Hey Ken, go fuck yourself, you hypocritical piece of shit.

Not to mention why they are using it in the first place… so they can’t be FOIA’d

That’s because you looked “other”.

Just don’t do that next time, you should be fine.

(/S, just in case)

I am definitely not going to argue against the U.S. being a turd bucket.

I’m just saying China is the pot calling the kettle black.

For the next four years, absolutely keep us at arms length and don’t trust us.

China has been untrustworthy for decades and has zero impetus for change.

Meanwhile, my cats have probably already agreed on how to divvy up my corpse.

You should come. Just bring a couple hundred thousand well armed friends and annex New England, New York, and Pennsylvania They won’t complain, except the white trash in upstate NY, just throw some meth on their direction, that’ll shut them up, but feel free to avoid Jersey, unless you’ve gotten your shots.

And now you are practically in mortar range of the White House.

I’m not saying US good, China bad.

I’m saying you have to be pretty dumb to think China has any business talking shit about anyone.

It is this kind of bullshit that got Trump elected.

Y’all are either a bunch of trolls, paid propagandists, or just really dumb.

I looked it up and you are clearly delusional that this “Northwest Passage” is some kind of major shipping lane or has any real value at all.

It wasn’t even clear of ice until 2009 and is reported to be as shallow as 15’ in many parts.

Keep building this fantasy of yours. It is entertaining.

Any political advesery will take any opportunity, ESPECIALLY China, to make statements like this, because they can. They pretend to take the high road in order score points.

It’s laughable that anyone can even take it at face value. I am serious when I say that Trump was elected because people are so fucking dumb, that they can’t see the emperor has no clothes.

This is the same kind of bullshit political messaging, and it’s outrageous that you can even give China the benefit of the doubt.

I’m not trying to say USA is good, China is bad. I’m saying China has a history of this bullshit, so now you eat it up because they are talking shit about the abomination the U.S. has become.

FYI, saying China has been outspoken against the war is a perfect example.

It doesn’t cost them anything to say it, meanwhile they are happily selling weapons to Russia.

Just like US saying what is happening in Palestine is bad, while dumping armaments be on Israel.

Talk is so cheap, so you have to look at actions and China’s actions are about as bad as they come.

How is this whataboutism? You just picked some random buzzword to come back at me?

Man I thought Lemmy would be different but there is no real dialogue, just garbage vomited into comments

China has no fucking leg to stand on.

Anyone who can’t see the hypocrisy, then you are just like the idiots that voted for Trump.

The Northwest passage?!??

Now I know you are just trolling.

A LOT to unpack here:

A. The U.S. government is broke!? That is one of the dumbest takes I’ve seen in a while. Makes it difficult to take any other part of your post seriously.

Currently run by fascist morons that my fellow fascist citizens elected, yes. Broke, not fucking remotely true.

B. No one takes it seriously that he is going to somehow magically take over Canada. He says that shit because he is either so stupid, he actually believes he can, or is just saying it to get under Canadian’s skin. (Probably both).

C. “Canada’s strategically advantageous geographical location.”. What strategic importance does Canada’s location have? We already have Alaska. Is there some secret shipping lanes, or laser polar bears we don’t know about?

Resources? Your shale sands oil sucks and has to be piped to the US anyway, to be processed.

You have a lot of wood I guess? We have a TON of resources here, it’s just been cheaper to mine elsewhere because environmental law, makes it pretty expensive to exploit. He’s in the process of gutting those.

Canada just needs to keep doing what it is doing and tell us to fuck off. (Kind of like what we both do to our indigenous populations.)

He’ll eventually drive our economy into the dirt, and fuck over the dumbass blue color voters (that he supposedly champions), and maybe, just maybe, the Democrats will get behind a true progressive instead of a Susan Collins, Hillary Clinton type cunt.

Zelenskyy

So I guess we are the new axis of evil.

Sorry about this guys. No hard feelings when you split us in to East/West America.

Off to make a fake wall to hide my neighbor’s family from the Gesta… from ICE.

I fell in love with the first gens, but by the time I was able to buy one, it was a '96. 4WD and a standard. Terrible gas mileage, but I loved that baby and she always got me where I was going.

But I agree, the first gens were awesome.

Look what they did to my Pathfinder!

Fuck Nissan.

I’m right there with you and I live here. It boggles my mind that people voted for him and people stayed home.

The leadership on the left is terrible, and there is so much money and propagandizing on the right, it is insane.

They know who and how to target political messaging in a way that that was unheard of 20 years ago.

Even now, there are smart intelligent people that are like, “He seems to be making a difference.” Holy fucking shit!

And then they get mad when I ask them how. They always have bullshit propaganda points that were spoon fed to them and zero, actual understanding of the issues.

He said himself, it’s not a crime if you are saving America!

I hope Trump is told to fuck off and the rest of the world tariff’s us to fucking death.

I had a long rant but it just boils down to Hillary finalized the death of the Democratic Party and there has been zero coherent leadership after her eviceration of it.

Maybe America needs to die so something better can rise from its ashes.
