The civic commons has devolved due to capture by a powerful few leading to over heated rhetoric (don't push my buttons).

We are in big trouble.

"It accelerates the slide from a mostly rules-based world to one of competing spheres of influence, to be determined by armed might and the readiness to use it."

This is a dangerous and irresponsible response.

Cheering the illegal abduction of a foreign head of state and celebrating U.S. control over another country is wrong.

Canada cannot pick & choose when international law applies. If the rules only matter when it’s convenient, they don’t protect anyone

Stop calling it war. These are terrorist attacks being committed by the US government. Every foreign nation should be lining up sanctions.

Hypothetically - US brings up some whatever charges against Greenland bc they “threaten US Nat Sec” (which has been stated already). Will NATO defend US or Greenland or do nothing?

See, leaving this without consequences introduces the might makes right world we have never experienced at such scale

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S
Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil.

He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA.

How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way?

The USA is a rogue nation.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada
Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

IMO this is a trial balloon to do likewise to Canada and Greenland.

“We do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores,” Rodriguez said. “We demand proof of life.”

According to the article, the complaints are running through France’s digital affairs office — no Canadian equivalent — involving complaints from their Industry, AI and equity ministers. In Canada the first two are AI cheerleaders, and Carney’s cut the Women and Gender Equality ministry.
Not surprised Europe is first. Hoping Canada will follow: French authorities will investigate the proliferation of sexually explicit deepfakes generated by artificial intelligence platform Grok on X, the Paris prosecutor's office told Politico. www.politico.eu/article/fran...
