The way all the news networks capitulated to him. It’s insanity.

fryrtuck.bsky.social•5 days ago

if you don't just accept your fucking, and like it, you are escalating. this is bad guy 101. every single bad guy in world does dirty shit then claims victim when you react to it. CNN is disgraceful in this narrative. someone there is a huge Trumper saying this headline like this. smh.

whatsthepointsk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yup. Time to cancel that network.

More bullshit click bait media crap. I hope when this is all over, we’re more evolved than the current news media is.

The propaganda machine Trump has made is really something to behold. I expect it will only get much worse.

Hear, hear!

You tell 'em, Max!

Look how they're languaging these things. They are looking for an excuse for military action. They are actively pursuing WWIII, one way or another.

Comoneh.
Seriously.

Correct use of the word, but tin-eared application.

1nonlybabyyoda.bsky.social•5 days ago

According to CNN. Canada and Ukraine are the aggressors, OrangeFatFuck and Putin are the victims.

randomactpg.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's the same rhetoric as Ukraine, the victims are escalating by fighting back and standing up for themselves

xbegone.bsky.social•5 days ago

On a par with Zelenskyy ‘clashing’ with Trump

The media is a fucking joke. We need more of people like you! #mediafail #CNN

CNN is just a subsidiary of Russian state television.

a Russian Intern Wrote this for sure

seansthumbs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Seriously! Canada *gave* us SNFU, and CNN responds with horseshit headlines like this?

Serious gaslighting bullshit

iamkanyetwitty.bsky.social•5 days ago

Eh. It’s true. It does escalate. Doesn’t bother me, and I don’t think it puts Canada in a negative light. That’s me, though. Either way, Fuck Trump.

liathiessen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just like they were saying that Ukraine escalated the war by fighting back in 2022.

oldhoundderby.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t think Americans realize how angry we are about the threats to our sovereignty. One American was lecturing me that the best thing to do was nothing because we’d just be poorer. Is it any wonder that their democracy is at risk with that type of attitude? 🤷🏻‍♂️

A lot of people here are ready to drink the kool aid, unfortunately.

galeca.bsky.social•5 days ago

Poor Max, he and MAGA put the moron in office. His face will get eaten sooner or later.

leighton-evans.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well if Zelenskyy has been escalating the war in Ukraine for 3 years…. 🤪

zombiehockeytat.bsky.social•5 days ago

Soon they will say we started it!

laminx.bsky.social•5 days ago

Definitely

cdmontreal.bsky.social•5 days ago

lol that’s coming for sure. Or we deserved it.

laminx.bsky.social•5 days ago

We know you didn’t start it and those of “US” who can’t stand any of this, will never shut up about it. We also won’t blame you when our lights go out.

scottwahlstrom.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tit for tat is not escalation and is a rational game theory strategy.

raiwet.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fuck CNN generally.

Can someone explain to me why we are not turning off their lights and stopping all gas exports? That seems like the easiest way to get the US to back off?

lindsayhaeber.bsky.social•5 days ago

Interesting example of who is allowed to "defend themselves" and who is "escalating" being nothing other than a framing of US propaganda in which the media is complicit.

Not sure where else this might apply, but something to think about, anyways!

This US citizen supports Canada! 🇨🇦

14milesaway.bsky.social•4 days ago

Canadians love their country every bit as much as Americans love their own. It just wasn’t always necessary to advertise that point before now

edwarddavid.bsky.social•5 days ago

They genuinely, and can't even comprehend otherwise, that everyone, Canadians included, are expected to just bend over and take the Great Abuser Trump up the a__ the way that they, their media, their politicians, and the American people do every day.
