  • the 51st state thing is tabloid level headline nonsense

    there is no way it would happen peacefully. , it would only happen after a military invasion or a coup backed by the US. Abandon any idea of Canada becoming a state, it would be occupied territory without legal representation and likely very few if any rights. and it would remain that way for at least a generation or two before any small “new states” were carved out, and collaborators would be allowed to rule over small regions for the interest of keeping the peace. after a healthy amount of colonization of American loyalists, murder of Canadians and imprisonment of dissidents. but all in all. make no mistake, it would be a shooting war, and it would certainly cause civil war in america too, as this is a red line.

    you need only look to Eastern Ukraine to see how this sort of thing plays out.

    Armed coercion, military invasion, fake referendums, importing migrants to replace the dead and evicted with "colonists’. suppression , imprisonment and murder of locals who dont swear fealty. etc.







  • the whole reason the G7 exists, is because Russia was expelled from its predecessor, the G8

    There is no argument for readmitting Russia, because Russia is an economic pissant compared to China, The weaker members of the G7 like Italy and Canada still have larger economies than Russia, and there are other states who have a better argument for Russia’s old spot, like Australia or possibly India.

    The G7/G8 was kind of like BRICS. it wasn’t a formal alliance, it was an amalgamation of friendly countries with leading economies. The G8 was Russia’s gateway to playing footsie with Western countries it shared zero common ground with. and only used it as a tool to try to loot and pillage. Russia is not a “Western” country, and it permanetley made that distinction in 2022.
