Canada. De-dollarize our foreign trade. Regulate the shit out of the broligarchs and close the tax loopholes.

The US destroyed an insanely profitable and long lasting alliance with the world’s largest trading bloc in favor of a third world dictatorship that is now openly mocking them. Art of the deal.

Russia is not happy with their lackey's performance. They have to do a lot better in order to earn an audience.

There's nothing antidemocratic about a parliament doing its job until their term is up. The fascist AfD won't be able to block this reform, as much as you'd love to see it.

Just now on TV he told the AfD leader to her face “I will never sell out my country for Putin”.

Comprehensive constitutional reforms followed by decades of stability. Not going to happen.

There should be a special summit of the free world, not just the EU. Let’s get together, deepen cooperation and defend our way of life against all threats old and new.

Great, now step down and make way for Pistorius

Not only that, he effectively abandoned all allies. No one is going to trust the US anymore. They are alone.

They don’t need to raise anything. Donnie is going to give them everything without even asking.

It's coded language for "we're backing it up with nukes".

Now is the chance for the EU and Canada to sign a deal of a lifetime, if only leaders on both sides are smart enough to recognize it.

Or the firing exercise is related to YP3

They definitely did notify US, UK, FR, as it is in their own interest. You don't launch a potential nuke without making sure there will not be an immediate counterstrike.

The first one was.

US, UK, FR must have been informed beforehand. You don't just launch an ICBM towards Europe without being damn sure there won't be a counterstrike.

Now that I think about it, "None if use_default" isn't just cryptic, it's downright misleading.
comment in response to
post
It was somewhat of a contrived example, but yes. Now imagine that you will also need brackets in your match arms.
"None if use_default" is totally cryptic, and doesn't convey the intent at all.
Things can get really ugly with match guards, look at this mess:
Some(n) if n % 2 == 0 => Parity::Even
comment in response to
post
Consider this:
if let Some(n) = x {
n
} else if use_default {
0
} else {
panic!("Expected a number")
}

It makes me wonder, are there any liability laws for damages like this? Could this ship, and other ships by the same owner, be confiscated to cover the cost of repairs?
This should be the policy for cases like this IMO.
comment in response to
post
Also, many people don't seem to know this: you can do `if let - else if`.
I find that much nicer than match guards.
comment in response to
post
If you need braces in your match arms, but if let is both more concise and one level of indent less:
match x {
Some(n) => {
0
},
None => {
1
},
}
if let Some(n) = x {
0
} else {
1
}
