Does the Club of Idiots really think they are going to get away with what happened in Kursk?
Don't think so.

Thanks but no thanks.

It is now the case that if you are at the table withTrump, you are on his menu.Walk away like Carney did and forge more powerful alliances instead. An alliance you can't trust is worse than no alliance at all. No mention here about the Commonwealth Economic Security Pact just signed by Keith Starmer with Canada and Australia.

gotta stop redacting and covering names

Why should the world acquiesce to Trump’s vision of world domination. Americans hate what he’s doing .
@
Trump doesn't have a Vision - The dude just wants attention !

I am Canadian, and I support My Prime Minister's vision 100%. America under Trump is not our ally. It is our ENEMY.

Yes, we have to deal with them whether we like it or not, and I won't try to pretend otherwise.

But I want to divorce Canada in every way possible from the United States, and I would like to see Canada's export economy be completely restructured and reorientated towards the EU, India, S Korea, Japan, Latin America, etc. China as well, if only for balance. If this takes decades, so be it. We have decades.

I also like that Canada is massively increasing defense spending, but simultanously winding down its dependence on US firms for procurement.

America is in serious trouble, and Trump is not a flash in the pan.
I do not hate or even dislike America, but I know a sick society when I see it.

Money is always at the base.

Jesus H Christ stop sucking up and groveling for that orange garbage. What kind of groveling headline is that? We shouldn't be 'ready', we should be standing up to that corrupt and fascist regime.
@
Stop sending your military spend to the USA.
@
WTF kind of a headline is that in response to Fascist demands?
@
It’s not “Trump’s new world”. It’s ours and it’s long past time for Europe to be the superpower it was meant to be.
@
There is no single Europe, we are sovereign countries with a vile unelected dictatorship trying to control some of us.
@
The fact that there was a standing ovation after the speech showed how desperate Europe was for soothing words.
@
We should not adjust, we should fight back. But our politicians and bankers are corrupted and people are not desperate enough...
@
This question is much like asking are the innocent girls sent to Epstein island ready to adapt to Donald Trump's unwanted attention?
