Canada is just begging to be Annexed
John Johnston replied to paxamericana's topic in Canada / United States Relations
The only threat to Canada is America. Full stop. -
Problem is that Trump does not think anything through. All his ideas and policies eventually turn out badly. We saw that in the first Trump Administration and it's happening daily now. The man has far less guardrails than the last Administration. And it shows. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie, and he has the most unqualified bunch of monkeys surrounding him for this reason. Of course people want a change in the Iranian Regime. However to sit here and say Trump is concerned about free elections and freedom for the Iranians is a laugh. Trump does not even care about American freedom or elections, or free press or anything else. Like everything he does this will end poorly for everyone around him.

American Failed Regime Changes The United States has attempted to reshape foreign governments through various means, including military interventions and covert operations. These efforts have often resulted in tactical success but strategic failure, leading to long-term instability and the installation of governments lacking legitimacy. The U.S. has been involved in numerous regime changes, including coups in Iran, Guatemala, South Vietnam, and Libya, among others. These interventions have created power vacuums, civil conflicts, and cycles of authoritarianism that can persist for decades. The U.S. has faced criticism for its involvement in these regimes, often leading to unintended consequences and undermining U.S. interests.

LONDON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Global energy markets face one of their gravest shocks in decades as joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory missile attacks across the Gulf disrupt oil exports from the world’s most important producing region. The scale of the disruption will likely be determined by the duration of the conflict, but for now the threat and the uncertainty are already enough to severely impact flows from the region that accounts for 20% of global oil supplies. Reading is fundamental.

Guess Iran did not give Trump a peace prize. Shrug.

Threats to the November elections are extreme. The Trump administration has given every indication that it does not intend to let voting proceed fairly. Phil Weiser, the Colorado attorney general, is among the people who can do something about it. In a recent interview with Newsline, Weiser outlined why he thinks the state can defend its sovereignty against attacks from the federal government and ensure President Donald Trump does not succeed in subverting democracy. The subject matter of the interview — whether free and fair elections are still possible — was itself a sign of how America is faltering in the face of authoritarian treachery, and Weiser’s responses reveal a faith in the rule of law that increasingly appears at odds with reality, considering that the administration so often gets away with breaking the law and the U.S. Supreme Court so often bends it to favor Trump. But his answers also reveal that the state’s top law enforcement officer is preparing to win a monumental battle. “We have already seen bigger threats to our republic, bigger threats to our state sovereignty, than we’ve ever seen,” Weiser said. “We have to be prepared. And the big question that we are going to answer this fall is whether we remain a republic where states have their own authority and states fully control elections.”
