        Yes, and I’m sure you know this, but it generally hurts both countries equally or close to it, and therefore that is a dumb as fuck way to punish countries for not supporting your modern Monroe Doctrine

    This motherfucker has lost his fucking mind. He is so desperate to distract from the Epstein files that he is trying to start WW3.

    Yeah I’m sure they’re really worried.

    Imagine how screwed we’d all be if he had a whole IQ point.

    God I hate what my country has become. No country is perfect or will ever be, but I can no longer say I’m proud to be an American. Fucking sad.

        No kidding. The US was never “great” and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it’s only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.

        I was. You can’t conflate what politicians do and what the government does as “this is what the country is all about”. There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.

        But here’s the thing, America isn’t the only country going backwards.

      I don’t want to be American. At least, not for THIS America. Hopefully, the Blue States will break off from Dogey America and proceed to curbstomp the fuckers into oblivion.

    Oh man I’ve been waiting for us to have an excuse to tariff them. For one thing, we need to get Canadians to stop buying anything from the US, there are too many Canadians that don’t seem to learn… At least with tariffs in place, the die-hard MAGA Canadians that insist on buying America will fund our economic development.

    Also we get to put the squeeze on the US. I say we start with potash, or maybe hydro. Hit the essentials first.

    After all, we should just assume he’s going to tariff us no matter what we do. He’ll use China as an excuse, he’ll use the F35s as leverage, no matter what we do he’ll renege on it, the same way he did on his own CUSMA. Just do what we need to do and lie to him, pretend we’re doing everything we can, buy time and keep diversifying. Buy the Gripens, negotiate the deal in secret if needed so you don’t need to announce it until the last minute. At this point don’t commit to anything with the US. Delay, delay, delay.

    If one of you mention anything negative about us taking Greenland, I will tax my population more and severely disrupt their ability to purchase goods they need while you will be forced to find new partners. It will be very inconvenient for you. You will probably lose any trust you have in us and might not risk trading with us for a very long time.

    Checkmate radical leftists. This is the art of the deal.

    Oh… also. Please keep buying bonds and don’t you dare trade with China.

    Shortly, any country without Trump tariffs would be considered with suspicion.

    Why is news site reporting what the rapist terrorist said? Who gives a flying fuck what threats a felon gives?

    Kim Jong Un wants you not to piss in his coffee. You laugh, you don’t give it a fucking headline.
