The Strait of Hormel-ez.
DO IT!
Oh man if the Canadians aren’t already planning this, that’s an enormous missed opportunity.
They’re not. It’s just some shitpost hot-take.
If you want a country to shut down a key commerce artery in order to stick it to the Americans, you need their leadership to have some fucking دلیرترین
I don’t think we’re going to see that out of a country whose residents are mostly known for their habit of apologizing.
Cool if you’re not familiar with the status of the current US Canada trade dispute since its not relevant for most of the world but…
Aside from China (which has much more leverage), Canada is the only country to apply significant retaliatory / counter tariffs on the US and they’re doing this despite being an historical ally of the US. Most other allies rolled over immediately.
Canada has already demonstrated outsized resilience for its stature against US economic aggression.
Closing a waterway that acts as a major trade route is considered an act of war. Makes sense for a country in Iran’s position where options are limited and their existance has been threatened by Western elites / the Epstein class repeatedly. Makes absolutely no sense in this dispute.

Looks like دلیرترین means bravest, I think you just wanted دلیر for brave, or دلاور for bravery.
There is a difference between being polite and being weak.
I don’t think Mark Carney is being polite.
Really? he’s delivering a masterclass on how a middle power can wipe the floor with Trump
Is he? Looks like he’s just echoing Trump’s own tariffs reactively, with no other plans or contingencies.
I think you mean the “Fuck Donald Trump Canal”
Or the ‘Ivanka Trump Birth Canal’. He’ll be all over it in no time
As someone dependent on that canal living in the states, do it. Make that dumb fuck hurt and all of his dumb fuck supporters hurt too.
Iran’s got america by the balls for oil right now why not kick us while we’re down.
As a nation, we’ve had it coming. 250 years of bloody, ruthless empire was bound to come back at us. The sooner it does, the sooner people will learn some fucking compassion
As a nation blah blah blah, agreed.
As a person with multiple different lineages of subjugated minorities running through my veins, I am tired of having to hurt and having mine hurt in the hierarchy games of “The White Man”, the colonizer, the imperialist.
This will not teach or create compassion, for all that it may be geopolitically necessary for a better world.
Every single time a force has risen to poke that bear, it has always ended short of finishing the job, giving rise not to compassion but to a simple dormancy of evil for a time, and minorities splattered as collateral.
Honestly though, the world needed a strong player atleast pretending to care about freedom. Sad to see y’all going tits up now.
Unfortunately there’ll always be that 33% fringe who supports that idiot and anything fascism-adjacent.
And the 77% refusing to bash the fash.
And the 10% who can’t add properly.
We’re americans the fact that it adds up to 110% isn’t a mistake it’s by design.
If the math doesn’t math, go fash. -American corpo backed leadership through all of American history
More like ‘if the opposition leader is only 95% good then let’s stay home and let fash win!’ - Leftists everywhere in this country.
Technically, it probably includes some overlap, so not necessarily incorrect. If that 77% includes most of the 33% (because, presumably, most of the fash supporters don’t want to bash the fash) then that leaves a remaining ~23% who are willing to bash some fash.
Only 20% can’t be saved, the rest can
Man who tf is “we”I ain’t taking the fall for this
The royal we, referring to our government. We aren’t necessarily taking the fall for it, but unless we restructure our government and economy, we’ll be the ones that feel the effects of their genocidal reign.
Sorry mate MAGA has sealed the date of the US. You’re going to take the fall and live in a shit hole country for many decades.
Close it!
Cool, but does this belong in Murdered by Words?
It does not.
Awesome. Comment today, for tomorrow we are removed!
Piefed has a feature to move a post to a different community. We’d be happy to take this post at !soulism@multiverse.soulism.net
It’s not that Canada has no options to escalate the trade war, it’s that they recognize the obvious truth that escalation hurts both countries
Counterpoint, escalating the petty stuff would be beneficial.
IMO Canada should launch an investigation into the Epstein files and bring it up after stating the short and obvious things about the trade dispute.
That is, imo, a much more effective counter.
You don’t play an abuser’s game.
Trump is a rapist, he thinks like one.
Force him to play a different game.
… while also simultaneously gathering allies, and bunkering down.
And the US legislative branch has a ticking clock over their heads with the midterm elections in November so turning other knobs are probably contingent on those results.
Trump and MAGA and ICE are going to steal the elections.
Not sure if you missed it, but the Supreme Court essentially just mandated that the Federal Government must be provided with a full list of every registered voter any mailed ballot is to be sent to, 60 days prior to the election.
They then get to review those lists, and throw out whoever the fuck they want.
That in and of itself, in any other time, would be a Constitutional Crisis… but the whole strategy is ‘flood the zone’, baffle us all with so much bullshit we literally cannot even comprehend it all.
They’ll literally just declare everyone who publically disagrees with their election proceedings to be terrorists, more or less straight out of the Nazi playbook.
… Canada does not have time on its side.
Nor do Americans, to be frank, but that’s not the subject of this thread.
Canada’s shuttin’ down the Straits of Welland y’all!
Based on what I saw today in terms of people leaving the local Walmart, I’m gonna say the new name for this Strait better have something to do with toilet paper and paper towels. Every single cart seemed like it had giant packages of one, the other, or both.
Can’t they just go down the Niagara falls?
Yes, but getting back up would be a problem.
Not with HM07/05.
The mental image of a large cargo ship just sliding up niagara falls is funny
As an American, fucking do it please, these fucks need to see consequences
Thats one epic canal yo. Fun wiki entry.
Oh Donny. Have you lost another canal?
hormuz canal
