Just wait until you see what sanctions the ICC will eventually impose on the Trump regime.

When the alternative is using digital payment methods from a fascist country?

A bunch of not-ideal products are about to get adopted by other countries and then are about to gain all of the features that the U.S. monopolies always fought against.

The US Military was a well-oiled machine before January 20, 2025. Now it's a machine whose oil is driving more than all other machines and is about six months past its due date for an oil change. They've announced a bunch of plans for more trips, but nobody's changing the oil anymore.

I like how Tesla thinks replacing their CEO is going to bring those sales back.

It clearly is.

When the world thinks "illegal immigration" we all think "Germans sneaking into Hawaii".

This is such a U.S. way of reporting things.

74% of people don't want to be part of AfD.

This needs to stop.

Jesus fucking Christ. I swear that there are bots to repost the exact same thing you post.

This is NOT the time to harp on that particular thing.

Those people are going to be some of the easiest potential allies to make, and this is an all hands on deck situation. We NEED them.

Posting this shit benefits the people opposing the idea that the comment is supposedly trying to support.

I read today that one of his secretaries said that China had miscalculated, because China exports roughly four times as much to the U.S. as the U.S. imports to China, and he said that that makes the U.S. a lot stronger than China, that it would give the U.S. a better bargaining position.

That's like a wealthy family in a small town saying they can outlast the grocery store if the grocery store decides to stop selling food to you.

I mean, *good luck with that*...

They are free to leave the US and stop empowering our enemy with their taxes.

Oh you think so, hmm?

You think that a lot of us haven't been looking at every country that might be worthwhile, including spending years learning additional languages, researching our ancestry several generations deep to find countries where we might be able to get ancestry, applying for literally dozens to hundreds of jobs on literally all other continents, and even taking IELFS training and tests and looking at industry changes for jobs just to be able to get out?

It's not as easy as you think. Even Canada and Mexico have strict requirements that a lot of the people in the U.S. can't meet.

Literally the closest comparison is the people who wanted to flee Nazi Germany.

Get some perspective. The people who you are complaining about are on the same side as you. We don't want anything to happen to Canada, and if something does happen between the U.S. and Canada, we will be each other's best hope.

As a U.S. Citizen, PLEASE don't buy these products. Please don't give in.

The people in the blue states are afraid for their lives.

This isn't a situation where the people in the blue states need to be aware of the danger Trump poses to Canadians and the problems he poses for Canada and need to be made aware of it.

The people in the blue states are unable to afford much of anything now, not food, not healthcare, not housing, not transportation, nothing. And on top of that, they're afraid of being disappeared because the Trump regime is disappearing people for no cause, because of things like having an autism awareness tattoo or like publishing a letter.

It's not to say that what Canada is facing from Trump isn't bad, but no, people in the blue states are MORE aware of the dangers of Trump than you are. Canadians are justified in reacting, absolutely, but people in the U.S. in blue states are not unaware of what's going on, and don't need Canadians to make them aware of these things.

It looks like a lot of US states are about to declare backsies.

Oh no! It looks like they have their 51st state!
