Trump claimed if Harris were elected we’d see World War 3. Every accusation is an admission.
So did ozma (OP).
Link, because I definitely don't remember that.
If he steps one foot into Canada there will be hell to pay. I will stake my life on that.
You mean the 51st state? /s
Maybe Carney should be condemning the operation instead of praising it, then.
I wouldn't classify acknowledging that Maduro was a bad and probably illegally placed leader while saying that international standards have to be maintained is praising it. That's kind of like reprimanding your neighbors kid for punching an asshole at school. He certainly could be more forcefully about his objections, but there are good reasons he wouldn't, as well.
And, as always, fuck Poilievre and his response.
“Praising it” was an exaggeration, but anything short of condemnation is essentially condoning it.
PP actually praising it was truly pathetic.
I absolutely agree that stronger language should have been used.
Americans, when you speak of this with right-wing people, speak of it as an act of weakness and desperation. Strong countries with strong economies do not resort to colonial adventurism in the modern age. We are flaming out.
I’m sure there might be someone biting nails in Denmark right now.
They will be moooonitoring
Unfortunately it wouldn't change much. The current fascism is structural and enabled by many actors, companies and institutions, not tied to one particular person. When he dies, Vance will just continue doing the same.
The only thing that could initiate real change would be the majority of US citizens revolting (but the majority are currently brainwashed by fascist rhetoric on proprietary social media and Fox News) and/or retaliation from other countries.
That fifa peace prize is sure paying off for them.
This is why the world needs to turn against hegemony and violence and toward international democracy and the global rule of law. That's not happening in the US anytime soon, unfortunately. That's why the world really, really needs the sane countries to step up and unequivocally commit to a rules based global order.

Trump’s northern hemisphere needs to play with a fork and an electric socket.
One thing about Trump cultists they really don't think of any future fallout to their actions.
