I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of Canada than since Mark Carney took over as PM. This is what Leadership looks like.
“Canada is now the first country on Earth to formally sever close ties with Trump’s America.”

2025: “Rubio says #Trump’s ‘51st state’ plan not on #G7 summit agenda in #Canada”.
1939: Hitler issues ultimatum to Poland, 16 fake demands which would trigger an invasion if not met.
The media treated Hitler like a harmless buffoon.

@yosh In the case of Canada the word "Anschluss" also comes to mind. One key difference though is that Austria was in no way committed to resisting being absorbed by Nazi Germany.
Invasion can be and should be resisted by force, and not just by governments that can surrender but by militias and insurgent groups so nobody can surrender for everyone else.
I will be siding with Canada, with Greenland, and with Panama if Trump gets his wars. Hell maybe they will help us resist from inside the US in the process as Britain aided the French Resistance and German anti-Nazi groups.
Don't say the US can't be beaten by these countries, many thought Gaza could not beat Israel either only to be proven wrong.
And if China does jump in it will be looking at that huge, mineral and resource rich, british occupied but lightly defended island nation to the south east.
The one that currently has a flotilla of Chinese navy vessels circling and doing live fire exercises off its east coast.

Trump’s ‘Neville Chamberlain' Problem
Putin is not going to stop until he has all of Ukraine
“Europeans understand, as the #Trump administration appears not to, that Ukraine wants a peace deal — it just doesn’t want to end up destroyed by the peace terms.
The obsession of Mr. Putin is all of Ukraine, nothing less. It is neither #NATO nor a strip of Ukrainian land.
If #Ukraine is still independent and armed by the end of negotiations, Mr. #Putin will not see that as the end.
He will settle for a piece of Ukraine today only to come for the whole tomorrow."

OK to arming #Ukraine to the teeth but if #US and others refuse to get involved to avoid #WWIII every time #Russia invades an ally, they are essentially giving #Putin carte blanche.

Trump: “You’re not in a good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.”
Zelenskyy: “I’m not playing cards. I’m very serious, Mr. President. I’m very serious.”
Trump: “You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War III.”
Zelenskyy: “What are you speaking about?”
Trump: “You’re gambling with World War III. And what you’re doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that’s backed you far more than a lot of people said they should have.”
Vance: “Have you said thank you once?”
Zelenskyy: “A lot of times. Even today.”
Vance: “No, in this entire meeting. You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition in October.”
Zelenskyy: “No.”
Vance: “Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of America and the president who’s trying to save your country.”
Zelenskyy: “Please. You think that if you will speak very loudly about the war, you can –”
Trump: “He’s not speaking loudly. He’s not speaking loudly. Your country is in big trouble.”
Zelenskyy: “Can I answer —”
Trump: “No, no. You’ve done a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.”
