Something's been bothering me about what's going on in #Alberta #Canada, specifically the #separatist BS.
This is starting to feel like the 'set up' for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Russia claimed they were taking #Crimea and eastern #Ukraine to protect 'ethnic Russians'.
It feels like #tRump dropping hints about military action to make Canada the #51st state, plus Premier Smith's talk of separation, is just set up for the US to roll into #Albertastan to 'protect' locals from Evil Canada.

Things are getting dicey now as #Trump again brought up making #Canada the #51st state.
Prime Minister #MarkCarney was VERY FIRM & VERY CLEAR it will NEVER HAPPEN.
Then Trump claimed he was approaching #Carney in a friendlier manner than other leaders. “We had another little blow up,” Trump said, referring to his meeting w/ President Volodymyr #Zelensky of #Ukraine in the Oval Office. Trump said this meeting was different & they were being “friendly.”

@hanspetermeyer @Flipboard @hnom @hockey Umm, #Ontario isn’t the #51st state, yet.

The U.S. Threat Looming Over Canada / From the US media : The Atlantic
« Donald #Trump’s pointless and malicious trade war has been, by his own account, a prelude to softening up Canada economically so that it can be appropriated as the #51st state.(...) The definitive end of the status quo came with the president’s casual comment that he would sell only deliberately downgraded F-47s to allies who purchased American military hardware » #CdnPoli #Cdn

#Russia's #51st #GRAU Arsenal continued to burn overnight, with local residents reporting numerous secondary detonations as the munitions stored onsite continued to cook off.

2/2 "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is perhaps unfamiliar with the Battle of Chateaugay. The last three letters are, after all, gay, and as such, the battle has doubtless been expunged from Defense Department websites and databases, meeting the same fate as the Enola Gay."

... and this is one of thousands things that make Canada (and similar allies) different from USA (and not the #51st state). Besides, TikTok is largely a troian, but so are Meta's/X.com apps (https://mastodon.social/@eff/113844921122999712)? Instead of totally banning social media apps, what about taxing them higher+educating people of the risks and how to defend themselves? Not to mention - hey, we have Mastodon which is decentralized, community driven, not-for-profit... and does not scans your mobile phone/sells data.

#51st / Israel is ripe for an hostile takeover
An hilarious column written by Avi Bar-Eli, which I’m clearly not going to be doing any justice with, but the gist is: the war exposed everything that’s rotten in Israel and “activist investors” are smelling blood. For Israel, a hostile takeover might not be such a bad option.
A dysfunctional, divided #Israel has “corporate raiders” circling, sensing a ripe opportunity for a hostile takeover. Managers scramble for poison pills and golden parachutes, sowing internal chaos to put off the inevitable.
Some bold directors consider a stunning alternative: negotiating annexation as the 51st U.S. state. Swallowing their pride and sovereignty could inject new blood, capital and governance before Israel asset-strips itself. It's an agonizing dilemma between certain decline and uncertain rebirth under foreign control.
With no turnaround plan in sight, selling out to the highest bidder increasingly tempts beleaguered shareholders. While unconventional, full acquisition by a larger, stronger entity could salvage their investment - if not their independence. Israel must now decide whether hostile submission beats corporate death.
