Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.
Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?
Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.
The only WMD around these parts is Krasnov himself.
This is so he can get wartime and “emergency powers” to stop the midterm elections
Can’t wait to be jailed for being an enemy of the state for fucking anything
If that time comes, remove as many as you can and don’t be a prisoner
I don’t want to be a prisoner but let’s be honest they already know what I have typed. It’s already been green lit to spy on queer folx for being queer.
That’s why you need to get a bottle of fash away and make sure they orally take the product for best results. Emergency use only.
To avoid getting banned, I’m not going to spell it out but you can read between the lines.
Soooo can we declare Purdue Pharmaceutical and the Sackler family terrorists organization under that rhetoric? Asking for a friendly nation.
Nope only applies to illicit fentanyl. Same reason coca cola is the nation’s only legal supplier of cocaine.
Good thing we can chemically test for traces that let us know the manufacturer and often lot.
About time the USA started treating domestic terrorism appropriately…
…oh
Wasn’t there a bust of like 1000 lbs of fentanyl crossing the border from the US into Canada recently?
Sucks their “shithole country” (Trump’s rhetoric, just borrowing it) allows such dangerous weapons of mass destruction to cross the border of a peace keeping nation. Maybe they need NATO sanctions?
I believe there was, but Donny dumbass doesn’t care about that.

Hmm fenyntal as a weapon wasn’t on my list of war crimes to add to the Geneva checklist but we can throw it to the boys to figure out how to make it work and be novel enough to add a section or two to the next version
It was on mine. Open up the drug trade. Work with the Mexican gangs. Flood more than just fentanyl and create a massive drug crisis. Much bigger than the one that exists now. Hard to fight both at the same time and affects your ability to field an army.
Serious question, should I get a gun?
Yeah, probably. There’s lots of good options, but it’s hard to go wrong with a 12-gauge shotgun.
Edit: and as someone else said, prepare for levee en masse. Get started now, grow a garden if you have space, start guerilla gardening if you don’t, teach yourself to forage, can, and fix shit like tears in clothing. For food crops: beans. Beans beans beans beans beans. And potatoes. You’ll hate life, but you’ll be alive to hate it.
Serious answer, you should have gotten a gun years ago. The writing has been plastered on the wall for ages.
The statistics are overwhelmingly clear; the most likely person to be killed by a gun is its owner.
So you’re saying yes?
Yah show me those statistics cause I highly doubt that.

It makes sense, more proximity to a weapon is more potentially deadly encounters. An intruder very rarely enters your house, but you pass the gun safe in your closet every day.
Yeah, but those statistics weren’t taken in a country that is being invaded or going through a civil war
True, and I’d agree on the civil war point.
If you’re prepping for an invasion your best bet would be supporting wartime mobilizations instead of personal defense. Bootstrapping a total war economy is no joke.
Your government can probably handle the logistics of recruiting/arming/training people better than local defense cells. However, even if you’re not enlisted they’ll still need people to work the factories, drive the trucks, sell war bonds, etc…

What are you talking about, history is over. /s
The only resistance that could stand a chance against the US army would be organized by the Canadian government, in which case they’d provide you with the weapon.
Depends on the nature of the conflict, Unless the US is willing to completely level most of Canada and much of its own northern states you’ve pretty much got Afghanistan 2.0 only now the the villagers the terrorists blend into are US citizens.

Yes
No, fentanyl might be more effective at mass destruction. /s (obviously)
Then maybe we should stop exporting it.
Yeah we should totally ban drug smuggling!
It’s this that “newspeak” I’ve been hearing about?
Oh for fuck sakes.
Alright, folks. Time to get on !MapleResistance@lemmy.ca, !Canada@50501.chat, and !resist@fedia.io. !preppers@lemmy.ca could use some love too
For a guy who said he wasn’t gonna go to war, he sure as fuck sounds like a guy getting ready to go to war.
Since the major sources of fentanyl brought into the USA are from Mexico and South America, and originate in China I get the feeling he will either invade the south or just use this as an excuse to grab more power without actually mobilizing. He sure as fuck doesn’t have the balls to deal with daddy China, he praises the shit of out Xi.
I just hope the economy finally crashes before he gets the chance.
Here comes the “special military operation”, but it’s not a declaration of war so he doesn’t need congressional approval.
Actually thanks to the 2001 AUMF he doesn’t need Congress as long as it’s part of the (still ongoing, never officially ended) “war on terror”. Which, presumably, would include stopping WMDs.
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.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Should have acquired nukes. This is the message.
CANDU !
Not guns?
