    Trump said Canada could join the system for free if it becomes the 51st U.S. state. If not, it would cost $61 billion.

    And Canada said: “No.” 🤭

      “They are considering the offer!” Trump claimed.

      Prize BS

        I mean they are likely considering the offer. Considering it a bad joke maybe, or an insult, or most likely both.

        They told him “Don’t call us, we’ll call you” and he interpreted it as them considering it.

        Your offer has been considered, and it has been found… wanting. Do not force us to consider it further, or we may find even more things we dislike about it.

    Carney said his government is working quickly to join the EU-led “ReArm Europe” program, which plans to invest $1.25 trillion in defense over the next five years.

    “Seventy-five cents of every dollar spent on defense goes to the United States. That’s not a smart move,” Carney told host David Cochrane.

            You see I have 3 up, and 20 sneaky, anonymous cowardly downvotes on my original comment.
            Zero replies in defense of their regime.
            Because there are no words that can possible justify these monsters.
            You should be here to call out these despicable complicite cowards, genociders and their bootlickers.
