Sacrificing their only remaining ME ally is definitely not worth a transient distraction in the news. Losing Syria was a huge blow for them.

Agreed, this US attack on Iran is not going to happen. The best guarantee of this is that Russia won’t want it to.

It sounds like someone blowing a raspberry. The terrible name notwithstanding, I hope Carney can pull this off. I found him a bit disappointing in his first quasi-year in office but this would really deliver on his promise of Canada being a leader of the middle powers.

That’s why oligarch-owned media are so important.

“anything I don’t like is treason”

For some reason a lot of y’all wanna bend over backwards to defend this shit.

🙄

Pray tell, what would these dumbfucks even know about science that it’s worth leaking?

It’s unlikely that these dorks are leaking military info (and why would the US even care?), but they should definitely be investigated. I think the real question is whether the US are using “force or violence”, which would fall under C) and A)

Criminal charges are federal in Canada, but charges are laid by crown prosecutors in that particular province (never by the government itself)

I don’t think this actually meets the definition of treason, as they aren’t using violence and are going the legislative/referendum route: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-46.html

2. Every one commits treason who, in Canada,

a) uses force or violence for the purpose of overthrowing the government of Canada or a province;

b) without lawful authority, communicates or makes available to an agent of a state other than Canada, military or scientific information or any sketch, plan, model, article, note or document of a military or scientific character that he knows or ought to know may be used by that state for a purpose prejudicial to the safety or defence of Canada;

c) conspires with any person to commit high treason or to do anything mentioned in paragraph (a);

d) forms an intention to do anything that is high treason or that is mentioned in paragraph (a) and manifests that intention by an overt act; or

e) conspires with any person to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) or forms an intention to do anything mentioned in paragraph (b) and manifests that intention by an overt act.

There are a lot of countries willing to mock them on their military might

This is just people memeing on them for their lackluster performance in WWII. Say what you will about that, but they certainly learned their lesson - since then they’ve been a military powerhouse, frankly the only European country that consistently pulls its weight in that respect. If other EU countries were Gaullist their combined military would outclass the US.

And that’s not even getting into their “nuke first, ask quesitons later” policy.

Found Captain Janeway’s Lemmy account

Tuvix? Was it created by a transporter accident and will be murdered separated into two distinct apps?

I hope that isn’t actually the case because it would be egregious even for Rutte, a world champion in slobbering his orange Daddy’s knob.

Yes, that’s why revolutions have only been successful in much smaller countries like Russia and China.

Yes, that’s by far the most troubling part of all this - that 150 million Americans are on board with it.

Unfortunately we outside the US see mostly impotent hand-wringing coming from there. That’s why we’re so frustrated.

Not to dogpile you too much here - I understand this is difficult - but part of the problem is framing this as a Trump issue. It really isn’t. Even with all this insanity, he still enjoys a 40% approval rating! This doesn’t end only by cutting off MAGA’s head, ahtough that would help - it also means salting the earth where it grows by finally eradicating the christofascist, patriarchal, racist current in the population that has been there since the country’s founding and before. That fight is just as important as going to DC and [REDACTED].

I wholeheartedly applaud and support them! They’re absolutely not the ones I’m referring to. Those I take issue with are the ones who do nothing but seek a pat on the head for being “one of the good ones”. I don’t care that you voted for Kamala or repost every Occupy Democrats meme you see. I care about praxis.

You’re right, just like the incessant comparisons between ICE and the Gestapo conveniently gloss over ICE’s much closer resemblance to slave catcher patrols. They refuse to admit this is a very, very old and well-established movement in their country. The problem is that they never decisively put down the Confederacy.

Nice try, CIA. Answering that question is how I got my Reddit account banned.
