Don't even think about it.

Love, Canada

Who would be feeding Canada the weapons to take on this unrealistic war?

lurkurbee.bsky.social•10 hours ago

We’ll send you all that fertilizer you want. We pass for American and we would absolutely 100% fuck all your shit up by hand if we have to. One by fucking one, city by city, bridge by bridge, all the way to the White House with a big fucking smile and no regrets.

Europe 🇪🇺

The current situation for Russia is bleak. Assets seized with a stagnating economy in the face of stiff resistance from Ukraine.

A lot of Americans would join the Canadians.

1 million Americans live in Canada. Many Canadians live in the US. We are so closely integrated - economically, culturally, familially - none of this makes sense to both Canadians and Americans.

It's the 1% doing this. Just like they divide people over guns and religion. They want us fighting.

aurorajardin.bsky.social•18 hours ago

I live near the northern US border. We don’t see Canadians much - the exchange rate & COVID messed with that. We do have a lot of connections with Canadians & we’re all baffled. Those of us not buying into the bs think 🤡💩 is deranged, not that that helps.

aurorajardin.bsky.social•18 hours ago

You are so right. I am seeing a few nasty posts from Canadians on Bluesky blaming us for the actions of those who voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. I’ve seen the same thing amongst Democrats. The ? Is whether this is people just not thinking or deliberate attempts to divide people.

Since the afghan war had, roughly, zero effect on the US dollar and economy, and very little effect on our global standing, not sure it is the comparison you want to make

and afghan x 10 is silly

Did Amercan win?

How much did it cost?

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•11 hours ago

being a nerd, I actually calculated GDP over 2001 - 2023
it is close to 400 billion
data is here

brooklynkid53bskys.bsky.social•11 hours ago

It is true it cost a lot of money and we didn't win

accourding to this
https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/figures/2021/human-and-budgetary-costs-date-us-war-afghanistan-2001-2022

the us spent US $2 trillion over twenty years

US GDP over that period is on the order of 300 billion
so a significant amt of money, but not really that important in the overall US economy

mauigirl70.bsky.social•18 hours ago

It's a lot different if it's right on your own border.

collapse2050.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Hyperbole? US doesn't have a good track record against guerrilla warfare. Plus, US adversaries would LOVE to fuel the distraction of a homegrown N. AMERICAN conflict while they have their way with Taiwan and Europe.

1marzipan.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Anyone taking bets on Canada receiving unbelievable arms and munitions support from Russia and China? The return on investment for tying up US military forces would be unassailable.

frederickbralorne.bsky.social•1 hour ago

Enemies of the states, a persistence of Canadian guerrilla warfare as you say and discontent and active internal conflict would destroy the USA. It would go on for years. On the positive side, the billionaire's club might well be brought down permanently (perhaps they'll flee to Russia.)

collapse2050.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Plus, this guerrilla warfare would be at America's doorstep

korp44.bsky.social•22 hours ago

The (for Trump) intresting thing about Canada is that it has an enormous border of sorts with Russia, that will be VERY important after climate disaster melts the North pole. Greenland is the other key for North pole connection Russia-North America.

collapse2050.bsky.social•21 hours ago

Definitely a top reason for interest in Canada and Greenland.

Great

Canadians are tougher than Americans. They're just not so loud about it.

coautonomous.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Much deeper than the doorstep.

keaphtless.bsky.social•20 hours ago

USA, we're good invaders. But we're terrible occupiers. We have that ADHD attention span thing. Plus, on paper, at least, we're anti colonialists. We fought off the British, bla bla bla. The longer we're forced to be occupiers, the harder it gets to ignore the hypocrisy.

keaphtless.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Plus we (USA) have an almost fetish for being the good guys. We were the good guys in 2 World Wars. So on & so on. This is why we forget/ignore all the horrible shit we do. We didn't install the Shah of Iran. We never caused the Congo Crisis. We didn't kill Allende. We're the good guys.

keaphtless.bsky.social•20 hours ago

For us to invade and occupy Canada, it would be a disaster for both of us. Canadians wld never accept us. We wld have to employ ever increasing measures to secure control. It'll get to the point where the hypocrisy will be too crushing, and we can't ignore the fact we've become the bad guys.

romza.bsky.social•15 hours ago

That's you know it will happen.

djangounlame.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Good luck trying to find Americans that would even want to fight that war.

And even if it was all just Trump loons that supported the war, I'm guessing some of them would have a surprising amount of 'bone spurs' when it comes time to fight.

coautonomous.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Canadians are itching to thin out the herd of redhats.

kiwikarl.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yeah the fight wouldn't be only on Canadian soil.
