Oh yes it will get involved, the US will be kicked out but yes, NATO will be involved

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is wholly out of control.

Fix your country, you absolute selfish idiots.

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't disagree, but... how?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 days ago
  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

A simple bang is all that's needed.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I don't actually think that is all that's needed. Trump is a symptom. He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Correct. Killing Hitler would not have stopped WW2, and killing Trump doesn't solve America's problems.

I would party for a week solid if that fucker caught a bullet, but it's not a solution in itself.

[–] Bristingr@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

We could have been partying in July, but some high school kid couldn't hit the broad side of a barn apparently.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

Taking away a valuable tool that he is would be a start, though.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago

He didn't write Project 2025. He's not the one with these ideas.

True, but his cult of personality is integral to the power to keep everyone in line.

Insufficiently deferential Republican congresscritters won't be successfully primaried because of a mean tweet from Jericho Johnson, John Thune or the couch fucker.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Simple to think about... extremely difficult to accomplish.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au -1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You'd really want it to be a series of smaller bangs on lower-level state figures. Less important, less protected, but still mission critical.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Democrats for the past sixty years have fought tooth and nail to ban guns and succeeded in their own states to demonize ownership of them.

Not only are they pathetically unable to leverage threats of violence against fascists using Second Amendment rights, they are also unwilling. So fuck them.

Cops and fascists don't respect unarmed protestors peacefully waggling their fingers at them, they will resume disrespectfully destroying the nation and laugh gleefully while they do this.

To those who rebuke me saying they are a Democrat that owns a gun and doesn't make it their identity, you are outnumbered by dipshit inbred armed MAGA Republicans 20:1, so no you are useless as fuck and continue to be useless as fuck unable to protect LGBTQ and vulnerable people from this Orange Shithead.

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Yah, that's your problem. He has declared war on canada, and we have guns. A large amount of them, and mostly undocumented. I'd say he better not step foot on our soil, but he's a felon and can't.

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

An attack on one is an attack on all. I always wondered what would happen if one NATO country attacked another.

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Aggressor gets kicked out and NATO has to defend the attacked

[–] nilo@lemm.ee -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yep. Because that’s exactly what happened with Greece and Turkey…

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, it was close to happening with greece and turkey. And I dont think cyprus is quite the same thing as the US trying to take over greenland, is it?

[–] nilo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

I am talking about the Imia crisis in 1996.

"We want you to violate the sovereignty of a fellow NATO country. Are you in?"

[–] picnic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Literally what's wrong with you? How dense can one carrot be?

[–] BlackRing@midwest.social 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I hope NATO does get involved. Not the same way Trump hopes though...

[–] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Canada has three of top 5 longest sniper kills. Ukraine has the top spot. We just need to export a small chunk of metal at high velocity into a golf course.

[–] Embargo@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I hope you're prepared to pay an extra 25% on that export.

[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It'd definitely be a more worthy destination for my tax dollars than where they're currently going. I support this initiative.

[–] notabot@lemm.ee 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, no, the importer pays the tax. You might want to send them a little extra if you want to help them out with that.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago

the importer pays the tax

Officially, but in reality the extra cost gets passed down to the consumers in all countries involved, following the usual recipe of the rich getting all the gains and the poor getting all the expenses.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Kill him. I'm Canadian. Come at me.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Dumbass doesn't even understand that NATO is a DEFENSIVE pact and that Denmark is a member. Not wanting to give you their territory doesn't count as an attack.

Also if he really cared about security he would have strengthened his ties with his allies instead of pushing them away. The US is far less secure now that it was 3 months ago.

[–] Silk@lemm.ee 0 points 3 days ago

NATO isn't really defensive.

It's two main Engagements - Kosovo and Afghanistan - were pretty solidly offensive imo.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd never thought I'd fight with side by side with Danes at some point...

[–] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

How about a fellow anti-American?

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, NATO must get involved if one of its members is attacked.

Just fucking try it you orange twat!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Which side does he think NATO would support?

[–] person1@lemm.ee 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Amazing. It is like they want people to hate America as much as possible before America starts confronting China.

[–] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As a Canadian, I don't know which country i hate more at this point.

[–] person1@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know I'm supposed to understand that China is horrible, and the young US dick-tatorship is still nothing compared to Chinese high-tech totalitarian dystopia... but somehow, seeing USA, a supposed former friend and ally, turn into a ruthless, unprincipled traitor, aligning itself with Russia... With Russia, of all states! And spitting in the face of the hero of our times...

We know Russians here in Poland. We know how their army works, we know their mentality. When Ukraine reported war crimes, we believed them. Seeing US backstab Ukraine like that... It's just too much. I think the American brand is dead for us.

[–] Devanismyname@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

China has done about 1/100th the crap the us has. Even at its best, the us was overthrowing legitimate governments and destroying entire nations. China may not be perfect, but they are a whole hell of a lot better than the us.

[–] lennee@lemm.ee 0 points 1 day ago

China is a shit country. But like if you look at where they are coming from historically I think they are moving forwards. America is moving backwards. China has a ton of potential and I hope the chinese use it well. I am less hopeful for americans at this point.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Trump added that the result was very good for the US and 'the person who did the best is a very good person as far as we’re concerned'

Me too form together words too

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au -1 points 3 days ago

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
