Only MAGAs believe that. Any remotely sane person sees the situation as you do, as evidenced by the fact that Canada is now implementing counter-tariffs and the only people wailing about how unfair it is are said MAGAs. Who would never have been satisfied or influenced by anything we did, as it turns out.
Being known as mature adults is a good thing.
Equestrian ponies canonically put them in sandwiches.
We didn't lose anything by trying. We made no significant concessions that we now have to draw back.
So you think you can come to the Canadian border waving around a dead Canada goose and you'll be welcomed with open arms?
You'd be shot on sight. If we had any guns.
So if Linus Torvalds were to announce one day "I'm tired of Linux, time to burn it all down" that'd be fine? Someone else can just create a new operating system, after all.
The point here is that OP may have "created" the subreddit in the sense of clicking a few buttons and filling out some text fields, but at this point it's a community with 200,000 participants. Those participants also share in its ownership. Forcing them to jump through hoops recreating the whole thing just because OP's decided he wants a Viking funeral is selfish.
Ah, MAGA has found a new idiotic slogan to parrot. How tiresome.
It's "Americani ite domum"! Now write it a hundred times by sunrise or I'll cut your balls off.
Weird timeline, I find myself cheering China for its dedication to openness and competition while glancing nervously at a United States that has openly declared its intent to annex my country.
I guess we're back to the old way of things, where countries could simply roll into neighbours with their militaries and claim pieces of territory for themselves. The relative peace of the past 80 years was nice while it lasted.
I suppose if I had to look for silver linings, it'd be that Africa sorely needs some borders redrawn after the clusterfuck of colonialism. This isn't really the best way to do that though.
I'm pretty sure James Bond was tied up inside the spacesuit on that Tesla Roadster he launched in the direction of Mars.
You said Trudeau shouldn't have tried to negotiate. I disagree with that.
