Trump’s actions in Venezuela suggest Canada is ‘on the menu’: ex-UN envoy – National | Globalnews.ca

Trump is gearing up to take Greenland, it’s not just a bluff

After that Canada will be surrounded by the USA, we are definitely on the menu

I mean, apparently wants to go to war for Greenland, Canada would easily also be on the list….

There goes any semblance of world order.

I don’t have any words beyond just being sad.

looks like i’ll have to put some more thought into firearms training again…

World domination….. Jesus…..

Absolutely. Trumps vision is Greenland and North and South America as one nation ruled by a ruthless bald Fascist with an old fat orange narcissistic prick as his sidekick.

If only this was predictable by his own words, his minions words, their national security strategy, project 2025, and the list goes on.

If only…

We are on the menu. First is Greenland to break NATO, then is Canada once we’re boxed in.

>We’re not in Kansas anymore. This is a new ballgame and we need to understand the consequences of this

Nah, it’s a very old ballgame. Roman, Mongol, British, French, Ottoman, Soviet, America. Powerful nations going around taking over and imposing their will is historically the norm. We were just naiive when we thought things had changed.

What we can hope for is that Canada is far enough down the list, and his other things go poorly enough to keep them distracted.

That being said, what can an average out of shape Canadian do to prepare for what is feeling inevitable. I get that we want to be all ‘rah rah resistance’ but I’d also like to have a place to sleep.

He doesn’t need to take Canada, but I would bet that any new trade negotiations will most definitely be in their favour .. or else.

Trumps action suggest US is finally behaving like it always has. A rogue nation.

What I am interested in is, when do we call it an abduction and when is UN discussing sanctions on it.

I hate this timeline

I think we should take Alaska, I think they’re a security risk.
Let’s see what America thinks about that.

I commented this before and got downvoted but here goes nothing:

1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Our government and military would fold and go into hiding almost immediately if not even before with prior warning, most likely to the UK. From there’d they’d be preoccupied lobbying to form an alliance to take back Canada. Our best chance at survival would be to decentralize and fight a guerrilla war*.

*The difference here though, we forget that people like those in the Vietnam war and Iraq and so on were used to war, and received arms resupply from allies (or at the very least, enemies of the West). We don’t have that luxury. Canada hasn’t faced an existential threat in a long time, and we have 2 oceans between us and any help from the rest of the world (see point #4). At most we’d see a form of “The Troubles”, except against a country and a leader that would probably use that as an excuse to use decimation on the Canadian population;

2. ⁠The majority population would most likely be corralled into specific areas under martial law, especially those in and around our major cities (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary etc..) to maintain a semblance of control. We’d be under strict curfew, communications blockade and strict rationing.

3. ⁠There’d be some form of “work-to-live” rule while America attempts to establish themselves institutionally and try coerce the population into compliance. “Work with us to Make Canada Great Again, and you’ll be back to “normal” in no time”. This is almost certainly a lie;

4. ⁠No one is coming to save us, atleast not directly. Everyone who claims that “well we’re part of NATO so NATO would save us” is fooling themselves. We have 2 entire oceans between us and the rest of the world. Oceans that are easily blockaded by the world’s largest and most powerful Navy. Even if somehow NATO troops managed to land on Canadian soil, it would be an absolute bloodbath, with no clear objective. Kick the Americans out? Then what? Everything goes back to the way it was? It would start WW3, which would make the past two pale in comparison, and all for Canada? It would be up to Canadians to make life such hell for the occupiers that they’d claim “Mission Complete” and pull out, and even then I doubt they’d say “alright you made your point you can have your country back now lol sorry”;

5. ⁠Realistically we’d be under American occupation until something changed in America that would make them want to pull out and give us back our country. Something would need to change on a fundamental level in American politics and society to admit invading their closest ally was wrong. Could be a few years, decades, who knows. We’d have to inflict as much pain on America, soft targets and all, and maybe benefit from covert material and intelligence support from the world.

Tl;dr: We’d be FUBAR. Absolutely up a creek without a paddle. Canadians would need to go full blown Viet-Cong X Taliban to try and force the Americans to pull out, and even then the political mess on both sides of the border would be catastrophic. The best hope is that Americans would save us from America. And things would never ever ever be the same.

So what can YOU do? Look at getting your PAL, buy a gun, and practice shooting at your local gun range. Read up on guerrilla tactics throughout history and grab a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook or an equivalent. Have a bug out bag and a plan. In the interim, practice, preparation, and patience. Buy Canadian, voice concerns to your MP and MPPs.

I don’t know about you, but when I started hearing the words Monroe doctrine A chill ran up my spine.

At this point, Canada needs to decide if it wants to be American or European. We need to pick a bed and hope it doesn’t become a coffin.

I am extremely, extremely skeptical of such remarks. I do think Trump will attempt to exert as much leverage and pressure as he can on Canada, but beyond trade pressure and rhetoric from minions it will not go beyond that.

Everything Trump is undertaking abroad at this time is at the core based upon:

* he is in dire need of distractions from the Epstein files
* he is trying to find a “win” somewhere will swing over enough of the voter base such that the Republicans do not get wiped out in the mid-terms. So he is undertaking actions abroad and where he can domestically to appear as a “strong” leader and floating lots of rhetoric that it is America against the world. The more he threatens allies the more he makes small incremental steps to actually create that reality but I think in the end it will fall far short of what is needed to save him.

Trump said it himself today: he knows he has carried out many impeachable offenses as have his minions. He is looking for an escape route and the easiest is somehow to shore up the Republican voting base.

The remarks by Stephen Miller and others are all part of the campaign. They all know the danger they are in. They might go as far as somehow attempting to rig or delay the mid-terms but I don’t see that as a real possibility although there will be heavy, frantic pressures and in some red states they may have some successes.

Honestly, theres a not so fine line between “lets go and get this dictator in SA” and “lets invade Canada”. A great many servicemen and women might have an issue with the distinction.

FEAR FEAR FEAR

I hate sensational news like this.
