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

[-] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 and 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.

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 3 weeks ago

Oh boy, here I go war criming again.

[-] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 weeks ago

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 17 points 3 weeks ago

Canadians dusting off the old checklist.

[-] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago
[-] cynar@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Canconda@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

"Geneva Conventions" really can interpreted two ways.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

That checklist is due for an update.

[-] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 3 weeks ago

It's OK.

The regime doesn't recognize international laws.

So, we play Calvin ball.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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 24 points 3 weeks ago

Canada is a member of nato

So if a nato country is attacked…

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago

Oof. Imagine Article 4'ing yourself.

[-] nobody158@r.nf 11 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago

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 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] quick_snail@feddit.nl 19 points 3 weeks ago

Europe, Canada, and Latin America against US.

[-] saimen@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 3 weeks ago

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

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

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

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 15 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks 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.

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago

Oh my God, could this be any worse?

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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

[-] i078@europe.pub 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hey, I’ve seen this one!

[-] 7toed@midwest.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

All the troops will refuse illegal order, duh!

^is this needed? /s^

[-] altphoto@lemmy.today 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes.

But also, headline is misleading.
