At least there's only 2/3rds of a white house to burn down this time.

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

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.

burn it to the ground so they can start fresh with a better system

I wouldn't put it past them to decide fuses are "woke" or some shit and it burns down on its own.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

The SS won’t let OSHA inspect the job site and it burns down when a contractor leaves a kerosene heater pointed at a barrel of acetone.

I'm gonna give Canada a free pass on any war crimes they commit this time

[–] MooseWinooski@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 months ago

Oh boy, here I go war criming again.

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.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Canadians dusting off the old checklist.

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Remember, it's not a war crime the first time!

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

"Geneva Conventions" really can interpreted two ways.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That checklist is due for an update.

[–] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm working on mine. It oddly has more nipple torture than our previous list.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nipple Torture with beavers?

Canada Geese

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago

New war crimes are added every time Canada is tested so yeah we will be fine about those old ones.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (7 children)

War crimes aren't cool, it doesn't matter how mad we all are.

It's awful that this is so upvoted.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's OK.

The regime doesn't recognize international laws.

So, we play Calvin ball.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (12 children)

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.

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!

i can't find this one on my bingo card

anyone else have it

[–] Nioxic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Canada is a member of nato

So if a nato country is attacked…

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oof. Imagine Article 4'ing yourself.

[–] nobody158@r.nf 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

tRump wanted out of nato, imagine taking the stupidity route out...

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the only route Trump knows.

If we're talking 2026 bingo, I updated my card and this was on it

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think this is the speech in which he stated his support for NATO and Greenland.

Europe, Canada, and Latin America against US.

[–] saimen@feddit.org 9 points 2 months ago

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).

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It would be terribly funny if now China and Russia step in to defend as well

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

It's probably in their best interest to get the US to waste as much resources as possible there.

Oh my God, could this be any worse?

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

The Americans (government) could stop this at any moment if they choose to.

[–] i078@europe.pub 5 points 2 months ago

Hey, I’ve seen this one!

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

All the troops will refuse illegal order, duh!

^is this needed? /s^

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah, let me try...hold on....nope, can't.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

Yes.

But also, headline is misleading.

[–] sixpaque@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Is it a threat to another country if you move your military further away from your border with them?

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It’s the US, they sent a guy home because he had a silly picture of JD Vance on his phone.

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