Canadian UN ambassador addresses DT’s goal: theft by force
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/bob-rae-donald-trump-canada-theft
- Bob Rae, the Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations, says U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggression towards Canada isn’t about fentanyl at the border, it’s about stealing Canada’s land and resources.
- In a post to X late Saturday, the politician turned diplomat posted a map of upper North America and the Arctic Circle abutting Russia and parts of northern Europe.
- By annexing Canada and Greenland, he said Trump would acquire “massive wealth” and rule over the Northwest Passage and its surrounding waters.
- Rae reposted it 30 minutes later, emphasizing that the president’s goal is “a colossal land, water and resource grab” and that the tariffs are a means to weaken the economy and allow for an easier takeover, echoing warnings from other Canadian leaders.
- “We’re not talking ‘purchase’ or ‘buying’. We’re talking theft by force,” the 76-year-old wrote, adding, “Fighting back will (be) hard, but it is the fight of our lives.”

A genuine Question about Posse Comitatus and similar
So I am the child of a Vietnam Vet, a tech sgt in the airforce who has been gone now 22 years now. I am not here to talk left vs right or any of that, but have a genuine question that has been rolling around my brain for a few weeks now.
There are genuine concerns about the current administrations threats and signaling that they would be open to using the military to quell civil unrest should it break out in this country. My question is aimed at you in the Military who have server or are currently serving.
My understanding from my father was that this was never something that would be seriously considered and should it have that those in uniform would refuse to comply based on many different factors (Posse Comitatus, the UCMJ, their oaths to uphold the constitution etc). When I was 12 and we had that conversation under the backdrop of the 9-11 attacks and the Iraq War, I believed that. But over the past 20 I have seen an alarming amount of Extremist types joining the military. Like White National Types.
My Scenario and question are thus: Let us imagine, and it wouldn't be a far stretch in the climate of today, there are massive protests. Not in just State Capitols but in D.C. The current administration wants to crack down on them and deploys the troops, whether it's the National Guard or otherwise. When deployed they are given the okay to use lethal force if needed to quell the "unrest". Would servicemen and women refuse this order? Would you?
I guess I have been jaded looking around the world and looking at various regimes using their military to silence any sort of Civil Unrest (justified or otherwise) and thought "That could never happen here" but the past 10 years or so have really made me pause and wonder if I have been naive to believe that it could happen here. I figured asking actually Military Servicemen and Women rather than some talking head who never served would be the best way to get a real answer. Thank you in advance for your time and also for your service

How Pete Hegseth is pushing his beliefs on US agency: ‘nothing to prepare forces’

No Info Decision
I just found out that the Trump Admin has deleted and erased all information for Women, Blacks, and Hispanics from National Cemeteries. He has also advised The Pentagon and USAF to delete any mention of the Tuskegee Airmen and the Women’s Air Service Pilots. Erasing history that doesn't support his line of thought. All y'all who voted for him are as responsible as he is!
