Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?
Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.
This is so he can get wartime and “emergency powers” to stop the midterm elections
Can’t wait to be jailed for being an enemy of the state for fucking anything
If that time comes, remove as many as you can and don’t be a prisoner
I don’t want to be a prisoner but let’s be honest they already know what I have typed. It’s already been green lit to spy on queer folx for being queer.
That’s why you need to get a bottle of fash away and make sure they orally take the product for best results. Emergency use only.
To avoid getting banned, I’m not going to spell it out but you can read between the lines.
Then maybe we should stop exporting it.
Yeah we should totally ban drug smuggling!
If you want peace, prepare for war.
I’m not being facetious and I’m not joking, and I don’t think he is either.
Should have acquired nukes. This is the message.
suitcase nukes pretty easy to access for nations that have different friends than US.
They weren’t real and still aren’t. You can make a nuke small enough to fit in, say, a shell (and the US did), but the minimum critical mass is still way too heavy to carry around. Uranium and plutonium are both significantly denser than lead.
It’s kind of wild you think any nuclear weapon would be “easy to access”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suitcase_nuclear_device
both US and Russia had programs started in 1950s. Official denials aside, there is evidence they were made. At any rate, car sized, or truck sized nukes are both easier, and higher yield.
Access from nation states cooperating with your nation state “can be made easy”. US has made everyone angry, and won’t know who hit them. A single nuclear detonation in US would collapse its government, currency and economy due to already being up against sustainable debt limit.
You could put a Davy Crockett in conspicuously beefy wheeled luggage, it’s true. Or a backpack worn by a muscly special forces dude, like in the picture. I feel like people picture a skinny briefcase when you say “suitcase nuke”, though.

Who are we thinking of, North Korea? Russia likes the new guy in America, and China likes stability. India and Pakistan have no dog in this fight, and everyone else was a steadfast ally just months ago.
First off, that’s the sort of thing that will take more than a lunch to arrange. Second, the level or recklessness here is crazy, and killing thousands of civilians with a first strike would make us the bad guy. Third, debt load won’t mean very much if they have the kind of political will that would produce.
I guess I should point out we’d have no trouble making our own nuke if we really needed it, too. There’s hundreds of tons of plutonium mixed in the spent fuel we have in storage right now, and we have lots of people who can design the thing.
Russia likes the new guy in America
US empire hatred of Russia is not changed. Russia can meet its objectives in Ukraine without Trump speeding it up, in exchange for not defending Iran for Israel’s benefit, or getting free nuclear power stations it controls. China is already on a delete America program. US isolating itself into being useless to the world, makes resetting it and all of the fools who support its debt, a path for a new global marshall plan led by China. North Korea is the one who can help the cheapest. Again, car or container sized works too.
Canada is increasing divisiveness with US enemies list. Bold strategy, Cotton.

The US is a bank masquerading as a country. Bond vigilantes are real, and crediblity for more debt weak.

Permean or other oil basins would kill little while destroying US energy sector. Question is whether it is true that “we will never become 51st state”. Maybe that means we accept the total economic destruction of our country, and all demaning subjugation short of accepting territorial rule. Instead it could mean that all defense of our sovereignty is pursued, instead of gaslighting temporary resistance like Chuck Schumer.

That’s way too big for a single nuke. It’s a geological layer. Even multiples wouldn’t do it. Maybe we could just sink the country while we’re at it. /s

Banks don’t have an army or the ability to tax you. Also, the US is still way behind Japan, for example.
The minimum critical mass of plutonium is around 20 pounds which is not unreasonable and being denser than lead is actually good since it allows it to be very compact
CANDU !
Si vis pacem, para bellum
First as tragedy, then as farce
For a guy who said he wasn’t gonna go to war, he sure as fuck sounds like a guy getting ready for war.
Since the major sources of fentanyl brought into the USA are from Mexico and South America, and originate in China I get the feeling he will either invade the south or just use this as an excuse to grab more power without actually mobilizing. He sure as fuck doesn’t have the balls to deal with daddy China, he praises the shit of out Xi.
I just hope the economy finally crashes before he gets the chance.
It’s interesting that this 2019 article shows this idea isn’t a new one - https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/21/politics/dhs-fentanyl-wmd/index.html
The fact that they were considering back then has me wondering if this apparently leaked draft EO might have actual substance to it, which is disturbing to say the least.
Mexican cartels and elements of the heroin trade have been known to use fentanyl as an additive to increase the potency of other illegal drugs.
He’s already invoked the alien enemies act against Venezuelan cartels, effectively declaring war on Venezuela. He’s setting up a shooting war in Central America.
No, he did not effectively declare war on Venezuela, which is exactly why his use of the act was immediately blocked by courts. He’s trying to use a law designed for times of war without actually being in a war with the people he wants to target.
That war is how he is going to solve the economic crisis resulting from hia isolationist tariffs.
Yes, www.thehandbasket.co seems like a reputable, reliable source. /s

The Handbasket is run by Marisa Kabas who is a well respected independent journalist who has broken several stories about rumoured Trump EOs that turned out to be accurate.
He’s so far outside the box predictions don’t work anymore. But food for thought; Americans associate drugs with Mexico far more than any other country. So this would be one hell of a head whip for the general public. Americans also still consider Canada one of our closest friends on the global stage. Many families in the North span the border. For that fact alone there’s a very good chance that if he attacks Canada we’d shut this country down with protests and strikes.
On a rational predictable level he’s already declared cartels to be terrorists and Venezuela to be a terrorist state. This is very likely another tool to pressure the Mexican government.
That said, I wouldn’t trust us right now. We’re like that friend who took too much cocaine and is hiding in the closet with a gun. Unpredictable and dangerous.
Your optimism as to how the American people would react is cute, but likely not realistic. There’s a huge chunk of Americans who voted for this, there’s another huge chunk that didn’t care to even bother voting. The thought that someone who couldn’t be arsed to spend an hour popping in to vote, would get organized and take up arms – especially on behalf of other people / principles / morals – is a bit of a stretch.
Here’s the thing. The way the American highway system works is it goes from city to city. And millions of people in the northern cities voted against him. We don’t need to shut down the roads in the rural red areas. His Canadian state idea also wasn’t a part of his campaign and many Americans still think it’s nothing more than him being his normal blathering self. So we aren’t seeing true opposition get captured in polling yet.
I agree that he’s dangerous. And I don’t know what we could do to stop him but I am absolutely sure the military would suffer high rates of desertion compared to orders to invade Panama, Mexico, or Venezuela. I am also sure that Congress would not use the war powers act to stop him in any invasion, nor would he listen to them if they did. So whatever has to happen is up to the people, and there are at least 80 million pissed off Americans right now. You’re right that I can’t guarantee anything on their behalf. I can only offer an inside perspective and my apologies.
Speaking for myself, someone with family and friends in the US, I don’t trust you one bit right now - your current government is an enemy to Canada, period.
Yeah, I’m not really sure Americans would shut down their country at this point. For one thing, they seem incapable of protesting. More importantly though, Republicans seem fully sold on an invasion and even some Democrats seem rather excited to use us to “move their politics left” (as if we’d get the right to vote)
If this goes forward, we have to pay close atention. This certainly is looking for two goals, short and long term. Short is Canada and Mexico. Long term is China
I used to order a powered reascearch chemical dmt into the states legally. There are no laws banning it. But i wont anymore since theres no telling what could happen now. Any white powered could land me into so much trouble.
Trump right now.
Can we just FFW to the end? Pretty please?

The end of the video where the cops shoot and kill him and realize all his “declarations” were absolute horseshit.

Well, if we’re fantasizing, I vote we give ‘im the ol’ William Wallace treatment. Far more fitting for the chaos he’s caused. Make Elon watch with the assurance that he’s next.
Not guns?
Those photos of WMDs? They were balls.
Hands down one of the best shows ever!!
Fentanyl is the preferred opiate in hospitals. Cheaper per dose. US used to be able to “influence” Afghanistan to help its drug trade profits. Fentanyl is cheap because it doesn’t need controlled plants in addition to potency.
Hard to get an exact number for hospital theft amount of fentanyl, but
3,600 cases of alleged drug theft at healthcare facilities over the last five years, including 280 cases so far in 2020.
111,000 instances here where the folks that were reviewing [drug inventories] could not figure out why the math didn’t add up,"
What is almost certain is that US healthcare system is a larger source of illegal fentanyl than Canada. If the absurdity that it is a WMD is taken, there should be military security around hospitals before it’s placed at the borders.
The death potential of the vial of Anthrax Colin Powell quoted to UN was based on using an eye dropper to kill individuals one by one. WMDs actually require mass deaths from one event as a definition.
Canada needs to immediately stop military cooperation with US. Kick them out of NORAD unless they pay high rent. Stop threatening US enemies, and accepting them as our own.
yep, when my wife was giving birth, they gave her Fentanyl.
Guess all hopsitals are terrorists.
I had fent for abdominal surgery.
I got it for a wrist reconstruction, the nurse said ill give you some fentayll now and I asked isn’t that the drug that’s killing everyone?
Her answer before I was off with the fairies.
“Yeah but you won’t know if you die”
