Several White House officials revealed to NBC News that President Donald Trump is growing increasingly “worried” over Canada regarding its ability to defend its borders, with one official saying that Trump’s concern stems from his “vision of ‘solidifying’ the Western Hemisphere,” the outlet reported Sunday.

A good idea.

Keep in mind that you, the people outside of the U.S., and even a solid majority of people within the U.S. are on the same side.

He only has about a 30% approval rating on any given thing. In the U.S. there are a lot of people who have been looking around waiting for someone to do something in order to feel comfortable acting, and if he attacks Canada the people in the U.S. will see that as there instantly being 30 million people who are willing to do something, and it might trigger an active resistance within the U.S..

30% is enough when 70% won’t stop him

If they want to be on our side they need to get their house in order before mistakes are made and we become real enemies. I don't care if 70% are against him, they don't do shit to stop him. Complacency is support.

Keep in mind that everyone who stays on their own side of the border will be just fine, and everyone else is taking two to the chest.

You mean aside from those sent to the death camps, murdered in the streets, or taken as victims of human trafficking?

I guess US citizens should get their shit together and tend their farms eh?

It would be good for you to stick to talking about subjects you have a clue about.

No one is responsible for what the US does except US citizens. If they want to stop being murdered, put in camps, or trafficked maybe they should remove the murderers, fascists, and traffickers from their country. Imagine having more guns than people and still not being able to defend oneself from all of that.

This is like blaming the cows for being in the slaughterhouse.

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

The difference being the cows didn't vote to be there.
