Putin's long plan is coming together magnificently. He started with just one useful idiot, expanded to the whole Republican party and a third of the U.S. population.

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 24 points 4 months ago

Until EU gets Central and South America as strong allies, and probably eventually Japan, this making the much closer rival stronger.

Would be hilarious if it happened.

Take us in. We have maple syrup.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Come join us! We have wine and baguettes, I'm sure we can make it work.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

No joke, if you take a piece of baguette and soak it maple syrup, you will get an amazing little desert. There is probably some teachable moment there, I don't know

He's gonna come for Europe next, just watch abd see

Alienate all your allies speedrun

Jokes aside, why? There literally is no good reason to piss of people that like you and are willing to work with you

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Destroy the economy, collapse any remaining faith in democracy, sell the nation to the highest bidder.

It's going to be the biggest and most destructive form of disaster capitalism we've ever seen, mainly because they are the very people who are engineering the disaster in the first place.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Again, that is the thing I don't understand. They are already filthy rich. Why crash and burn everything? Wouldn't it be better to just continue making boatloads of money?

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 19 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I see you don't understand. They always need MORE.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

They are already getting more. They want more more.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

"They want more!"

"But, they're already making more money...what's the point?"

"Who said anything about money..."

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They have first boatloads of money, yes, but what about second boatloads of money?

It was great to be so close to USA on the map, until it wasn't.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago

Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.

Now the elephant isn't friendly anymore.

The EU and Canada see more doors opening up to counter the idiots running the USA into the ground. The Canadians stopped purchasing US alcoholic beverages.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

BC just stopped purchasing alcohol from Red states which is hilarious

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Ontario alone purchases $1B in American liquor per year. While in the big scheme of things it's peanuts, it is $1B less in American distiller's pockets.

And Ontario isn't just targeting red states in the ban.

Can't wait for the glorious clusterfuck of a CA-EU-UK-CN-JP trade aliance. Even Russia would be neutered, possibly NK too because both ultimately depend on China. If SK follows Japan, there won't be an NK anymore. Putin's regime will collapse as his wartime economy implodes, while EU gets it's cheap gas back plus cheap Chinese EVs too smoothly transition.

EU could ensure it's own security through independence from the very nation it needed to protect it (US). This would also basically completely contain Trump too.

Rip up the US copyright/patent laws and stimulate the economy, cut off support for US vassals like Israel, cut the US off from Five Eyes, and if they do so much as peep, no more cheap shit and we put nukes in Canada.

Polish cavalrymen riding alongside English royal guards rattling sabers of glorious Chinese steel.

Daily Military exercises off the coast of Taiwan, but to the south-east of Taiwan :)))

Probably hopium though. EU itself will splinter before long.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

This is pretty optimistic.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

Have you noticed that since Trump declared he'll invade the EU, China's foreign policy has turned a lot against Russia?

Stationed in the rocky mountains. This is a pretty good prompt for a short story about the balkanization of the former United States

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 5 points 4 months ago

I love my home a lot but the EU feels more like home right now. Even before anything you said comes to fruition and I hope it does. Sadly for us were here stuck with this fascist orange turd till my countryman figure out that its too late to negotiate.

Just a heads up, start building up your militaries fast as I have a feeling this will get a lot worse before it gets better.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I accept your offer of an egg. Thank you for your sympathies. Also for the egg.

Don’t fucking give them eggs, the ones left who care will be satiated because they got cheaper, promise fulfilled, and the fascism will accelerate.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They offering eggs to Canada.

What? Did you think anybody bothers to talk with the US right now?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 4 months ago

I dunno with US egg prices so high, I thought it was a good way for the EU troll the US.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 23 points 4 months ago

US citizens just now learning how quickly decades of mutual trust and diplomacy can evaporate if you unleash a sociopathic narcissist on your allies for no reason.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Look at this lottery winner out here passing out eggs.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's OK, Canada has enough eggs on its own I think.

If not, I guess it's finally time to get a few chickens! We've been meaning to anyhow.

Hey, whatever happens at least we'll have eggs.

Eggs are for closers.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm sorry if it's a dumb question but It's honest, Isn't canada somewhat under UK still? Wouldn't tbe US have problems with UK too if they keep pushing? Have no horse on this race, just asking coz I'm dumb

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They’re supposed to. I have no idea aside from logistics why we still have the monarchy. King Charles ain’t doing shit.

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Ceremony and tradition, probably.

As a Brit, fuck the monarchy.

[–] win95@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Unrelated but I always call myself dumb which "isn't that deep" but I recently realized I do feel dumb when asking questions when in fact we are the opposite of dumb since we want to expand our knowledge and we know that we don't know. Most people just stay ignorant and don't want to see themselves as not knowing everything and thus they stay dumb.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted talk and you're not dumb!
