Yes. Please. Please sir... an egg....

How long before the US pulls out of Five Eyes and we stop sharing intelligence with our closest allies?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

Would you trust any US itelligence atm?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm not going to tell people how to eat, but I will point out that if there was a time you should try plant based diets, that time is now.

The EU and Canada see more doors opening up to counter the idiots running the USA into the ground. The Canadians stopped purchasing US alcoholic beverages.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

BC just stopped purchasing alcohol from Red states which is hilarious

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

Ontario alone purchases $1B in American liquor per year. While in the big scheme of things it's peanuts, it is $1B less in American distiller's pockets.

And Ontario isn't just targeting red states in the ban.

US citizens just now learning how quickly decades of mutual trust and diplomacy can evaporate if you unleash a sociopathic narcissist on your allies for no reason.

Putin's long plan is coming together magnificently. He started with just one useful idiot, expanded to the whole Republican party and a third of the U.S. population.

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 days ago

Until EU gets Central and South America as strong allies, and probably eventually Japan, this making the much closer rival stronger.

Would be hilarious if it happened.

[–] nope@jlai.lu 54 points 3 days ago (10 children)

He's gonna come for Europe next, just watch abd see

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago (13 children)

Alienate all your allies speedrun

Jokes aside, why? There literally is no good reason to piss of people that like you and are willing to work with you

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Destroy the economy, collapse any remaining faith in democracy, sell the nation to the highest bidder.

It's going to be the biggest and most destructive form of disaster capitalism we've ever seen, mainly because they are the very people who are engineering the disaster in the first place.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Again, that is the thing I don't understand. They are already filthy rich. Why crash and burn everything? Wouldn't it be better to just continue making boatloads of money?

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I see you don't understand. They always need MORE.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

They are already getting more. They want more more.

It was great to be so close to USA on the map, until it wasn't.

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 19 points 3 days ago

Doesn't Mexico have a saying like "So far from God and so close to the United States"?

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.

  • Pierre Trudeau

Now the elephant isn't friendly anymore.

[–] JohnCorky@lemmings.world 16 points 3 days ago

How do you think we feel? We ARE the USA.

...and 70M+ of our own voting dipshits shot our own foot!

Take us in. We have maple syrup.

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Come join us! We have wine and baguettes, I'm sure we can make it work.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

No joke, if you take a piece of baguette and soak it maple syrup, you will get an amazing little desert. There is probably some teachable moment there, I don't know

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don’t fucking give them eggs, the ones left who care will be satiated because they got cheaper, promise fulfilled, and the fascism will accelerate.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They offering eggs to Canada.

What? Did you think anybody bothers to talk with the US right now?

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 3 days ago

I dunno with US egg prices so high, I thought it was a good way for the EU troll the US.

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

Can't wait for the glorious clusterfuck of a CA-EU-UK-CN-JP trade aliance. Even Russia would be neutered, possibly NK too because both ultimately depend on China. If SK follows Japan, there won't be an NK anymore. Putin's regime will collapse as his wartime economy implodes, while EU gets it's cheap gas back plus cheap Chinese EVs too smoothly transition.

EU could ensure it's own security through independence from the very nation it needed to protect it (US). This would also basically completely contain Trump too.

Rip up the US copyright/patent laws and stimulate the economy, cut off support for US vassals like Israel, cut the US off from Five Eyes, and if they do so much as peep, no more cheap shit and we put nukes in Canada.

Polish cavalrymen riding alongside English royal guards rattling sabers of glorious Chinese steel.

Daily Military exercises off the coast of Taiwan, but to the south-east of Taiwan :)))

Probably hopium though. EU itself will splinter before long.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

This is pretty optimistic.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Have you noticed that since Trump declared he'll invade the EU, China's foreign policy has turned a lot against Russia?

Wait until the US MIC starts to feel the effects and I am uncertain which way they will lean to protect their interests.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Look at this lottery winner out here passing out eggs.

[–] Manmoth@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

I give cartons of eggs away for free at church. 🇺🇲🐔
