The information I have seen leads me to believe that something really fucking bad is about to happen, and WW3 is about to kick off for real.

  • Canada and the US are still far apart on any "deal" that would see the tariffs go away, and Canadians likely are never going back even if the relationship thawed politically.

  • Trump renamed the "Department of Defense", to the "Department of War"

  • Trump is currently sending troops to Portland. (I believe I read it was close to 1,800. Please correct me if wrong)

  • Days later, Trump starts talking 51st state bullshit again.

  • Let us not forget that Putin and Trump are friends, and any issues between them are 100% performative.

Meanwhile:

  • China seems to be readying an attack on Taiwan.

  • China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

  • China is also buying up anything they can to get rights to our rare earth minerals.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia has also been poking around the Arctic.

  • Russia has been invading NATO airspace for some time now, specifically around where the leaders will gathered this week.

  • Reports of Russia potentially opening up a NATO front in the war with Ukraine.

Meanwhile:

  • Russia, China, and North Korea are in an open alliance.

  • North Korea has been pushing some boundaries recently with South Korea.

I am missing a lot because I am just pulling from my memory (As an example the Saudi/Pakistan treaty that I didn't read into enough) but it just looks like this is it. I am not trying to be an alarmist, but I don't see these signals going any other way than directly to Global war.

China has been observed in our Arctic waters.

Categorically false. Everything else you said is propaganda speculation. South Korea, recently, has made closer relations with DPRK.

Anyway, you're probably just very confused, but which side of WW3 do you want Canada to be on? No Trump and Russia will not be on same side.

Just because its been written doesn't mean its remotely true. "Evil China is interested in the Arctic" does not mean China has entered Canadian waters. They don't need to to go to Europe. Nothing ever said about Russia has any motive of truth behind it. The drones BS over Denmark is obvious false flag. The ones that went to Poland came from Ukrainian airspace. The propaganda level is absurdly high, and your mind distorts it even stronger. Reading more cannot cure disinformation if you trust the sources.

But, again, in your mind whether rational or warped, you need to use Canadian forces to amplify US ambitions in ww3, don't you? There is nothing that makes you understand the US side is the threat?
