@streetfestival Why would they want Cuba??? What will they do with a communist island right next to the fascist state of Florida?.
Many of the same reasons they’re going after Iran - the US holds long, long grudges against anyone who humiliates them, and they also cultivate extremely reactionary weaponized diasporas from people who fled revolutionary states. Little Marco wants his plantations back.
I think they’re concerned that Florida will get Communist cooties from it.

Canada isn’t a global police force. If a country asks us for help, we can consider it. Outside of that, only America, Russia and China push their world views on other nations. Canada barely helps Canadians, let’s focus on that!
Helping other nations who are in greater need than we are, and representing and fighting for peace IS helping Canadians.
We have a good reputation in most of the world. So much so that the asshole Americans for decades have been sewing canadian flags on their backpacks because people treat them way better.
Don’t get me wrong, we should absolutely help Canadians. But if Canada ends up helping 1,000 starving children in Africa, my first instinct isn’t going to be “well fuck that money should be spent here”. 1,000 starving kids is 1,000 starving kids. I don’t fucking care if they’re purple.
Same logic with big ticket things around the world like this. It’s sometimes worth the cost. The world is bigger than just you and your fellow Canadians.
americans have become an immensely selfish society. they dont care about anyone else, even their own people, until it directly impacts them. you can see it in their attitudes to their new war - they dont care until their petrol prices go up. thats when they say their new war is bad. killing 150+ school girls not bad until “omg petrol prices “.
they have always been that way, this is not a recent development, you can see countless examples throughout their history.
Disagreeing with this means you share the American Nationalist attitude. Being friendly and helpful is part of what defines us as Canadian.
picking fights with America isn’t a good idea. he’s already attacked 2 countrys so far and is now eyeing a third. why are you people so insistent on asking for us to get into fights when were not even strong enough to take care of ourselves fully, fucking soapbox hoarders…
First they came for…
Are you saying Canada should run the America blockade? Alone?? Cuz that the logical endpoint that your implying.
This is what I mean, all you can come up with are quotes that aren’t your own in responce to a valid question.
Vertue signaling still aren’t appreciated when they can’t back up their talk with answers or counter argument. Sure people might pat you on the back in the moment, but you accomplish little to nothing unless you actually have a plan, do you or anyone here have a plan on how to make what you want to have happen, happen?
You’re changing your story. First you’re making it sound like we should avoid angering the rapist, now you’re saying you can’t possibly expect us to be the only ones to stand up to the rapist. Either way, this is what you sound like.
Here’s a plan. I want my government to speak the truth about Trump, and America, to their face. And I am willing to be attacked by Trump if it means being on the side of right. The truth is the truth.
If you think it’s virtue signaling, it’s not because it is, it’s because your model doesn’t come with much empathy, or perhaps bravery. So you assume everyone else has the same wiring, so we must be faking it.
It’s honestly nauseating that we have to share the planet with people who assume that people can’t stand for anything on its own merit…there always has to be a catch with people who mock “virtue signaling”.
How did we get to the point where some people would rather literal pedophiles and rapists be appeased than have to suffer any kind of consequence at all?
Burn it down. I don’t care. If we can take the billionaires with us, even better.
Have a fucking spine.
it is virtue signaling because the lot of you are trying to frame it like its a stand against the fucking holocaust because trump is blocking oil shipments you regarded individuals, thats pathetic and masturbatory.
at this point I don’t feel like arguing with someone who cant even present a proper argument regarding the geopolitical ramification of interfering with cuba, “oh lets just denounce him” yah that’ll help ward him off his shitty plans and really hit him where it hurts, yah you hurt him, but not in any way that matters.
all you have are insults and a soup box, your not going to get vary far with that “plan” superman.
also, show some military id or equivalent if your so confident in “fighting” trump. im waiting for my paper work with the navy but id show screen shots of the process im at to prove it, prove your anything other then a keyboard warrior farming “reddit” karma.
I was reading this and getting annoyed at such a bad take, but then I read “all you have are insults and a soup box” and I couldn’t help laughing.
I can only assume this is well-executed trolling.

Please go read Shake Hands with the Devil by Romeo Dallaire.
We (Canada) are most certainly a very important part of the “world police”, as you call it.
We are very fortunate to have a better reputation than we deserve. We should try improving the reputation and try even harder at deserving it.
