I think this is just because Trump want to say "America is the biggest country in the world", that's it. Same goes for Greenland. Its more ego driven than anything else, he wants to be the one to put that feather in his hat. Its a nice fuck you to the Russians for good measure, who have been putting up some big(ish) numbers in the annexation game and running up their high score.

Its obviously insane but it's America's golden age now right? What happens during a golden age? BIG. "Rome at its height" means maximum territory. Except trump isn't fucking Trajan, this is Caesar with twice the megalomania and none of the cunning invading Britain. Any talk about seizing the treasures of the Great White North or whatever is just to placate the patricians in the Senate, he is really after the glory.

Now the real Caesar nearly got himself killed and turned into bog fertilizer, but I must admit trump as oafish as he is does have a similar tendency to wriggle his way out of a jam.

the average American wakes up and checks the DHS terrorism color code everyday right?

American hackers install laggy federal spyware on your computer AND steal your money. There's a large and particularly vicious hacker ring known as "Microsoft" that is notorious in the US and globally for that sort of stuff, they've been active for decades.

he wants that ring doesn't he? "biggest country in the world" that's why he wants greenland too, and you know he is going to count the ice sheets as land area.

An anti-american fever sweeps Canada over trumps threats, meanwhile to the south...

Tens of thousands of Mexicans rally with president to celebrate US decision to delay tariffs

how tf has Canada took more heat than Mexico this go around? I think Sheinbaum is the trump whisperer. I think she knows the "trump just agrees with whoever he talked with last" meme and is actually exploiting it (along with constantly massaging his ego in negotiations, I'm sure)

In Trump’s statement announcing the delay, he didn’t point to any specific further concessions from Sheinbaum on either fentanyl or trade, even though there are some policy shifts he might reasonably have hoped to achieve, as we noted on Monday,” he wrote. “Sheinbaum’s midday post also did not point to any specific policy commitments beyond general continued cooperation on migration, fentanyl, and guns.”

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a news conference Thursday that, in her call with Trump, she cited a graph from U.S. Customs and Border Protection showing a drop in fentanyl seizures, which she said Trump hadn't previously seen. "In February alone, the reduction in fentanyl seizures on the United States side of the border with Mexico was reduced by 41.5%. He didn’t know about this graph until I sent it to him, she said.

"she had the best graph folks, you should have seen this brilliant graph. Much better than Justin's, much better than Biden."

c'mon we all know by now

If universities actually gave a shit about education they would just start reject federal funding outright over this nonsense. Don't they charge their own students enough damn tuition? They're smart, they could figure it out. Autonomy is more important than whatever meager grants the govt sends them to research the torment nexus. Call yourselves "free universities" or something nice sounding like that, libs would eat that shit up.

But like everything else in this country, short term profits are the only thing that matters, so these cowards are just going to take it and hand over the minorities to the goon squads.

Russia is actually such a better ally for Canada over the US, though good luck convincing Canadians of that. They could dominate the Arctic for at least century as it continues melting, most importantly shutting the Americans out from getting a share.

I agree, I've played fallout as well

I have to imagine Ukie morale is really in the dumps now after their leader got humiliated on an international stage by their "biggest ally"

You could throw the same criticisms at American adults, who'd I'd argue are worse about wallowing in their treats since adults drive the American consumer economy. And its not like the Bolsheviks were a bunch of college students either. Why should young people carry the brunt of responsibility of resisting global capitalism? Especially when they are definitionally the least experienced and usually the least resourced people to do it. What of the spines of 30+ millennials who are old enough to know better?

don't blame the children, they're suffering under a full scale assault from the arch-chuds to dismantle this nation's public education system, while also being propagandized and exploited by our vampiric capitalist class to get them addicted early to any and everything they can sell them. The poor kids (literally) don't stand a chance- their parents have been similarly battered by capitalism. Society reproduces itself, so until socialists organize a counter-hegemonic popular education campaign our society will be riddled with political lobotomites like these
