Nikita Khrushchev in 1956:
“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within”.

Heg#### telling Europe that Ukraine can be safe a sovereign but cannot get back what Russia has stolen.

Measles outbreak but in an area that wasn’t vaccinated much anyways.

JD Vance refusing to meet with the chancellor of Germany. Instead gives a speech with the ADF.

Sorry if shared before but Donald and Elon leave the US in tatters and us being a neighbour county probably won’t escape all of this #### show going on.

Calling Donald a disgrace of a person would be an insult to disgraceful people.

Wait, I thought we were told the entire time Elon was in charge of this? If he's not, who is?

Musk is endorsing a candidate in England. What’s to stop him and Putin from interfering in and stealing elections in other countries like they did in the U.S. and installing fascist governments around the world?

I'm sure it's all "technical" ####ery to avoid culpability.Best to not put much weight into what they want you to believe.

They'll use economic threats to force our government to make policies that benefit the US more than Canada and generally just erode our sovereignty bit by bit.
This is heart crushingly the most likely outcome of where the US is headed and how it affects Canada.

Don't be naïve. Trump has been working hard (and now Elon Musk) at eroding checks and balances in the US. We very well may not be able to rely on people and agencies in government not acting on direction because it's "crazy". As for China and Russia backing us if the US started to move in? Laugh out absolute ****ing loud. Yeah, that's a hard "not happening".

It's over at this point. You can see how this is going. All the same things that happened last time Nazi's took over including the "yeah, they aren't going THAT far, you guys are overreacting!!!!".

Trump and Musk are basically just destroying the United States as an empire, because they don't understand how anything works.

They for example clearly think that things like USAID, military aid, trade deals etc. are just the US being nice to with everyone, while everyone who actually understands the system knows that blowing up USAID and the trade deals basically just blows up a ton of leverage the US used to have over other countries. Along with it went every ounce of trust anyone used to have in the the US as a negotiating partner, which means a crapload of potential deals have now been permanently removed from the table for the US, not just for this administration but probably for decades to come.

No one will look to the US for longterm help anymore, and every country that has an option will look for additional/alternate alliances and trade partners elsewhere, even countries that Trump hasn't harassed in way yet. Everyone will want to be less reliant on the US, and that will again hurt the global influence US has on a generational time scale.
