He doesn't seem to realize that Canada has a long tradition of defeating the US in wars.

American Revolution

War of 1812

Aroostook War

Pig War on San Juan de Fuca Island

I would not mess with those guys. Read what Pierre Berton had to say about Vimy Ridge. These are tough guys.

Putin has been claiming he totally wants an end to the war if Ukraine will only give him everything he wants, really.

Lip service.

Vlad can end this at any point by /getting the fuck out of Ukraine/.

I go with Occam's Razor: Vlad is broke and Orange Mussolini is looking to pad his bank accounts.

Trump better get the money up front.

Jen's Big Blue Wave's avatar

Or he is just spouting shit to down play the Biden Administration's latest push to fund Ukraine some more.

I fully expect that to be stripped from the next CR

And now he's cozying up to Communist China too.

Nobody could have predicted this!

seriously, he probably got a two-line note from Xi and is now convinced they are best buddies.

Jake Broe had a whole segment in his most recent video about this tweet, because it is really weird coming from Trump. Broe's actually hopeful that the Ukraine-relevant people around him (special envoy for Ukraine and Russia is Gen Keith Kellogg, who's been vocal about praising Biden escalating military aid; Mike Waltz, a pro-Ukrainian hawk, as NatSec Advisor) are getting through to Trump. And Trump notably sees Putin's weakness in his loss of Syria (and with it the entire middle-east and African theaters), and saw Zelenskyy get a standing ovation at Notre Dame.

The hope is that Trump wants to be a winner more than he wants Putin's favor, and might actually (I know, I remember whom we're discussing here) want to do the right thing.

I find it intriguing that he's suddenly kissing up to China after all the tariff talk. Welcome to the United States of Passive Aggression.

Maybe's avatar

It is possible that it's both, along with a bad case of entitlement from birth. Also, trumpy is a bully.

Jen's Big Blue Wave's avatar

why

why would anyone take a tweet of his to mean a damn thing when he has, regularly, back peddled and done opposites and whatever else the entire time we've known him.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

Because I don't think Trump wrote it. But you are correct ... next week it will be something else.

I hate this non-stop shitshow of noise.

Jen's Big Blue Wave's avatar

I just assume anything from him or his camp is a lie. Saves time.

This young news anchor is dumber than dirt, the weather guy was sharing a picture someone sent him of a sun pillar behind a church with the pillar lined up with the steeple and she thought the steeple caused the pillar.

oh no, that's enough skin. Tight too.

Nominee Dr Janette Nesheiwat knocked over gun in 1990, causing it to fire and fatally shoot father in the head

Maybe's avatar

I believe that the gun that she knocked over was stored on a shelf high in a closet. The person who left it there, loaded, was more responsible for the accident than the thirteen year old girl was. I feel really sorry for the girl. It probably marked her for life.

tek's avatar

Nice history and all, but zero info about her positions on anything :(

Jen's Big Blue Wave's avatar

She was a consultant on Fox during the pandemic.

Jen's Big Blue Wave's avatar

To be fair, the article I read did not say WHAT she consulted about or how she came across.

But "For profit clinic doc picked to be consultant during pandemic we are down playing" makes me think the article on purpose did not disclose that.

RandomNameAllocated's avatar

I saw this, but don't understand how the gun went off - don't they have safety triggers?

Bill Door's avatar

Say the words "gun" and "safety" in the same sentence to most Americans and their eyes will glaze over, and they'll automatically assume the speaker is a communist who wants to confiscate their weapons.

Land Shark ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€โšง๏ธ's avatar

An automatic with the safety off can accidentally fire this way.

tek's avatar

safety may not have been engaged..

also possible that the gun fired for reasons other than the trigger mechanism.

But I'm not a gun expert, and I don't play one on the internet.

Maybe's avatar

I'm not an expert either, but I have the distinct impression that storing a loaded gun where it can be accidentally knocked over is not a smart idea.

Maybe this whole Syria thing isn't as simple as some people seem to think:

Mighty Little Dog's avatar

Given the history, the neighborhood, the competing ethnic groups and a 14 year civil war, I dont think anyone considers that situation simple. But Assad is gone and thatโ€™s enough for now.

paperlesstiger's avatar

Quite the intrigue. The way the whole thing unfolded was a little too pat for me. The army was ordered to fall back in stages. I think it was an orchestrated coup staged as a rebel offensive. They can't be that clever, can they?

Saviour of Bread's avatar

Interesting, I don't know enough about it. All I know is that I really don't know much.

That was what I read a few days ago: that he's been distancing himself and his group from their jihadi past, trying to seem more legit.

I would love to hope that they follow through, and reach some sort of power-sharing agreement that might approach something like popular sovereignty (much of the north is controlled by Kurds, not by his group), but hope is a rare commodity in these, our fallen times.

That they went and freed ALL the prisoners and not just their buddies is a good sign

Notably a lot of women and girls among them.

I have always assumed that 85% of Canada's population can only be bivouacked an easy days march from our longest undefended border for a reason. I for one will welcome our future Canadian overlords.

I think it's time to divide the United States--which is not all that united--into four countries: East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, and the South..

Or divide it into two, one for men and one for women.

I just figured that any further North and it would be too cold.

I'm sure that's what your handlers tell you to say. It's not like you can admit to being a member of Canadas shock troops

As one of the Canadians living almost as far south as possible, this true. I do love winter, though. Just not 30 below.

I'm surprised it is only 85%.

Possibly Justin Trudeau journeyed to Mar-a-Lago to see the felon because Canada wonโ€™t allow convicted felons to enter their country? Just a thought.
