"But then I see Chrystia Freeland making deranged statements about deploying British nuclear deterrents on Canadian soil."

Tiny problem with that.

Those nukes are leased from America.

LMAO

These people are retards.

I'm not sure if that's reassuring or even more horrifying

groddlo's avatar

France and USA are the only two western countries that have actual nukes. But France doesn't have good delivery systems: 64 ICBMs total.

The way their demographics are going you can replace ICBMs with "yutes" from the Banlieues.

UK doesn't have it's own nukes. The warheads it has are on loan from USA and can't be detonated without USA giving the goahead.

UK doesn't have freedom of action when it comes to nuclear weapons. France does.

John Carter's avatar

I actually didn't know this until just recently.

Embarrassing.

Zin's avatar

It's not true, but I've seen it getting repeated on reddit and in other places. I think she knows France and the UK will never actually agree to cover us in the Nuclear Umbrella but was either yapping to boost the fear of American annexation or actually trying to pressure France a-la Zelensky v Trump/Vance since her announcement came like a day before Macron indicated he would be interested in replacing the US as Europe's Nuclear babysitter.

So perhaps it is true I got it mixed up. I don’t really have time now to dig into that, partly because it doesn’t change my OG point. UK doesn’t have a domestic nuclear deterrent. Whether it’s the warheads or the missiles that are on loan and need foreign permission to be used, the UK can’t fire when it wants to.

"Those people", sadly, inhabit a universe at arms length from anyone's reality.

And they seem determined to drag what's left of Canada into the abyss with them.

The most clear aspect of Canadian Politics besides the Commie PM is that one of the political parties had a man that won the right to represent that party but Vagina-Supremists wanted the woman to run instead even if she didn't win that party, so - like the kind of lying dishonorable man-destroying inHuman viscous Witch that people wonder if they could throw her off a building an get away with to for safety of self and everyone else, ..

.. So, some woman got to stop suck Satan's Strap-on and false accuse him of rape.

Well, such a clear political vomit move you wonder why that lying horror was not dragged out by a mob and burn at the stake in public, as it was clearly vile woman vomit lies.

If women can have our babies tortured to death unborn on a whim, then dust to anyone that support her murder, but will not allow such a witch burned in public.

He is pressured to step down - some Witch takes his place (if she were not part of the false witness she would not have accepted,) but Stone Her to Death! was not screamed across the country.

If a supposed rape victim does not come forward with in 6 months and later accuses, she should be assumed a life-destroying Witch and .. what you think? Dragged in public while chained together with all the older adults in her blood-line .. erase that bloodline in their screaming? Perhaps?

Yea, Canada, your politics needs a group of 10-gauge shotgun erasers to clean house, then burn your fed. gov. down, perhaps.

Looks like she upped her Adderall/cocaine dosage a notch.

Rikard's avatar

But in whose are they at the moment, is what counts.

And what the lend-leaser is willing to pay to get them back.

Dave's avatar

True, but without maintenance (techs, spare parts), they become useless except for dirty bombs.

Rikard's avatar

Very true.

I have no clue if the UK of today has the ability to maintain/create nuclear weapons of their own.

I'm only qualified to speculate on it, so to speak, but as I mentioned to Kertch (I think it was Kertch?) over at Eugyppius' the other day, if early 1970s India could manage it, how hard is it really?

I think the delivery system is the bigger issue rather than the actual warheads, but as I said, I'm only qualified to speculate.

On the third hand, the idea of an *EU-nuclear weapon programme* has been broached on the quiet - to me, that seems /more/ dangerous than doing without nuclear weapons, given the typical levels of competence displayed whenever the Union does something as a whole.

John Carter's avatar

India managed it because Canada sold them a nuclear reactor. If they'd had to build a nuclear program from scratch it would have taken them much longer, I suspect.

Dave's avatar

My understanding is that making them small enough to launch is an issue, e.g. Pakistan has a couple nukes, but I've read they'd need to deliver them via a truck.

India can probably launch a few, but I doubt they have MIRV dial-a-yield weapons.

Rikard's avatar

Yeah, that'd be my guess too, and handing a primed warhead over to suicide bombers with instructions to go blow it and themselves up at the target, well there's so much inbuilt fail in that idea so it's moot too.

The Americans used to have this idea of a nuclear bazooka. Range was shorter than the blast radius, is what I've seen claimed about it.

Attila the Unpleasant's avatar

Sounds like a weapon designed for Japanese soldiers. :)

Steven Work's avatar

Do we have intelligence on israeli nuke sizes or development of missile systems, or secrete USA donations?

I suspect that they shipped and trucked them to many major cities throughout world where they sit in a basement or such, ready for false flag, or if they fail to win then set them all off, but more likely the black-mail national leaders.

If you saw any videos of the genociding Gazans that they do, snipers shooting small children in heads, rape-torture prisoners, torture to insanity, .., kill own people to prevent hostage trading, ..

.. do you think such demonic horrors wouldn't plant and set-off nukes?

Would they drink the blood of Christian children, or did I cross a line for those mass murdering psychos, you F-ing .. ? You'll do something about that, sure, while you jerk-off watching them kill 100's with bombs, yes?

Dave's avatar

I think the easiest way for the USA to solve the problem (annex Canada) is this:

1. Encourage and amplify the anti-American sentiment, really get the Canucks whipped up to defend themselves

2. Spread propaganda that the best way to do this is for Canadians to arm themselves

3. Smuggle in weapons by the trainload

4. Switch the propaganda to anti-Canadian government propaganda, play up the corruption, the degeneracy, the hostility they have towards native Canadians (liberal use of NSA recorded conversations, video, and AI will be instrumental here)

5. Declare the Canadian government to have been taken over by a hostile foreign power (China, India, maybe both)

6. Blockade Canada until it's people liberate themselves from their Mandarin-style Vichy stooges

7. Wait six months and enjoy the show of Canadians politely lynching their former rulers en masse

8. Ink a deal where they become non-represented, mostly self-administering territories, with reduced taxes compared to the 50 states to compensate for lack of representation

John Carter's avatar

Brilliant.

I'd add some Green Berets just to be sure though.

Attila the Unpleasant's avatar

They could be fiendish devils and just march in backwards, making the Canadians think they were leaving, at which point they'd go back to doing whatever Canadians do when they're not defending their country and PRESTO! CHANGEO! America's 51st state.

Heh.

Rikard's avatar

That's been the Russian strategy when invasion is off the table, since Peter the Great was Tsar.

It doesn't work well when there's a great cultural-racial divide (Russia-Finland f.e.) or the target nation has great cultural-racial cohesion among its populace.

But if those conditions be absent, it works wonderfully well, though the time-scale is generational.

Dave's avatar

"It doesn't work well when there's a great cultural-racial divide (Russia-Finland f.e.) or the target nation has great cultural-racial cohesion among its populace."

Looks like a bad time to be a traitorous Canadian politician/oligarch then, because Canadians & Americans have much more in common then either would like to admit, and Canada's cultural & racial cohesion is arguably at an all time low...

John Carter's avatar

Canadians are distinct from Americans, but those differences are much less than the internal differences in Canada (French, English) or in the US (New England, Deep South, Texas).

Rikard's avatar

Yeppers. There's a lot of that sentiment here too, among what passes as nationalists in the North.

Fight for Sweden, the real Sweden? You'll get almost 100% affirmative.

Fight for the regime, for the hordes of ungrateful ****skinned migrants, for woke tranny fairy-tale sessions at libraries and so on? About 13% of conscripts move on to actually do the Värnplikt. Värn = Guard, battlement. Plikt = Duty.

The regime has a real problem, and they know it.

And they deeply fear that allowing the lid off of the racism-pot with regards to Russia/Russians, will back-fire: I've seen it online more and more, people asking:

"Why should I hate the Russians? It's not them that's committing close to 10 000 rapes each year. It's not them costing us over 40 000 000 000:- in permanent welfare each year." And so on.

Friend of mine, much better at getting the point across with little verbiage, coined this descriptor:

"It's like they're playing roulette but with a live grenade instead of a ball"

John Carter's avatar

They need to pull the pin on the grenade to defend themselves, it's their only option, but there's only one problem: the grenade hates them.

Pablo's avatar

Finland surrendered after 3 months, update your sources.

Rikard's avatar

Here's a poser for you: /why/ did Finland agree to sue for peace when they did?

And the bonus question: What was the actual Soviet plan, and at what cost did their victory come? Compare it to the cost to Finland.

Bonus question: What is the relative strength of the Baltic 9 today, and Russia, and what was the force-relation between the USSR and Finland in 1941?

You might be graded on your answer.

Pablo's avatar

Because Mannerheim line was broken, Vyborg fell and road to Helsinki open. Duh.

You made a clear statement “It doesn't work well when there's a great cultural-racial divide (Russia-Finland f.e.)” which is pure speculation. It worked fine with Baltic countries.

As for relative strength of Baltic 9 - do you care to find out? What’s your skin in that game, will you be in front line?

It’s a multiple choice with book open.

Gilgamech's avatar

Well in conclusion John, jump up on the side of a tank, hitch up your skirt and wave the Stars and Stripes as the liberators roll north across the border. That’s my genuine recommendation.

The clue that Trump isn’t serious about annexation is that this isn’t the way you go about it, if that’s your goal. Engaging with the Feds is just a waste of time. Trump knows it and is trolling them. If he wants Canada the way to take it is what you pointed out - Alberta. Alberta will come willingly and gladly, like the girl waving her flag on a tank. Then the other provinces can either grovel to join or collapse into irrelevance. The clue is in Trump’s rather odd offer to be the 51st state. Singular. Why not ten states (or thereabouts)? Answer, because he only wants one province. The based one with all the oil. The rest he doesn’t want, so they will need to court him, not the other way around. And he won’t wait for a Colour Revolution. That’s a pussy spook move. The man will just *make a deal*. And if the Canadian Supreme Court or the CAF try to strike the deal down - as you rightly say, who’s got more divisions. (No question mark because it’s not a question.)

Stay free, brother.

John Carter's avatar

One doesn't wait for a color revolution. One makes it happen. That's what makes it distinct from an actual revolution.

Patriotism is a tricky thing. It can give the Shitlibs a huge bounce in the polls just as they were headed for the morgue. Or it can move a man who knows and hates everything the Laurentian branch of globohomo stands for, to reach for his guns and point them south across his fence line. I’m adding another anecdotal instance to yours, John.

I have yet to have this conversation with the man I know:

So you’d put your life on the line for those pukes in Ottawa and Toronto who openly despise you? To protect them from the reckoning they’ve got coming? To preserve the woke communist gravy train they sit at the apex of? So they can keep living like kings on the profits of thinking up new ways of calling you a Neanderthal? While you work with your hands to grow the food they eat and build the houses they live in that you can’t possibly afford? You’re going to die in a Predator drone strike holding your 75 year old (Canada-legal) “assault weapon” to shield these globohomo pukes *with your body* from their debt that’s come due because for their whole lives they *fucked around*, at the personal expense of you and all your loved ones, and now (but for your protection), they’re gonna *find out*?

Steven Work's avatar

You forgot the bank account lock-out.

If you post (or perhaps say) anything that someone decides is offensive than the lawfare you (the punishment is in the procedure) so you 2nd mortgage your home and property, and the group of feminist mind-rapers sentence you to castration, naked belly crawl up to the offended person and lick their boots on National TV, and then you formally admit you are like dog-crap and apologize to the offended, and world.

When your child or children are groomed by pedo-women teachers to want sexually mutilation starting with sterilizing hormone disrupters, and change their names to porn stars the groomer suggest, and you still call them by their real names and don't allow them to dress for their delusion .. that Canadian government takes them away, fills them with mind-twisting drugs and sterilization doses of hormones. You get 2 hours to visit and cry for them, and their likely suicide at 19. Will they excuse your knifing to death that Judge? ..

And all that covid tyrannical rules. Forced Satanic poison-injections. Lock-down rules that if you violate they isolate you in a cement cell where you pee in center at drain and poo in bucket. Or whatever whim the guards torture with day-by-day.

They treat you special like President Trump. They lie and damage your reputation and then when you try to defend yourself social-media censor you, and the corp-gov media keeps lying and saying it must be true because you are not denying it.

As an American, I wouldn't want any part of Canada except the Western provinces with oil and gas...and I certainly wouldn't give Canadians the right to vote in American elections...

As to Russia in the Ukraine, it's actually gone pretty well...the price of oil is well up, the professional Russian army hasn't suffered that many casualties, most of the KIA being PMCs and territorial troops...It has been drastically modernized, including become the world leader in EW and drone warfare, as well as hypersonic missiles....all while draining NATO's weapon stocks...Politically, it has strenghted and become the leader of BRICS....It has also become a much closer ally of China...a blunder by the US government...

My assessment of Ukraine as well. It is too bad all of the proxy war pushers who wanted to see what Russia had and could do with it then watch its resources be depleted did not understand thar was a two way street. Oopsies.

Same observations here. Just imagine the 2 new senators from the 51st state - an Indian and Justin. No... just no, please.

Tommy Hill's avatar

I wonder if the globalist countries will not just collapse under the strain of immigrants. In Britain the Muslims are very close to a tipping point in vote power. When they stop voting labour and switch to there own, interesting things may happen. As for the youth who will fight, all they've ever known is the liberal world order, this is their world.

Rikard's avatar

We're a little further ahead when it comes to moslems and politics than the UK (Sweden), and what's happened is that as soon as the moslems try to go it their own, as a political party, two hurdles always tumbles them right out the gate:

Islam according to which school?

and

Racial divides.

They try, then they have a great bloody row over which school of islamic jurisprudence is the one true one, and then you get situations where all the arabs in the party vote for the arab, all the turks for the turk and so on, and if the arabs lose they take their ball and go home.

I don't remember which pith-helmeted white man it was that remarked that the peoples from the near-Orient can only really keep peace either when fighting European invaders, or when ruled by European occupying forces, but it seems to still bear out.

John Carter's avatar

The other thing is that, once the Muslims form their own party, the dominant left wing party loses the client group that propped it up, while at the same time the native population finds that it is much less concerned about racism than it used to be, leading to growth of the nativist party.

Steven Work's avatar

To answer a posted question on StackExchange about Islam law, women's testimony value I found it very sensible. From women's full value and men's none (for women's issues) to women's none and men's full value.

Considering the studies that reflect Western women's untruthfulness; Parental Fraud of 1/3, False-Rape Accusations over 40%, if we had to set for a single value this year I would suggest 1/10 men's value. Next year re-due studies and when and if they stop being lying whores with pool-man and stop false accusing our sons and brothers to jail, maybe 3/20 of man's testimonial value.

Can not use Islams values for women because in their societies they may stone to death crimes that our Sick cnt-courts reward them for .. stoning courts and law-makers would have to be first step, and at the foot of a hanging rope the lawmakers would pass a Public Pain and Shame punishment for any lies, gossip, broken promises, ... on next Saturday she taken to public park and secure to an anchor and a collar secured to her neck and set the Taser machine for length of sentence, and watch her scream and soil herself for lying.

Same for guys. When 15 or older you pay the wages of sin and be shamed.

OK, I agree. I should’ve used the past tense, because Canada is in fact already done as a nation: it’s not happening - it has happened.

I had to look up the meaning of Anschluss - Austria, 1938, annexation into Germany or generally a joinder, connection, unification, political union. Thanks for that, I love a new word.

This is so good!! The only thing I take very slight umbrage with is describing Mark Carney as charismatic. His public speaking is abysmal; his French is worse. He is accustomed to being in charge of a boardroom so when even supportive "journalists" from the Canadian Mockingbird Media ask very obvious questions, Carney gets huffy and refuses to answer.

John Carter's avatar

I dunno. I think he's much more charismatic than Poilievre, who comes across as the annoying kid in the back of the class trying to score points on teacher. Carney comes across as the valedictorian.

fiendish_librarian's avatar

Yes, he is *very* thin-skinned, isn't he? There's a current of vulnerability in this man, and a far greater politician than Poilievre would have been able to hone in on it. Instead it's just his Random Slogan Generator trying to upload a new software patch.

John Carter's avatar

Rikard's avatar

Canada is the front of the Globalist putsh-back against the Trump. If it really gains traction, one of the tell-tale signs (since we really can't trust graphs on economy all that much) will be Musk starting to discreetly and politely distance himself from the Trump, possibly even from the Vance.

---

"Carney outflanked Poilievre from the right yet again, this time on a cultural issue." Well obviously, he said, all-knowingly. If one wants to move to the left, one must start on the right. Be the same as you opponent is trying to seem like, only more so - so much more so that your opponent objects to you, thereby essentially and in public opposing himself. Like this:

P is pro controlled migration, by which P means 100k/annum with zero background checks, having to be self-supporting, et c. Which isn't brought up because P's PR-agents ensure the media and the discourse is laser-focused on the sound-bites about "controlled migration".

Enter S, who starts by commending P on being for control(led migration). S then follows it up by listing concrete examples of what kind of control is needed, right now, but is severly lacking. ID checks. Deporting criminals. Demands for being self-supporting as a condition for residency. Et c.

P will now be challenged if P supports this, if this is what P means with "controlled migration". It isn't, and everyone knows it. P instead now has to oppose S, thus coming across as a turn-skin and a liar.

(This is by the by largely what the Trump JR has done, but in his much more American way.)

---

The return of nationalism is logical. And fake and gay. It's not real nationalism. The last thing the Machine wants to see is people like you or me in positions of real power. They want the ones that have grown up from 1990 to today, the ones who for real thinks that the State equals the nation equals the people, and that being a citizen is the same as being of the people.

As we call them over here: Plastic Americans, "plastic+noun" being a Swedish idiomatic construction denoting that something is fake and gay. Kind of how some mechanics and engineers call the sludge-metals used to make cheap-o tools for "Chinesium".

Real nationalism is only possible when nation and people are one, and the only way to be of a people is to be born to it. And that's 19th century-stuff, and the stuff of real heads-on-pikes and purges-a-go-go revolutions. That's the last thing the Globo-Homogenisation Machine wants. Plus, the reason they assault the US financially now?

A very real fear that people will start to recall that up until the 1950s or so, "American" in the minds of everyone equaled White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. W.A.S.P. (No, not the band.) And if that gains traction, the USA - the Ur-home-base of the GloboHomo crap ideology - might fall apart for real, Austria-Hungary style. Long shot, and no-one wants that, not even most whites who'd have everything to gain from it and nothing to lose.

Because being called "racist" if you're designated white, is simply the worst. Better toe the line, white boy, or your swarthy fellow travelers might chastise you. Ohh, how their words hurt, but what's hurts even more? All your family, your friends, your people decrying you as WrongBadEvil and gladly sacrificing you so that they might escape the Racial Inquisition's ire.

After all, it's only white peoples that cannot have homelands, traditions, culture, or a future. That'd be racist.

The lesson to learn from Gaius Julius is?

John Carter's avatar

Chinesium made me lol.

Obviously whatever nationalism they encourage will be entirely fake and extremely gay. Yet it is not only Canada that is doing this. Seems similar in much of Europe. Like a memo went out.

Btw, the W in WASP originally meant "wealthy". The term referred to the Eastern blue-blood aristocracy.

Rikard's avatar

I can't claim to have invented Chinesium: used to watch the Youtube-channel of a German engineer building fun stuff (like a repeating-crossbow powered by rubber bands capable of firing lead pencils through ½" MDF-boards). Chinesium was his term for tools and such made in China, since they inevitably broke under any real strain.

I do think that a real memo went out among the WEF/WTF-aligned politruks. Too much similarity, and at the same time instead of over time. Much like how Covid was no big deal, and vaccines not needed for it, until after Biden took office.

Over here, our military is now running NBC-drills and are building up ability to handle such weapons.

The big topic this week is the possibility of US-made backdoors in any US-made equipment. The reason for this is to pile on the arguments for debt-financed re-industrialising and military build-up.

A local tell-tale sign of change was that our minister for environmental issues (Liberal*, migrant) declined to attend the briefing from the work-group on such issues, declined their advice and basically waved the issue of "climate change" away with: "We must focus in being self-reliant when it comes to the industry needed for modern society".

That's quite a one-eighty, rhetorically speaking.

*I'm sure you know but it bears repeating, that European Liberal parties are closest politically to US neo-cons of the Bush-variety, excepting the religious aspects.
