The information I have seen leads me to believe that something really fucking bad is about to happen, and WW3 is about to kick off for real.

  • Canada and the US are still far apart on any "deal" that would see the tariffs go away, and Canadians likely are never going back even if the relationship thawed politically.

  • Trump renamed the "Department of Defense", to the "Department of War"

  • Trump is currently sending troops to Portland. (I believe I read it was close to 1,800. Please correct me if wrong)

  • Days later, Trump starts talking 51st state bullshit again.

  • Let us not forget that Putin and Trump are friends, and any issues between them are 100% performative.

Meanwhile:

  • China seems to be readying an attack on Taiwan.

  • China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

  • China is also buying up anything they can to get rights to our rare earth minerals.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia has also been poking around the Arctic.

  • Russia has been invading NATO airspace for some time now, specifically around where the leaders will gathered this week.

  • Reports of Russia potentially opening up a NATO front in the war with Ukraine.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

  • North Korea has been pushing some boundaries recently with South Korea.

I am missing a lot because I am just pulling from my memory (As an example the Saudi/Pakistan treaty that I didn't read into enough) but it just looks like this is it. I am not trying to be an alarmist, but I don't see these signals going any other way than directly to Global war.

China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

Categorically false. Everything else you said is propaganda speculation. South Korea, recently, has made closer relations with DPRK.

Anyway, you're probably just very confused, but which side of WW3 do you want Canada to be on? No Trump and Russia will not be on same side.

Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

That's a bit dramatic. They agreed to some deals, and wrote a press statement about how they're BFFs. There's still no way in hell Russia trusts either, and so vice verse, and NK/China relations are a whole weird thing. Ditto for India and China, which have made the impressive step of no longer openly beating each other with literal sticks over territory.

But yes, there are many, many powder kegs waiting to go off. The only question is if it could actually go hot, or it will stop at proxy wars, espionage and tradefare like the last time.

[-] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

North Korea and Russia have a military alliance as North Korean soldiers were fighting in Ukraine with Russia under Russian control.

I agree that it is a press statement being BFFs, but China has been supporting Russia's war efforts with Russia saying they would also support Chinese war efforts. It is definitely a weird alliance, and they most certainly do not trust each other, but they are clearly working together to be a counter to "Western" influence and are likely going to increase military, intelligence, and trade ties.

I hope that it stops at proxy wars, espionage, and tradefare. I just do not see it as likely given the climate.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 days ago

It's true that the three have become kind of aligned, I'll give you that. But, "alliance" implies something like NATO where an attack on one is an attack on all.

What you've mentioned are cases of Russia buying things. The NK troops were sent in exchange for technology and goods. China won't even sell devoted military hardware, only dual-use civilian technology.
