I sometimes feel like the rest of the free world is not ready to face the disturbing reality of the new US quite yet. I said it before and I stand by it: Europe has to prepare for war with America.
Shit, you think Europe has to prepare? I live in Canada...
In Northernmost-Westernmost-Europe, my brother.
We have a land border about 40% of the time...
I would be less worried as a Canadian to be honest. Almost everyone in the US has a Canadian family member, or knows people who do. A war with Canada would also be a US civil war in my opinion.
It's much easier to bomb places you can't see everyday.
I bet almost everyone in the US has a US family member too and it hasn't stopped any of them from letting this shit go on.
Sorry, but as a Canadian I have absolutely no faith in you and your populous to not fuck us over.
You might want to learn about the relationship between Ukraine and Russia before the war if you think family ties and friendship offer protection.
Or, say the US Civil War
Yeah, they do that.
I have absolutely zero confidence in the American populace to do the right thing, should their government decide to invade us. They are allowing their own government to dismantle their democracy. Why would they suddenly jump to action because they start a war with Canada?
Considering the above type of accusations and the fact that the US and Russia are funding the European far right, spreading disinformation and disrupting supply chains. Europe is already at some form of hybrid war with the US.
Russia is running hybrid operations in Europe for at least a decade now, the only thing to create a hot war with the EU is a pullback from NATO by the US. The Trump regime has been signaling such a move for a long time.
A hot war with the US is unlikely, but we have to assume they are an adversary non the less.
Whilst I agree, I think war is the very last resort.
I think Europe should just move away from them in every way. Even if it is done slowly. And stick at it even once the orange Shitnugget dies.
The same goes with Russia. Stop importing their oil, etc. Stop people coming and going from there. However as putin already started a war with Ukraine then go all in and give Zelensky everything he needs (short of nukes) to push them back until it becomes such a drain that putin shrivels back over the border and dies. Once that happens then give them nukes again to stop it happening again.
And hopefully that will give Winnie the pooh something to think about.
Things are difficult with high prices for food and energy, etc, as it is during 'peace time' so Europe may as well just take the short term hit now.
That is what everyone keeps telling themselves, but I'm afraid things could get physical much faster. With psychopaths like Trump and Hegseth at the helm, rationality is not a given anymore.
This is literally what they've been all about for their entire history. It's a country founded on genocide and slavery, lmfao.
The mask is off now but they've always been monsters.
