Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Honestly probably not a good idea. Trump is petty and vindictive.
It's plays excellently for the domestic audience, and making Trump stop being mean was never an option.
So far, I haven't heard any response at all from Trump.
Trudeau is retiring, it doesn't matter. And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won't happen? Seriously?
Knowing Trump, yeah, probably.
Jeez we have rolling 30 day delays in tariff wars. Trump is stupid in lots of ways but you/he doesn't lose sight of being slighted that quickly. How long was it between Obama mocking him at the dinner and him running for president? Lot more than 12 hours.
I see little chance that was the only reason for running, and the people he doesn't like tend to slight him a lot - far more than he could keep track of even if he was intellectually normal. By all appearances, the input -> brain -> shitpost/order chain on the guy is very short and fast.
He could have fired back and said "now it's 50%", I guess. It's also possible someone will remind him. Either way, I don't think it will resonate as a huge mistake a year from now.
Being offended is not quickly forgotten. Ever hear the phrase "it's not what you say, it's how you make people feel"? That's because emotions are held for a loonngg time. Next time tariffs come up it's just a feeling of "Trudeau's an asshole, fuck him and Canada".
No one threatens the sovereignty of another nation in a credible way and gets away with it. Pushback is necessary.
Don't forget, he already hates Trudeau, and probably won't love his successor either.
And this isn't helping. It's only adding fuel to the fire. FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.
Doesn't that imply your plan is to put out the fire? That's not an option.
I feel like we haven't been at this nearly long enough for that distinction. It hasn't even been an hour.
Seriously? No, not adding more fuel means NOT ADDING MORE FUEL. Let Trump get distracted with the next thing, god knows there's enough, and let this thing peter out.
And so you are a stick in the mud. Thanks, lets me know who I'm conversing with. Not worth it. Ciao.
Bye.
You gain nothing from bowing down to or fearing fascists. They should be openly mocked for the weak, cowardly fuckstains they are.
Simply not saying anything isn't bowing down. Trump is one bad night's sleep from literally invading Canada.
Further, wounded-narcissism is the primary-motivation behind being a mass-shooter.
Increasing the wounded-narcissism is petty.
It "solves" the wrong problem.
Trudeau proved that he didn't understand tactics when the counter-tarrifs he put against the US in the last Trump-trade-war were damaging Democrat regions, instead of only tarriffing Republican regions.
I see no reason he would have set-up correct strike-against-the-aggressor tarrifs, this-time.
So, instead he increases Trump's likelihood of getting more-violent against Canada??
Immaturity cannot be permitted to rule our countries, XOR we are accommodating our rulers to railroad our viability, itself.
( this also indicates that we require a culture of enforcing-all-our-growing-up, instead of the petty MSM culture we've allowed to mesmerize all our world, & we need it now. )

He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There's not a whole lot more he's going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.
Nah Trump hates Canada and Trudeau. He really does want to annex it, the only question is peacefully or not.
The answer is "Not".
Cowering from bullies doesn't make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you're an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can't come for you without having to pay for it.
Lol it's not cowering. It's letting Trump get distracted by something else. Lots of people here are 14 and very badass. A literal war is not out of the question and Canada would lose. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - Man that was stabbed. Trudeau would be better to just let Trump get distracted by the next thing.
He's not going to get distracted from colonial geopolitics. He's been primed for it for a while which is why he popped the rhetoric first thing. There are other forces in his tyrant cabal who want it too, or at least want the regional destabilization of North America.
We can't ostrich this one away. Show resolve.
The fact that a war isn't out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we'll bite back.
Yeah you do that politically and militarily. Not with taunting and snarky hockey comments.
If the PM saying publically "You can't take our country" isn't an example of doing just that, I don't know what would be.
Sigh. That's not political. That's stupid smack talk. That's fucking asking him to do it. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - man that was stabbed.
