You'd have to be mad not to understand that we are on the brink of another world war. There are a bunch of megalomaniacs in the US (and elsewhere) driving these forces of world domination. Trump has been the useful idiot. All of this feeds into his narcissistic sociopathic personality. He has no empathy or compassion; he is the tool, the face. Some report he gets all his information and biases from Fox News (or as I like to call it Faux Nooz). And to add to his disdain, he wore a cheap Trump baseball hat to the reception of the dead military returning to the US a couple of days ago. He promises there will be loads more. But *shrug* that's the cost of war, ya know. But that's not a war, he contradicts himself.
Iran is not going to take this endless provocation and deaths (now at least 30,000, including countless children). They have better military equipment than the US and can hold out far, far longer.
Meanwhile, the world pays for this folly, with skyrocketing energy costs affecting everything, food, travel, and survival.
Today's headlines cover men getting cheap hair transplants in Turkey and Americans overloading therapists' offices for sessions dealing with Trump anxiety.
Canada is under threat too, and we are very aware of it. Every mouthful of venom he spurts brings us closer.
Cuba is next on his menu. Followed by possibly Ecuador. Then Canada.
Here's the full list:
- Greenland: Frequently mentioned for acquisition due to its natural resources and strategic location.
- Canada: Cited as a target for absorption as the "51st state" through economic pressure.
- Venezuela: Following proposed invasion, the administration claimed it would "run" the country.
- Mexico: Mentioned in the context of territorial acquisition in the Western Hemisphere.
- Panama: Specifically, control of the Panama Canal Zone.
- Gaza Strip: Referred to as "property" for potential redevelopment.
We are in dark, unknown territory in these nuclear times. Netanyahu and Trump are busy keeping themselves out of jail on criminal and war crime charges. They don't care who gets in the way as the bodies mount to horrifying levels.
We can't shut our eyes to it. Many in Canada are buying guns for the first time. Daughter is a good shot. I was not bad in my time. But neither of us ever felt the need to own a gun.
Overreacting you might say? Realistic, I'd respond.
Maybe now is the time. In all my born days, I never thought I'd be writing about defending Canada. The most polite nation on the face of this earth. Except when we're threatened.
