Nobody is invading you man, calm the fuck down. The worst case outcome is a catastrophic trade war where we all suffer.

Americans need to organize in efforts to reach out to Canadians et. al.
How much does it cost to rent a billboard in Toronto or Berlin??

juliesirrs.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s because over half of Americans (Trump voters and non-voters) just rolled over for Putin, so they’re not very perceptive.

loganws.bsky.social•2 days ago

well the US is famously chill when people say things like "death to X" where the US is X. Historically chill.

nokakistime.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s extremely offensive because we have a mob boss and a Russian asset in our White House… no other person would threaten our neighbor and ally like this. It’s disgusting!!

kevinwhitejr.bsky.social•2 days ago

A few years ago, MAGA started making noise about cutting off aid to Ukraine and everyone said cooler heads would never let that happen. Now we’re using American satellites to provide Russian targeting data.

Canada should arm to the teeth.

Enlistment application is were way up last month, and many of us vets are looking at re-enlisting

jamalgreene.bsky.social•2 days ago

Especially if those other countries’ leaders were cheering on Putin and saying Ukraine started the war by choosing to defend itself against annexation.

I agree. It’s not a joke!

epbwrisci.bsky.social•1 day ago

Agreed.

bunnyjenkins.bsky.social•1 day ago

I understand. We here in America were all laughing at the stupidity of Trump running for President, and every scoff since, was and is a huge mistake. They hide behind a viel of incompetence, and say outloud their intentions. The reliance on us dismissing the obsurd is a tactic to placate us all

donnahwalker.bsky.social•1 day ago

I get it. I’m horrified and sincerely sorry.

ulrichw.bsky.social•2 days ago

The US is the most powerful nation in the world. Only a few other countries are powerful enough to shrug off a threat like this, even if there's a good chance it is not serious. Telling them to just "calm down" shows the same lack of perspective that the threat itself does.

philstr.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, the NYT reported it! He literally stated that the border as it stands is invalid, and that he wants to move it!

I'm going to lose my fucking mind with people who think he's just "joking".

mcopelov.bsky.social•2 days ago

Again, this should already have ended Trump’s presidency. It’s incredibly obscene while 🇷🇺 is in 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼, & incinerating our ties to our NATO allies is something that should disqualify the GOP from being trusted with national security for a generation. This is all deadly serious & shameful.

desertloner.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes agreed how do I end the GOP?

bobcat777.bsky.social•2 days ago

Little guy over here still feels like you’re are friendly neighbor to the north.

I’m sorry for those that do not.

mcopelov.bsky.social•2 days ago

Anyway, don’t tell 🇨🇦 or Canadians to “calm the f*ck down.” It’s incredibly obtuse, wildly offensive, & we should be focusing on the fact that 🇺🇸 now is so deeply broken that the probability on this is actually above zero. We should be apologizing to the Motherland & demanding Trump immediately resign

Canada would like that too . We miss Biden and those 4 normal years.

canavart2.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Thank-you! I appreciate that some didn't vote for this, but we have more important things to worry about now. We know that nobody's going to step in to save us and that we're going to have to fight.

shanana70.bsky.social•2 days ago

You’re so right! I grow more and more astounded every day that this is happening! It’s so obviously deadly and serious and I feel so gas lit by MSM and the Dem leadership! When did supporting Russia and abandoning allies become American?

Does the fact that he's changed the US policy on Russia all by himself with no input from anyone make it a Treason offense?

toddwalker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Have we learned nothing in the past 10 years? There is no line too insane for this man to cross. If he says it aloud, there’s an army of cronies scrambling to make it happen.

tomrows.bsky.social•2 days ago

I understand the seriousness of what is going on in your country and mine. I do not discount the threats.

Heck Americans don’t realize how offensive and dangerous our orange overlord is.

michaelnoller.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just look at what trump is letting Russia do to Ukraine. They are bombing and killing their people. Trump is completely relaxed about it.

sbmitche.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely

oldhoundderby.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yup! I’m sure if President Xi announced at a press conference that China’s official policy was to “end America”, Americans might be a bit rattled. 🤷🏻‍♂️

fritzswanson.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think you are giving @jhweissmann.bsky.social way too much credit here. He's being a troll. He is pantomiming an argument just to mix it up on social media. It's either an impulsive behavior, or an effort to keep his name relevant. But it's not that he misunderstands.

alexandra-gee.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for being the voice of reason and standing up for us. We are fighting hard for our sovereignty. 🇨🇦

kimberleyfox.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’s wrong. There is no “ask,” because there is no answer which prevents successive national security threats, extortion attempts and diplomatic humiliation.

Canada must stand a formal defense against the United States and conduct diplomatic missions with its neighbor as it would a hostile nation.

That dimwitted asshole is employed as a reporter with Yahoo Finance. And he used to work at Semafor, Slate, and The Atlantic.

We have a very, very bad journalism problem in the United States.

c-majuscula.bsky.social•2 days ago

My "I'm surprised" bar when it comes to Trump is still in the same place it was last time, hell. I'll be surprised if he launches a nuclear strike within the US. Everything else, EVERYTHING ELSE, is in his wheelhouse.

dbstiner.bsky.social•1 day ago

Right again Mark. The exceptionalism of some Americans is truly stupid

raggededge.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s all a joke until it isn’t. That’s the lesson.

tomcat0815.bsky.social•1 day ago

I like it when US Americans tell others to calm the fuck down but throw a tantrum when you make ONE joke about 9/11

standforukraine.bsky.social•1 day ago

Please Canada just speed up getting rid of Trump once and for all, for all of us by cutting off the oil! Americans will flip out and then perhaps congress will impeach it’s the only quick way to get him out!

derekyerex.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thank you for this. We are not calm. And we are not at risk of calming down, either. Also, many of us are sympathetic to our American friends who did not vote for this and are being let down by Dem elites.

unclebantam.bsky.social•1 day ago

It is more of a serious risk when USA has a president dumb enough to tty it.

nmblondewino.bsky.social•2 days ago

I find it offensive and aggressive the way trump trash talks. And no one is able to stop him in the US and very few stand-up to him.

And that trash talk incites violence. Look at J6? All those criminals released so they can buy guns again.

Good for you for being an early responder.

stevensparrow.bsky.social•1 day ago

Trump is constantly mentioning annexation to desensitise people to the idea so the next steps are easier and met with less resistance it is his plan to take it over that is why he is moving away from the old world order and becoming part of the axis of evil

aineurolab.bsky.social•1 day ago

We are livid. Feels like we’re being carried along a high speed train of lunatics plugging off a cliff into political and economic chaos. We won’t calm down. We won’t back down from threats to our democracy.

leslie297.bsky.social•2 days ago

As a Canadian I thank you for saying this.🇨🇦

brianfcampbell2.bsky.social•2 days ago

I still can’t quite wrap my brain around the fact that USA somehow managed to piss off Canadian citizenry. Bonkers. Words matter. Social media posts matter. Every utterance of POTUS matters. Remember “Kung Flu” in Trump 1.0 ? smdh

milotheman58.bsky.social•2 days ago

This “Really Pissed Off American” is on Canada’s side!

coverdrive12.bsky.social•1 day ago

Somebody needs to explain this to Trump. He thinks he's invading Canada.

nickforbrains.bsky.social•1 day ago

You shouldn’t tolerate it. At a MINIMUM Trump wants to invade. If he doesn’t it will be because he failed. Any American without amnesia can tell you that
