the tweet
I don't see any source that says this was some Russian provocation; the ship isn't even Russian. Why would Russians even want to directly provoke Americans? Makes no sense whatsoever.
russians provoke americans on a daily basis, that's the part that shouldn't be a surprise at all

a portuguese ship with a russian captain isn't the most adequate way to do it

you mean the tweet?

i also just read about this on other sites. the cargo ship is suspected to be on robot pilot while met services issued a warning of fog for the area, and the cargo ship didn't even make an attempt to avoid the collision. either this is extreme negligence or serious provocation
If the skipper was Russian he was probably just pissed. He's been arrested as well. I read that person has died.

one person is reported missing, most probably they'll never find him. and yes the russian is arrested

dunno man, abstract might be right. susko isn't usually full of shit but this looks like an overreaction indeed. they still say that most of the crew is russian, and with them you never know. they already damaged multiple underwater optical cables under the baltic sea and those ships weren't necessarily flagged russian (i remember one chinese ship)

Yeah you're not surviving long in the North Sea at any time of year, never mind now.

It's not a great look with a Russian captain and it being US military fuel.

Glad this professor got in early before Trump and his MAGAs shut down vital medical research altogether, although the health scene looks precarious for some out there.

However, although it not documented, I'm sure some sicko has been doing gender swap experiments on mice otherwise how could you get approval to do it on humans? It's a hidden side of science that you don't see. Same for cloning, you only see it in the news if it works.

Canadians and insurgency lol. Only in a third world country could that last for a long time, because they have nothing to lose. Canadians will bow down to US before US even threatens to attack.
I don't see why they would. Canada is incredibly vast and has recources everywhere. Their population would presumably enter a guerilla warfare and would no doubt be backed by almost the entirety of Europe. Not to mention that it seems likely that the majority of the US population would actually support the Canadians. This would be a war the US cannot win.

Met a contractor (houses) the other day. He was really concerned about the cost of timber going up due to reciprocal sanctions by Canada.
It is an absolute nightmare to be a contractor in the US right now. Trump is fucking these people over.

I get what you’re saying but I don’t know if the general population of Canada is in a state to fight guerilla warfare. Unfortunately I believe USA would be able to conquer them pretty easily. I only hope the military has enough people with sense in it that they do not go for it blindly because trump said so.

Even though there is probably a 0.000000000000000001% chance of the US trying to militarily invade Canada, there is an old military saying that comes to mind:
You can defeat an army (Canadian) but you cannot defeat the people (general population). Afghanistan and Iraq are recent examples.

with trump? he's completely insane and unpredictable. everything is 50-50% with him, he's not driven by rationality but childish feelings and delusions. the whole tariff war is a nightmare for everyone to begin with, and wanting to annex canada is also pure insanity. or just noise, not sure yet. either way, it's useless

btw he uses a pretty similar rhetoric by describing borders as "artificial lines" that putin used before invading ukraine. so there's that too

The thing is occupations don't just last a few weeks to a few months. Perhaps Canadians are not ready to fight and they would be overrun. But if they are occupied, they will start to build a resistance. It's just such a vast country, if you're an occupying force. Also take into account that Canadians would receive a hell of a lot of support from outside.

Afghanistan is interesting, because it also has roughly 40 million inhabitants just like Canada and the US never had anything anywhere near control over the territory.

I’m sure a resistance would build along the Canadian population over time but also the cultures between USA and Canada aren’t that different from the west and Middle East and quite frankly, Canadians are also used to a different standard of living than Afghans are.

Think Hong Kong vs China

Sure this administration is retarded for overloading federal agencies while also cutting federal agencies, but this is also on Canada for denying her entry tbh.
the detention and the circumstances are on the us based on the articles. even if her us visa expired, just put her on a plane. voluntary departure must be an option here if i'm not mistaken
