Does any power or water or sewage systems come from the Canadian side? If so, they should be cut off. Not to mention, a fence should be constructed inside to block off American illegals from crossing into Canada. Even better, put a border check point there.
If they want to go stupid, we can go full stupid.
And the bigly brained free market capitalists in his party will cheer while he targets a corporation for engaging in free market capitalism.
I'm old enough to remember when a group of people this collectively deluded were kept in asylums.
I just watched that, and no, he didn't say we need to become more dependent on the US. He said that there is opportunity for us in the US. That in no way means that he thinks we should be dependent on them.
Yeah... now...
I'm in one of those countries that you're being a dick to.
This is an issue going back at least 2 decades. Probably more. That's just when I became aware of it.
Or he finds a way to turn them evil.
Exactly the point.
The point is not whether it's good or not. The Army told the govenrment multiple times, they don't need them and they are being wasted.
If you read that article, that point was made.
And they said, you could maintain the minimum level of production by foreign owners alone.
Those weapons systems aren't being bought because they're needed or work well.
No. Because the antediluvians running the party don't understand why they keep losing. Maybe they should try a tactic other than "Stop, or I'll say stop again.
I read the BBC article your link cited.
A couple of really telling points.
What it doesn't say is what happens when support against regime change is >50%. 2/3rd of the US population through either direct support (voted for) or indirect support (couldn't care to vote), put a convicted criminal racist rapist who was very clear what he was going to do, in power.
How many of those non-violent campaigns had foreign intelligence support for them, and how many against? The CIA, FSB (KGB) and many others had their fingerprints all over so many of those. Certainly today, we know without a doubt that Trump has been and likely still is supported by the FSB. And yet, not a disqualifier.
People have been protesting so long against him that some people who were in diapers when he announced his intentions to run, will be old enough to vote in the next election. If there is one.
As a historical study, it's great. But in terms of analyzing the current modern state, nothing older than 20 years should be considered. Technology has changed the game so much that comparing the world of today to the world of pre-2000 is useless. 20 years may even be too much.
Twitter helped overthrow the Egyptian regime, but today is owned by one of the people running the regime.
While the scope is too wide, it's also too narrow because it only goes back to 1900. It misses some very important events.
There is more, and I kept the scope for the same approximate period of time as the study did.
What's important to note here, is the study looked at a post WW1 world where the League of Nations and the UN provided a place to air a countries dirty laundry and organize counters against them like public shaming and sanctions. A large part of the success being the support of the United States. Today, the US is actively dismantling the institutions that kept the world from needing violence for positive change.
It also excludes regime changes using foreign military support. So no;
And the most important example, because it has the most significance to today...
So here I sit in 1937 Poland, listening to the Orange Oberbefehlshaber talk about how all of the countries around are taking advantage of them, and how large sections of the population of those countries support him, and how Vichy Alberta wants to join them....
How many fucks do you think I'll give about protests against him when US tanks are rolling down my street.
Because it's getting shown to those of us outside the US.
