    Suspicious old me, I have to wonder, did Prime Minister Mark Carney know a head of time that if he sent any Military personnel to Greenland, Trump would impose another 25 percent tariff on Canada, like Trump is threatened to do with the four other countries that did? Canada did not send any soldiers to Greenland as a sign of solidarity, as I thought he would have. I wonder why?

      I don’t think Trump’s tariffs on his country’s imports are as effective a threat as Trump thinks they are.

    As a general rule if you see a headline from the Express you can assume it to be at best tangentially connected to reality.

      I hope we don’t burn it down, it’s such a pretty building. It’s already been damaged enough by the megalomaniac.

      I’d be OK if we just turned it into a Spirit Halloween for a season or something.

        We probably should burn it down with how awful he’s made the interior look with all that Temu gold plating and crap.

        Burn it down so they can start fresh. You’re never gonna get the Trump stank out of there.

        Eh, it’s really not that cool and ultimately is just a weeb’s (roman style) idea of what a parliament building should look like. A rip-off of a rip-off. That’s not even me being bitter about recent events, I remember not even knowing enough to hate the US and visiting DC in highschool and I just could not care less.

          It’s very explicit that you don’t have to agree with the rules of war, nor do your opponents, for them to exist and apply. You think the people currently jailed in the Hague were fighting in otherwise-clean wars?

          If you rape an American, you’re just a rapist.

            No rape.

            But creatively ending lives of Nazi invaders.

            If I kill an American I’m a murderer.

            If I kill a Nazi, no I didn’t.

                  I shine the light where there’s roaches, basically.

                  None of what you’re saying is original, and past generations of people like you are the reason the blanket prohibitions on genocide, sexual violence and torture had to be committed to paper. Why would I choose to water that down? I pick the thing you don’t want said out loud.

                  Edit, since you did: Except killing isn’t a war crime, which is what this conversation is about.

        You’re going to have a hard time convincing Canadians living in an occupied country, whose main weapon is being able to hide in plain sight and deceive the enemy, or hop over the border and enact retribution on soft targets, that they must fight fair and just allow themselves to be occupied by the stronger aggressor.

        Some war crimes like perfidy and indiscriminate killing will definitely happen in such a situation, and understandably so.

      We are quite good at them. We’re historically unstoppable when we get let loose against fascists and will do anything we can think of to be as mean as possible.

    Canada, getting ready to invade, has amassed 90% of its population along its border with the United States. The longest unprotected border in the world.

    They have a threatening lead on zamboni technology!

      The Kremlin has already declared its support for US annexation of Greenland. Russia already knows the US has military bases in Greenland and both are NATO countries. Russia benefits more from the NATO collapse that would follow so they can freely swing at Europe.

      US, Russia and Israel. Rest of the world will also (have to) take sides. Only China will stay neutral until it turns the tides at some point being the big winner of it all (similar to the US in WWII).
