Maybe Trump will have better luck with Mexico in trying to sell his Golden Dome idea he got from his good, good friend Bibby.
So not only did trumps stupid fantasy rants piss off our one of our two closest neighbors and centuries old friend, its now cost the USA multiple billions of dollars in business. For what? We gained nothing and lost so much.
But wait, there's more! All the other allies are pissed off as well!
Yes, this is the art of the Trump deal. We all lose, but he, the billionaire, wins. Fuck the poor, he will gain despite them dying. This is America in 2025.
but he, the billionaire, wins
Thats the thing on this one. No billionaires are even winning with this. Many multi-millionaries or close to billionaires are losing on this too. I could understand (but be angry) if this was more billionaire grift, but no one wins from this except possibly the EU defense industry.
Yes the Trump is made of Trump.
But maybe we can hope this will make the MIC unsustainable and America will no longer be known for being the largest boot that can be put in someone’s ass
US could still annex Canada if they wanted to
Maybe
I still can't make up my mind on if I am fear mongering when I say this lol
Holy shit, the first thing I see when I visit that website is a popup telling me to either pay them, or accept that they are going to track me and sell the data to over 400 third parties. Fuck that.
NoScript is wonderful
The hero we don't deserve.
Why make a defense pact with the only nation threatening Canada. Canada would rather work with the EU.
@homesweethomeMrL Welcome to the European Union, Canada!
I'm sure they'll be happy to have you with them! 🇨🇦🇪🇺
Haha, we're so screwed but I love it.
I guess they're choosing not to become the 51st. Good on them and fuck this version of the US. This is what strong leadership looks like, good on ya, Canada!
Good job Canada! Snub The Taco every chance you get.
@homesweethomeMrL Trump is mass-deterring foreign investors & former customers of U.S. producers towards other more promising markets.
Unsurprising taking Donnie's history of bankruptcies into account!
Boom. Just like that.
Good for them cutting off. But the insane amount of military spending is nonsensical. Where was all this money for global warming?
You can't achieve a nuclear winter on thoughts and prayers
