#Trump is a psychopath
will go ahead with provocations threats insults
until a breaking point is reached
Then Trump will declare #emergency
and that a military 'control' of #Canada resources
is necessary for US 'national security'
Canada must prepare militarily
contact the #European #Allies and #Mexico
make plan
Because when things will get BAD in #US
(and they will)
the solution of all #fascist #dictators
is to declare war to someone
And Canada has the misfortune of being close to the #USA.
@randahl Leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again…
#Dictators #ICC #Duterte
All the oppressed people of the world have been saying it for decades, probably centuries:
DON’T GIVE DICTATORS ANYTHING.
THEY WON’T BE SATISFIED, BUT WILL JUST WANT MORE.
Via #Canadian Senator #CharlesAdler @ 12:47pm ET on Mar 14, 2025
Prime Minister #JustinTrudeau does not align our country with murderous #dictators, does respect the #sovereignty of our neighbors and does not hesitate to call out dumb destructive #trade policies. #DonaldTrump reminds us how fortunate we are to have leadership that mirrors Canadian values.
"Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's control."
Scene from Enemy (2013)
A handful of #MAGA devotees have openly endorsed #RussianPropaganda, but more #Republicans have explained away #Trump’s behavior as reflecting some motivation other than outright sympathy for Moscow: He is transactional, he is a nationalist, he admires strength & holds weakness in contempt.
And it is all true: Trump does admire #dictators. He does instinctively side w/ #bullies over victims. He does lack any #values-based framework for American #ForeignPolicy.

As somebody who spent scarce money to subscribe to it, I give it the highest recommendation. 
@randahl
The proper "Neville Chamberlain" analogy isn't T**** trusting #Putin, it's #Europe trusting T****.
#DictatorDon knows EXACTLY what kind of person Putin is... and he ADMIRES him for it. T****

I still don't understand how one asshat can just decide to change a long standing geographical name without consulting and having it approved by other parties involved. If it's that easy I hereby decree that the United States shall now be known as Russia-West. Make it happen.

@timkmak you mean between #Trump and #Putin - two #dictators
I guess after the Trump/Putin agreement on Ukraine we should now be saying "good morning comrades" to our merican neighbors to the south.
Actually Russia attacked Ukraine, Ukraine did not start a war with Russia, we all know this, its just mericans that actually believe this crap.
Affirmative Action for #Dictators
Timothy Snyder Feb 16, 2025
... the American vice president instructed Europeans to open themselves as colonial vessels. They should remove any constraints on social media platforms, allowing #Musk and other #oligarchs to shape their #elections. And those elections should then lead to the victory of far right parties...

@randahl Why the wonder. During the campaign #Trump said that #Russia can do with #Europe whatever he wants. Maybe we should take #dictators words seriously, not assume that it is only some TV personality spectatcle
@osiris_0x7A4 : moord vind ik geen oplossing. Wat dan wel, weet ook ik niet.
Als bevolkingen hun foute leiders niet *bijtijds* massaal tot de orde roepen, wordt protesteren te gevaarlijk.
In Nederland zijn we ook hard op weg.
Mogelijk zijn ook wij al voorbij een point of no return. Ik vind dat lastig in te schatten, maar sinds de bullshit over Jodenhaat (Lale Gül viel ook door de mand - enigszins begrijpelijk is zij professioneel Moslimhater, maar dat betekent niet automatisch dat je dan *dus ook* Zionistenverdediger moet worden), maak ik mij enorme zorgen.
Uit 2014, over Moslimjongeren in Parijs (https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2014/07/24/de-elite-ontkent-het-antisemitisme-1402599-a887584, alt: https://archive.is/f7LwO):
❝
Deze jongeren zien Israël en de VS en krijgen het ongefundeerde gevoel dat Frankrijk gedomineerd wordt door Joden en Joods kapitaal en dat zij daardoor worden buitengesloten.
❞
M.i. was dat gevoel minder ongefundeerd dan beweerd, maar ik zou van Zionisten in plaats van Joden willen spreken.
Dat Zionisten in zeer veel westerse landen aan de touwtjes trekken vind ik overduidelijk geen complottheorie meer; bewijzen te over (één voorbeeld noem ik, #UNWatch : https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/113420796563265041).
Zodra ik wat meer tijd heb ga ik wat meer spitten in cijfers over (al dan niet "ervaren" of "geveinsd") antisemitisme (voor alle duidelijkheid, er bestáán echte Jodenhaters die levensgevaarlijk kunnen zijn, maar dat heeft weinig of niets te maken met anti-Zionisme of zelfs verzet tegen genocide).
(ik heb Nieuwspaal uit de CC gehaald).
#DavidRemnick also said, the people need to wake up....
#RevBarber from #NorthCarolina gives in just 1 minute what most need 10 min to say.
"Whenever wantabe #dictators have tried to take over throughout history, they always start with WORKERS. 
Hear me now. They always start with GOVERNMENT workers who are committed to a government of the people, by the people and for the people."
"And they know, as long as workers stay together and fight, haters can't win."
