As much as I’d love to see it, that’s a one-way ticket to invasion by AmeriKKKans. Besides, Carney is an Oxford-educated economist which basically means he’s too stupid to recognize what’s good for the material interests of his country.
I agree it’s an unfortunate eventuality. Whether it’s in the next 2 months or 2 decades I’m fairly confident in my belief that we’ll see a Russia-Ukraine war situation but with USA and Canada.
A Russia-Ukraine war situation would mean that Canada at some point will have a government that is hostile towards the US. I find that extremely unlikely and actually think that Canada will sooner willingly give up it’s sovereignty to the US.
Canada will sooner willingly give up it’s sovereignty to the US.
For all intents and purposes it already has. As climate change accelerates the national bourgeois of the US will pine for Canada’s natural resource riches, which they know they can take like stealing candy from a baby.
There will be a point where Canada either ceases to exist as a sovereign entity or stands in defiance. Why are Canada and the US different nations to begin with for the last 250 years?
Exactly. I think Venezuela is difficult for the US to invade, just because of oceans and jungles and distances; boots on the ground style. Prolonged wars with mass-logistic kill-chains always happen along direct land borders. One might argue the Sino-Japanese war negates this, but Japan needed to prepare a base in Manchuria and Korea for decades prior.
I’m not sure if “too stupid” is the right wording. I think too “ideologically anti-communist” is better. No matter what amount of evidence he’ll see to the contrary there’s no way a man of his age is going to turn around and reject a life-time of neoliberalist ideology (even though China’s economic policies are also steeped in neoliberalism themselves).
Canadians are anti-communist first and liberal/conservative second. It’s how we were all raised.
Oh, and fervently loyal to the trans-atlantic “rules based international order” (which ofc means the yanks make the rules and we vassal states follow the orders, and as long as we’re facilitating western capital accumulation then we don’t actually have to follow international law because it’s just a pretend game)
I agree with all you said, which is why I consider it stupidity. Somebody ostensibly so smart unable to critically analyze the situation is fundamentally stupid in my book. If you’re addicted to the trashcan of ideology you are a dummy
Of course it would be exceptional if somebody in his circumstances would be able to have that realization, but plenty of class traitors in history have done so, many of whom with far weaker credentials.
I don’t want to give Mr. Banker too much benefit of the doubt, but it’s also possible that there’s a lot of shit getting said to us from The Burger Reich behind the scenes that the public is not privy to. I mean, if Trump’s willing to threaten us with annexation publicly, I wouldn’t want to know what kind of shit they say in private behind closed doors.
I guess with Carney’s recent trip to China we might start to hear some more public statements from the Burgerlanders. I dunno. But barring us developing a nuke, or hosting Chinese missiles on our territory aimed directly at Washington DC, I don’t know what other effective deterrent we could possibly have that would allow us to navigate our own independent foreign policy.
After all, we’re very explicitly part of the Donroe Doctrine now.

… this will be inevitable the moment they take Greenland.

our bourgeoisie revolted against the uk and theirs didn’t i guess

Wasn’t that sort of the case with the war of 1812?
Yeah that’s a decent way to think of it, although Canada at that time was a British colony so not quite 1-to-1.
Nah, it’ll be more like Russia-Belarus.
