Yeah because it would be the most embarrassing defeat in history. For the USA

Insulting your closest geographical and cultural ally is a very strong move for very strong and serious men to do. it's so strong. This is how you know they have strong policy. they kid around and made dumb jokes about a country we have fought modern wars side by side with.

From the administration who just launched a few hundred million dollars worth of tomahawks at Iran without saying they were at war with them either.

I really wish journalists with integrity were allowed to question these dorks. They would be eviscerated every follow up question.

"I don’t think you can be in a tit for tat with someone that’s 13 times larger than you are"

Agreed. Which is why we need asymmetric measures that make the USA hurt a lot more than us. Specifically, make their billionaires squeal like piggies. Tax US cloud services, streaming services, and app services. Cap the profits that their app stores can charge. Clamp down on what advertising is acceptable. Force them to open APIs.

Right to repair legislation. Force them to open app store competition.

Level the playing field for Canadian software companies and developers.

We can't compete with them dollar for dollar. So compete with them penny for dollar.

While they're at it, rename the Bald Eagle the Canada Eagle. We have more of them anyway.

Your white house burned down long before modern submarines existed dude.. sit down.

We should just cut off all the electricity we send down there, all the gas we send down there (I know Smith will have a hissy fit but oh well), we should stop sending all the lumber down there, we should stop sending all the metal down there, we should stop sending all the uranium down there, and just to top it off we should stop sending all the potash down there and see how long until they starve.

Wild to say you're not afraid of an invasion from the only country that's ever successfully invaded the US. What can Canada do? Burn down the White House again.

they weren't at war with Venezuela either, but they did invade them, deposed their leader, and now control their oilfields…

The secretary also suggested Prime Minister Mark Carney was to blame for the current “political shouting match”

Trump has started a shouting match with a dozen different countries. At some point it becomes obvious the US is the problem in international relations

Just like the russia attacking Ukraine is not a war.

"Well, I don't think you can be in a tit for tat with someone that's 13 times larger than you are," he said.

Russia would like a word....

Also, Fuck you, asshoke.

They're just pissed because they're losing JTF2.

Seriously Canadas special forces are literally the most elite in the world.

When they need it done with zero mistakes, they send JTF2.

Ah, we're 1000% at war with Canada then.

One is a cockroach, the other is make believe.

The best thing everyone in Canada can do is just ignore these fuckwits and carry on working with the rest of the world. There's nothing to be gained by engaging. Even if they did agree to something, it woudn't be worth the paper it's printed on. So walk away and ignore them.

I don't want us to be at war with the US, but I don't want us to be subjugated by them either. it's bad enough the Americans are subjugated by themselves

their militant psychopath leaders and their sycophants can choke on a bag of dicks though if they wouldn't enjoy it so much

Bessent causes more American suffering than any Canadian ever could.

More gaslighting

For decades the canadians have lorded over us, their geese show no respect for our customs and immigration laws, flouting them with impunity. I hear they are illegal voting for the democrat party.

Then all of this smoke sent down here?

Fuck that! Build the wall! Build the wall! Build the wall!

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining

Bessent has such a punch-able face.

I swear we will burn your fucking house down. Again. Bitch.

This asshole is a Republican and gay. That is it. He is Gay. He chooses to be a Republican.

We'll just wave some steaks in front of your troops 😉

Come on Bessent, you still need to tell Secretary Kegsbreath to deploy the USS Lincoln against bond prices, before you talk about war with us.

Every word out of that man's mouth is a lie.

"My farts smell like sunshine and rainbows," insists U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Special Economic Operation

That's not very reassuring given the US has been "not at war" with Iran for 6 months now

It's just an excursion.

We must unite against the Canuck threat, lest we be subjected to their beer.

Our submarines often humiliate their battle groups by taking periscope pictures of their carriers.

Also, the American submarine commander courses have a whole bunch of rules in place to ensure they win when they are up against our frigates and helicopters.

Alright, where is that to-do list. I swear, I filed it under G for Geneva when I immigrated...

It's a full on Grey Zone conflict

Isn’t that was Russia is (or at least was saying for the longest time) saying?

Can I borrow G.O.R.T.’s machine please. Just for a little bit.

Dressed this up as "Carney just hates America/Trump for no reason". This started with absolutely a war on Canada with BS fentanyl excuse for tariffs and 51st state threats. Objective to destroy Canadian auto sector.

Canada has recognized its a war, but is not doing anything.

Ultimatum to abandon all auto tarriffs, or if Canadian auto sector is diminished, there will be 0 US market access to one of world's largest auto markets. Pressuring companies directly, and seizing factories when then don't immediately repay past subsidides. Closing Canadian market to US aviation, tractors, construction equipment. Far better value available elsewhere, including China. And no buying better value products is not dependency on evil. Forcing Canadians to buy expensive crap is dependency on evil.

It's only this utlimatum posture that results in US begging to restoring historical relationship by Monday.

Cancelling all US military equipment procurement is a cherry to get US begging for a deal, and to restore our positions in queues.

The other crazy boast from Bessent yesterday was "US bonds have outperformed G7 bonds" which is admitting that US/Trump has destroyed global economy. Pathetic loser vassals just smiled.
