Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

    I dont think anyone from the EU is going to take concrete steps to a Canadian application, because they havent concretely ruled out that America wont physically invade it. Its an insane prospect, but this world is already insane.

    The thing is, it’s not actually that insane if you zoom out enough. We just convinced ourselves history was over, or at least over here.

    Unless you know something I don’t I suspect they’d still be open to a defence pact right now, especially with the American threats to Greenland as well. If we were to wait until it’s imminent that would all change, and then it would be build nukes or bust.

      You do know that “getting nukes” isnt a thing. right?

      A country suddenly trying to develop a nuclear weapons program is something other nuclear powers will absolutely attack one over.

      look at how many times Israel and the USA have nonchalantly bombed Iran,

      the USA will never, ever tolerate a country in the Americas getting a Nuclear weapon, they’ll Invade them like Panama or Grenada in a heartbeat.

      Hosting Nuclear weapons of another country is about the farthest you’ll get with that plan
