I don’t even know why you would celebrate that. You do realize Canada is glued to the hip with America yeah? If we go down you go down with us. That’s the problem with Canadians, you’re a prideful lot who can’t seem to use your head. And contrary to popular Canadian sentiment, we don’t enjoy punishing you.

Want to be a sovereign country, here are the terms, you’re treated like everyone else… We're not the only ones Uncle Sam... Other people from around the world either booed or walked out during a speech Lutnick was giving at a private dinner in Davos that was hosted by Larry Fink. Apparently the inherent US arrogance was on full display with him lecturing Europe, which is so American administration to do at a dinner event. This was the night before Trump's speech in Davos that saw people walk on during the blabber from your narcissist in chief. I sense a pattern here of how the world views the US... or just close friends of Epstein. Edited April 18 by LinkSoul60 1 1 Quote
John Stone Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 (edited) Would Article 5 be invoked if the U.S. attacked Canada? bwahahahahahahahahah Ironically, the GOP desperately needs a left leaning tri-fecta to allow them to regain and exercise a backbone. Let's put Kanada aside ........... on to Black brier (Cuba) At the beginning of Trumps second tenure Susie Wiles (WH C-of-staff) was asked what Trump's greatest accomplishment will be, 'I think the country is beginning to see that he's proud to be an agent of peace' More hilarity - just over a year ago, Donald Trump promised, "I'm not going to start wars, I'm going to stop wars'. Feb 28th, 2026 - The U.S. carried out a pre-emptive attack on Iran, surprising regional allies, global allies, Congress and the US domestic population. Arguably it is not a war tho, only Congress can declare war, just like Korea was not a war. Iran is a 'excursion' ......... er, 'war'............ er,............ excursion ............... er, 'war' / Trump; any given day The question is, when will the U.S. public become aware that they're being pi$$ed on with so many issues and told it's rainfall.

John Johnston Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 There is Zero problem with Canada or any other western Country. The problem America has is it's stupidity in electing a whack job TWICE! America causes problems for everyone else and then blames everyone else. Typical Conservative. Enjoy your collapse. It's a harsh but needed lesson for the world. Quote

herbie Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 Hmm. "The Problem" exists with Lutnick's skilldamimicking his Bosses in that A - he can't keep his big mouth shut B- the same rebellious teen attitude that you can get people to do what you want by insulting them. The epitome of the decline in US diplomatic skills over the last 50 years or so. Insult and blame everyone else for your own f-cl ups. Quote

Amazing how those slants can sit back and quietly be so strategic. They've identified the US. Achilles heel (thank Nixon), ......... their strategy is to become the global economy. While the US economic footprint shrinks, the silk-belt-roads are expanding. Regionally the bast'ds are flexing in the South China Sea as well. Edited April 18 by John Stone Quote

John Stone Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 FWIW: The USSR collapsed due to a combination of economic stagnation, political reforms, rising nationalism and COSTLY MILITARY COMMITMENTS. To paraphrase. the domestic population wanted dish washers and food and those in command were bankrupting the country thu defense spending. They (Politburo(s)) just kept driving up the debt. Quote

China is light-years ahead in EV development - fer fk's sake their technology is flooding the West. China is either making it, developing it or selling it. Trump has turned the EV industry upside down in the US. ............... ditto science.......... higher learning........... medical research , soft international support (USAID). Guess who's taking up the slack? The effective shutdown of the US Agency for International Development has already created openings for China to fill in developing countries. The aid was not so much for humanitarian reasons - it was for political leverage, hegemon(e)y......... by extension defense, commerce. USAID amount to less than 1 percent of GDP. Quote

John Johnston Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 Tourism from Canada has had the sharpest decline — Canadian visits in May decreased by 38% by car and 24% by air compared to the same month in 2024, according to the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO). Travel from Western Europe is also declining, falling nearly 5% in 2025. “While other nations are rolling out the welcome mat, the U.S. government is putting up the ‘closed’ sign,” said Julia Simpson, president and CEO of WTTC. And the price tag is staggering. In total, this decrease in tourism could cost the United States an estimated $29 billion, and experts warn that number could grow if policies don’t change. Tax breaks on Tips does not help if their are no customers. Quote
John Johnston Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 US tourism is collapsing in 2025, and it’s turning into one of the most immediate economic consequences of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Airlines are slashing routes. Hotel chains are missing revenue targets. International bookings have evaporated. The world’s largest consumer economy is watching billions in foreign tourist dollars disappear almost overnight. Quote
