The one really positive thing about Trump’s firing the CJCS and Musk and DOGE attacking the Pentagon is that it’s awesome for Canada and Greenland/Denmark

As a German I can tell you that european companies are currently looking in all directions to reduce dependancies frin the US, whether this is supply chain, services... the US will feel the economic impact. As a European I hope that inner european trade will surge under Trump.
Except that there may be no ethics, no rules of war, nothing that may be considered a war crime. Civilian collateral damage, eh, so what. 🤷♂️ He said he wanted Hitlers generals according to Kelly.
I'm wondering if this combined with the Pentagon firings and the lack of VA services and other aid for veterans will eventually spark a Praetorian revolt. Most who join the military don't want to fight, especially in needless and pointless conflicts like those Trump is telegraphing.
I’m pretty sure Canadians take no pleasure in the dismantling of American democracy. It’s bad for everyone. Canada will be fine and will come out stronger after forging new alliances with trusted nations. But this didn’t have to happen and I for one am bitter towards anyone who supports/ed trump.
I'm Canadian and almost your age. This is the first time in my life that my American neighbors frighten me. I see the US as an existential threat to my identity and survival as a Canadian. The US is no longer a partner, but rather an enemy in the making. Trump-Musk are very sick and dangerous.
I'm Canadian too and share your concern. With Trump firing the military’s top lawyers, it means he's ready to order them to do unlawful things. Those JAGs interpret the law for military commanders and if we look at Trump's playbook, the replacements will do whatever he orders the military to do.
I’m American and for the first time in my 60 years I’m afraid too. There are so many people who are not against Canada 🇨🇦 we’re appalled by what he is saying just as you are. Scary times indeed.
Could DOGE please lay off the people who carry the nuclear codes brief case and have them come back in a few years that would be appreciated. Apparently they mistakenly laid off the people who push the missle buttons so the codes people aren’t needed anyway
There was a rumour circulated at the time that Ronald Reagan had problems remembering the code, so had it changed to 12345678.
It remained so for some years after he left office.
First we will need to find a country or facility large enough and willing to accept all of the unhinged psychopath Trump supporters as they will be considered terrorist extremists once the US becomes Canada's cherished 11th Province. 🇨🇦
Canadians with certain skills should likely start stocking up on things we need to make any incursion on our land extremely painful. We can’t go toe to toe, but we can make it like trying to eat a porcupine. Vets, police, MNR Officers, EMTs, hunters…prepare quietly. US gives up on all wars since ww2
I never thought of living next to a psychopath who wants to kill me and squat in my home while his drugged up buddy is smashing whatever he can’t steal, as “awesome”.
Trump could not have done this on his own, he's geriatric, and mentally incapable due to his worsening dementia. You just have to hear one of his ridiculous speeches to realise it.
An unprovoked attack on one NATO member is an attack on all NATO members. Ergo, Denmark is fully within its rights to attack Trump back. Trump and his Russian pals are to NATO as Butch Cassidy was to freight trains. I suggest an amphibious landing at Mar-a-Lago by the Netherlands Armed Forces.
That Friday Night Purge at the Pentagon, incl. the removal of ranking JAG officers, is straight out of the Trump playbook. The only things that threaten him more than expertise and continuity are independence and integrity.
As USA is no longer our (Europe’s) allied we should hire some of the fired US army top officials. It will give us valuable knowledge about what is happening behind enemy lines
Also, Hegseth wants to dramatically reduce the military budget. As a result, we won’t have enough military resources to invade Cuba let alone Canada AND Greenland.
Reading his bio, retired Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine would have been a solid nominee for Defense Secretary, instead we got Pete Hegseth, the dimwit, second-tier Fox News host.
This is what worries me. He's backed off the tariffs a bit, the comment by the press sec opening saying Canada will soon be the 51st state. It has me super concerned, in a way I never thought I would be.
The military is made up of thousands and thousands of men and women sworn to the Constitution.
They can change those at the top with thugs and criminals but the heartbeat of the military is in the rank and file.
It’s not difficult for me (a retired intel officer who served 20 years and led troops) to picture service members, who are integrated, young, and not dominated by bigots in the ranks, REFUSING to obey an unlawful order. Under penalty they WILL protect the country before they’ll serve a dictator.
we could just drop him off at the foot of Yonge St into lake Ontario & point him at Rochester.
Surely with that much blubber he'd float & maybe a friendly boater will tow him out of the harbour past the Island to the open lake.
if he makes it, he makes it.
We focus on Musk, but let's broadly assign blame to all of the other oligarchs like Zuckerberg and Bezos who enjoy the benefits of Musk's lawlessness while maintaining lower profiles & doing nothing to counter it. The phrase that comes to mind is unindicted co-conspirators. Monopolies need to end
When Trump eventually decides to send troops across the border into 🇨🇦, all will have to do is employ the Roadrunner’s Wiley Coyote misdirection strategy and watch as the only troops left attack North and South Dakota. 😏
We need all 4 branches of the military to get together and plan their military coup against this ridiculous excuse for an administration and imprison everyone from Trump on down! Hopefully they’ve already started!!
Get off social media and lead! Organize a march on the white house! On the capitol. Someone HAS to be the start...who?
There are millions of us watching from outside, waiting for one person to back up, there must be more within the US itself. Who's it going to be? Time is a BIG factor now⏱️

George, if they’re threatening high profile people like Adam Schiff, how do you think us nobody’s feel who have been verbally sparring with mega Bros for 10 years. Shit I could be in gBay for a week before anyone notice.
The shit is hitting the fan…I don’t think laughing at these fascists is going to be sufficient now…not sure we can recover…not enough to hope that 🍊🤡 fascist, kicks the bucket before his 5th term as president.
I don’t think so. If anything it raises the already bad odds of really happening. Now with yes man at the top, it’ll be much simpler to coerce lower ranks. CQB would never allow this shit to happen, but MAGA lobotomized minion has no thinking skills.
Trump realistically would need to withdraw from nato before doing anything since his plan is likely to get Russia help which he can't do while US part of NATO, the real reason he wants to withdraw from nato might be he forsees making deals with Putin etc, he does not understand how weak Russia is.
Also great for those of us who will not willingly allow a dictatorship to form here.
Now, we can hope these highly intelligent, highly experienced, highly principled military members to help the rest of us stand up to a would-be dictator if the time comes when that is all that is left.
We will end up taking you guys as a territory of Canada. We won't make you a province yet. You will stay a territory until we figure out what's going on.
You are correct in the territory/province analysis. Territories are more closely tied to the federal govt. Will need to closely scrutinize them to prove their trustworthiness.
As a Californian, I am good with that and throwing in Oregon and Washington and a few other states as well. Let those MAGAMorons have the rest of the US ... they'll leave the Western Seaboard 😊
Fucking stop George! Your sarcasm may get you $ as a TV pundit, but you and your ex helped make this hell possible. And while wealthy ones like you will be ok, many are and will suffer. Sick and fucking tired of your jokes.
Until you realise that the guys now in charge of the US military were put in place for loyalty to Trump, and not competence
They run the most powerful military in the world, they have been promoted way past their ability, and are taking instruction from a guy who thinks like a 4th grader.
The DEI crusade is an excuse to remove people of color from the ranks and especially those in authority. How is Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. not qualified?

Putin will have Russian money flow to Criminal Trump's businesses.
That's why Criminal Trump is firing the oversight attorneys!
It remained so for some years after he left office.
I'd like to think that wasn't true. But....
While first defense ground forces are being deployed the full length of the southern border.
🇨🇦
When the turn there attention to canada, Mexico and greenland who will stop them from breaching their sovereign boundries?
Dr. Strangelove…?!!🤣🇺🇸

And, it's a long way from Canada.
Oh, I see. You’re being sarcastic.
Right?
Trump could not have done this on his own, he's geriatric, and mentally incapable due to his worsening dementia. You just have to hear one of his ridiculous speeches to realise it.
He's being controlled.
By whom?
And what happens when Trump is no longer useful?
The orange faced rapist has spent years dividing the nation with his lies, and in one week he has united everyone against him.
The black, the brown, the women, the men, the DEI, the whites, trading partners, and Allies are all now united against the orange faced rapist.
The Dutch haven't played any part in this so far.

And Russia your friend. A communist dictatorship with no real wealth, just a sociopath as a leader who happens to own Trump for some weird reason.
and you want to destroy this nation...just in your own way
Though was hoping that there would be some principled people who would refuse to attack us.........
That’s Project 2025.

if he makes it, he makes it.
So if he turned up there, he'd have made illegal entry into the country.
I'm a big fan of karma.
Dad was an RCAF Loan Officer at the Pentagon for a couple of years
We have all the maps
Sorry, you’re being sarcastic.

Truth, save me....
