Canada

If you want peace, prepare for war.

I'm not being facetious and I'm not joking, and I don't think he is either.

Not guns?

Those photos of WMDs? They were balls.

Trump right now.

Can we just FFW to the end? Pretty please?

He's so far outside the box predictions don't work anymore. But food for thought; Americans associate drugs with Mexico far more than any other country. So this would be one hell of a head whip for the general public. Americans also still consider Canada one of our closest friends on the global stage. Many families in the North span the border. For that fact alone there's a very good chance that if he attacks Canada we'd shut this country down with protests and strikes.

On a rational predictable level he's already declared cartels to be terrorists and Venezuela to be a terrorist state. This is very likely another tool to pressure the Mexican government.

That said, I wouldn't trust us right now. We're like that friend who took too much cocaine and is hiding in the closet with a gun. Unpredictable and dangerous.

In the read out from the PCC meeting on Friday, it says the participating agencies “recognize the need for the United States to take strong action to counter this devastating situation, but these bureaus share significant policy concerns with the Executive Order as drafted.”

Those concerns include the fact that the EO “cites a statute that does not entail an authority to ‘designate’ substances as WMD,” concerns about “negative effects on entities that legitimately handle, ship, and deliver opioids for pharmaceutical purposes,” and acknowledges that “fentanyl can be treated as a chemical weapon when it is developed or used as a weapon…which risks muddying clearly defined roles and responsibilities between the counternarcotics, counterproliferation, and arms control communities.”

Trump has blown by just blurring the lines since he was sworn in. He's wiping them out completely.

I agree that this is just so he has reason to continue his attacks, I am guessing it will be aimed at Mexico but Canada needs to be ready.

Someone call Hans Blix, we gotta find them WMDs in Canada. Funny if they dont find any.

It’s interesting that this 2019 article shows this idea isn’t a new one - https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/21/politics/dhs-fentanyl-wmd/index.html

The fact that they were considering back then has me wondering if this apparently leaked draft EO might have actual substance to it, which is disturbing to say the least.

First as tragedy, then as farce

Yes, www.thehandbasket.co seems like a reputable, reliable source. /s

If this goes forward, we have to pay close atention. This certainly is looking for two goals, short and long term. Short is Canada and Mexico. Long term is China

this will stop it, of course! I declare it done!!!!!!

I used to order a powered reascearch chemical dmt into the states legally. There are no laws banning it. But i wont anymore since theres no telling what could happen now. Any white powered could land me into so much trouble.
