Huh?

You seem to be talking about a USA social phenomenon that happened in USA?

You are gravely misunderstanding what is currently happening. Now that the depths of American treachery and bloodthirst have been laid bare, the mood in Canada is similar to January 2022 Ukraine.

Corporations cashing in on the current thing is hardly something limited to the US.

I don't want to trivialize Trump's actions, but you're doing the opposite by hyperbolizing it. Get a grip. 25% tariffs is nowhere close to getting literally invaded.

Don't take my word for it.

The explicit stated goal of the USA government is to invade Canada.

In January 2022, Ukraine hadn't yet suffered a full scale invasion.

Maybe you need to read what you respond to more carefully? Or brush up on recent history. You seem very confused either way.

Putin spent a long time saber rattling before he invaded Ukraine. I guess they shouldn't have been concerned back then because nothing horrible started happening yet?
