    I have a few tinfoil hat theories. You know, the kinda shit you come up with trying to plan for the worst.

    One of them is that all these villainous world superpowers are going to get together and basically redraw the world. Eg: US will say they won’t defend S. Korea, Taiwan, or Ukraine if they can get Canada and Greenland, that kinda shit.

    And there’s nothing to stop them

      Like fuck there’s not going to be anything to stop them. All this “taking Canada” rhetoric is really making me fully understand the situation Ukraine is in. I always thought I’d find some way to dodge a draft, but if it came down to fighting to preserve my country’s sovereignty, I’m taking all you Americans down with me

          I really hope so. The way it’s been treated so far, as if it’s just a funny joke that we might consider (Canada would turn the US blue forever!, etc), even by more left leaning news corps like CNN has really left a sour taste in my mouth.

          In a recent CNN clip, they were talking about how because we just “threw out our PM”, we might actually want to be American. Like, no, we’re a sovereign country, do not joke about invading us you actual fucking nazis, Christ.

              Ah fair enough, that explains it a bit then. It’s incredible that we’ve gotten to the point where the alt right/Republicans are just casually joking about invading countries ALLIES

              Quick edit: I guess it has been a very unifying thing for Canadians though. The whole situation has really brought together the left and the right here against the US (excluding Danielle Smith but she’s insane)

      Like literally what Nazi Germany and Stalnist USSR attempted to do leading up to Ww2, creating spheres of influence and preemptively dividing up territory. (Of course the Nazis also knew they were going to turn around and try and take the USSR too)
