Nathanyahu, who Human Rights organization says is carrying out mass murders and ethnic cleansings of Palestinians with the blessing of Donald Trump.
And then there is Russia’s Putin, who has masterfully penetrated the US government by implanting his spies everywhere in the organization.
Seriously, why is South Korea even allying with the US when we don’t share their undemocratic, inhuman values? Get them out of Korea, please. I don’t want to see these MAGAS in Korea.

Key Takeaways: President Trump’s Strategy with Canada and Mexico
President Trump is preparing to restructure the U.S. trade relationship with Canada and Mexico, opting to abandon the current trilateral USMCA framework in favor of two distinct bilateral agreements. This shift reflects a fundamental recognition that Canada and Mexico have diverging economic models and strategic dependencies. Trump’s intent is to bring each country into a new arrangement where U.S. leverage—rooted in defense commitments for Canada and border control for Mexico—can be applied more directly and effectively.
In Canada’s case, the situation is particularly precarious. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reportedly told Trump that Canada simply does not have the industrial capacity or fiscal space to meet demands for reciprocal trade, military spending, or fair-market practices. After decades of prioritizing environmental policies over industrial development, Canada now functions more as an “assembly economy,” relying heavily on Chinese imports to produce goods for export to the United States. This dependency makes Canada highly vulnerable to any U.S. action targeting Chinese trade, such as tariffs or quotas.
Trump has made it clear that if Canada cannot support its own defense, cannot meet NATO obligations, and cannot participate in fair trade, then it must either radically reform—or consider integration with the U.S. in a more permanent way. His comments about Canada becoming the 51st state, while shocking to some, are rhetorically clever. They underscore how thoroughly Canada’s current system relies on American economic and military support, while inviting Canadians to question whether sovereignty without self-sufficiency is viable.
Leverage over Canada and Mexico
Trump holds considerable leverage over both countries but in very different ways. With Canada, the U.S. can apply pressure by threatening to reintroduce steep tariffs, especially on steel, aluminum, and Chinese-linked products. Furthermore, Trump’s emphasis on NATO spending highlights Canada’s military shortfalls—its defense spending lags far behind the 2% GDP benchmark, and Trudeau admitted that Canada lacks the capacity to change that.
In contrast, Trump’s leverage over Mexico centers on immigration and border security. These issues directly impact U.S. domestic policy and offer a distinct set of tools for negotiation, including tariffs on Mexican goods and control over cross-border logistics. By decoupling the two relationships, Trump aims to maximize the strategic pressure unique to each partner.
Why the “51st State” Comment Matters
Trump’s repeated reference to Canada as a “51st state” is more than a provocative jab—it’s a strategic rhetorical device. It frames the conversation not around nationalism or pride, but around functional dependency. If a nation cannot defend itself, cannot trade fairly, and cannot withstand the same rules it imposes on others, is it truly independent? By posing this as a practical rather than ideological question, Trump redirects the narrative from confrontation to calculation.
Additionally, the remark plays well with populist audiences who resent perceived unfairness in international agreements. It positions the U.S. as a benefactor being taken advantage of—unless decisive changes are made. This creates pressure not only on Canadian leadership but also on American lawmakers who must soon decide whether to back Trump’s aggressive trade reforms or preserve the status quo.
Some people said only experts would understand election fraud.
But this video proves otherwise — even a cat can spot the rigging.
Ballot boxes appearing out of nowhere.
Voting numbers that defy math and logic.
Ballots without folds, identical marks, and questionable printing.
And one very smart cat who says: “This doesn’t look right.”

It’s not.
The fraud is real. The evidence is clear.

Very amusing piece, “Preston Tucker”. Trump’s strategy is no strategy; it’s make it up as he goes, whatever he feels on a good or bad day.
It’s not very smart to be so arrogant to brag about your power, bully other countries with tariffs, and be hated by 7.5 billion people around the world (a quote from Warren Buffett). If you didn’t get the news yet, Canada has already said, bye bye USA, you’re no longer allies, and no longer needed even as a trade partner.
Canada will have to “dramatically reduce” its reliance on the United States as the two countries’ relationship darkens, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned on Thursday, adding that the old bilateral relationship was “over.”
After holding a cabinet meeting to discuss Canada’s response to US President Donald Trump’s tarrif threats, Carney told reporters in Ottawa that he foresaw the coming of a “fundamentally different relationship” between the two countries.
“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,” he said.
“It’s clear the US is no longer a reliable partner. It is possible that with comprehensive negotiations, we could reestablish an element of confidence but there will be no going backwards,” the Canadian leader said, adding that future governments would have to grapple with the same changed dynamic.
The US is the biggest source of preventable diseases like the measles, due to its dismantling of immunization programs.
So now, other countries like South Korea have to suffer for it. However, unlike the United States, South Korea has a stringent immunization program against preventable childhood diseases.
Trump to honor himself and celebrate his birthday by holding a military parade, spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. LOL. Like I said, the US is a North Korea light – isolationist, hostile, threatening other countries with invasions, building gulags, personality cultism, one-man rule, Juche, maglomanical.
“US is the biggest source of preventable diseases like the measles, due to its dismantling of immunization programs.”
There is no “dismantling of immunization programs” (good grief is anything you claim true? this isn’t even a casual relationship with half truth, it’s a bold lie easily disputed).

You don’t even know what you’re talking about. All that hoarding due to the fear of the inevitable shortages of basic goods, before the supply line stops to a screeching halt, temporarily kept you out of recession. It’s now starting, as the last ships from Asia have now arrived. After that, no more supplies to supply your retailers, and your small industries. Already, you’re seeing a lot of job losses by truckers and port workers. That’s just a start. How many businesses rely on parts and materials from China to produce your own goods? Ya, good luck with that. Now sit down and be quiet!

Korea Thing’s link about how America is going to have nothing but mass death relied the expert opinion of…
“I definitely saw more deaths than one human would normally see. I saw mothers and sons pass away, husbands and wives pass away, young mothers who never got to hold their babies,” Giles said, recalling her experience as an ICU nurse during COVID and witnessing the severe consequences of vaccine hesitancy.”
I thought it was 2020 again.
Does anybody still believe this anymore?
They don’t even try to hide that healthy people don’t die of covid. If you don’t have two… TWO… comorbidites, you are safe.
The temptation is to ask exactly how many young mothers never got to hold their babies… but there is no answer.
Giles is just lying.
As for Kennedy, the media lies and then everyone forms opinions based on the lies.
Everone involved takes money from Big Pharma.
He is not “anti-vaccine” in principle… Kennedy has stated many times that he supports safe vaccines and vaccination in general.
However, he believes that:
Many vaccines are not adequately tested, particularly in children. We saw this with the covid vaccine doing permanent heart damage to a demographic with zero covid deaths.
Some vaccines carry unacceptable risks relative to their benefits. Big Pharma and the government have conspired to greatly increase the number of (taxpayer-funded) required vaccines… 50 to 72 injections by the age of 18. We are now requiring vaccines for diseases that pose little risk. But the side effects are tangible. Flu and covid for children would be good examples.
The CDC and FDA have conflicts of interest due to ties with pharmaceutical companies. Nobody even denies the clearly documented revolving door between government and industry.
The whole vaccine-autism stuff. A lot of reasons why this could be false… except there are some correlations that shouldn’t be ignored. This needs some clear, honest, and unbiased research.
If you look at his beliefs, they are neither unreasonable nor wrong.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s declaration that the longstanding Canada–U.S. relationship is “over” marks a dramatic rhetorical shift, but not necessarily a strategic one. While political posturing during times of tension is not unusual, it is important to clarify the fundamentals: Canada remains profoundly reliant on the United States economically, militarily, and logistically—while the United States, though engaged, is far less dependent in return.
The U.S. is Canada’s largest trading partner by a wide margin, absorbing over three-quarters of Canadian exports. Entire sectors of Canada’s economy—from energy and automotive parts to agriculture and assembly-based manufacturing—are functionally integrated into U.S. supply chains. Tariff pressure from the U.S. may be politically contentious, but it exposes a structural reality: Canada’s economy has evolved in tandem with American demand, and without access to the U.S. market, growth and stability become significantly more difficult to sustain.
In defense and intelligence, Canada benefits immensely from U.S.-led infrastructure through NORAD, Five Eyes, and NATO. Yet it consistently under-contributes in areas like defense spending, ranking near the bottom among NATO nations. Calls to “reduce reliance” may appeal domestically, but replicating American military protection or economic market access through other partners is not realistic in the short or medium term.
Conversely, while the U.S. values its partnership with Canada, it is not strategically dependent on it. U.S. energy security, manufacturing capacity, and market strength are diversified across allies and domestic sources. Even in areas of close cooperation, the leverage lies overwhelmingly with Washington.
Carney is right that the bilateral dynamic is shifting—but the burden of adjustment will fall disproportionately on Canada. Future Canadian governments may explore diversification, but few if any alternatives can match the access, stability, and opportunity that partnership with the United States provides. In that light, the U.S. has every reason to pursue fair, reciprocal trade—not out of hostility, but because the asymmetry has grown too stark to ignore.

Canada’s recent exploration of South Korean military equipment, including submarines and self-propelled artillery, reflects an effort to diversify defense partnerships amid tensions with the United States. South Korea’s defense industry offers advanced, cost-effective solutions suitable for regional conflicts.
However, for strategic challenges like Arctic sovereignty and potential confrontations with major powers, reliance on U.S. military support remains critical.
South Korea has emerged as a significant defense exporter, providing modern equipment such as the K9 Thunder self-propelled howitzer and K2 Black Panther main battle tank. These systems are well-suited for conventional warfare scenarios and have been adopted by several countries. Canada’s consideration of South Korean submarines aims to replace its aging Victoria-class fleet, enhancing under-ice operational capabilities.
Despite these advancements, South Korea’s defense industry often incorporates U.S.-made components, such as engines and avionics, which are subject to U.S. export controls. This dependency could limit Canada’s autonomy in deploying and maintaining such equipment. Furthermore, the logistical and operational support provided by the U.S., including intelligence sharing and integrated defense systems, is unparalleled.
Canada’s strategic interests, particularly in the Arctic, necessitate capabilities that match those of potential adversaries like Russia. The U.S. offers advanced technologies, such as the F-35 fighter jet, which provide superior performance and integration with NATO forces. While South Korean equipment is commendable, it may not suffice for high-intensity conflicts requiring cutting-edge technology and extensive support infrastructure.
In conclusion, while diversifying defense partnerships can offer benefits, Canada’s national security, especially concerning Arctic sovereignty and alliance commitments, is best served by maintaining strong defense ties with the United States. Balancing procurement strategies to include both cost-effective solutions and high-end capabilities will ensure readiness across the spectrum of potential military engagements.

The U.S. offers advanced technologies, such as the F-35 fighter jet, which provide superior performance and integration with NATO forces. While South Korean equipment is commendable, it may not suffice for high-intensity conflicts requiring cutting-edge technology and extensive support infrastructure.
In conclusion, while diversifying defense partnerships can offer benefits, Canada’s national security, especially concerning Arctic sovereignty and alliance commitments, is best served by maintaining strong defense ties with the United States. Balancing procurement strategies to include both cost-effective solutions and high-end capabilities will ensure readiness across the spectrum of potential military engagements.
