US Gen. Election Thread VI: You've Got E-Mail

[The Holy Empire of the Spaghetti Monster]

"General, I've decided that we're going to invade Canada. I've got a great plan for taking their forces out"
"Very good, sir, let me just get the rest of the Joint Chiefs in here and you can tell us your plan. *phone noises* The big idiot's finally lost it. Get in here so we can stall him from nuking Canada and call Pence, tell him he needs to invoke the 25th ASAP"

And that's the story of how Trump was President for half an hour.

Uhh. I think there would be quite a few months of false flag attacks and blaming months before the invasion, ala Iraq. It wouldn't be a direct overnight decision. we'd make up some bullshit first. Even Hitler was smart enough to make a false flag operation to make the case to his people before the invasion of Poland.

You have too much faith in the American military leadership. It's very dangerous.

Trump wouldn't be the first person to use the military to wage wars of aggression. Why didn't they stop the Iraq invasion, that was against the U.N. and international law. Why did they intervene in Syria and Libya? by international law those are both illegal.

I guess because the reality is, most people aren't willing to risk execution for the sake of a foreign country.

And YOU have too much faith in President Trump being smart enough to think of false flag attacks.

[Galloism]

Have there been US elections like these before where both candidates are so uniquely unpopular yet you have to choose between the two?

To an extent, but not like this.

Trump and Clinton are the two most unpopular candidates ever to run since we started tracking such things.

It seems the British Empire has had quite a few battles with French soldiers in Canada before the Paris accords that ended the French and Indian war and gave Canada to the United Kingdom.

Yeah no shit it was a damn war.

Does not change the fact the French settled in Canada as did the British.

That's true, they did. but if you see the original point i was making;

The original point i was making was that Canada can be invaded and that it's neither 'impossible' or 'unrealistic' as some have stated. It is possible, because if invading Canada was inherently impossible or unrealistic, then Canada would still be speaking all french. Because you wouldn't have British settlers in Canada if France still ruled the roost.

If invading Canada was 'impossible', then it would have been a crown colony of France and not the U.K.

When the fires are on the horizon, and the ash falls like snow -- In our darkest hour, there's that comforting light. When we're alone, and the bombs rock the night, it will be Canada there, to fight by our side.

Unless you illegally invade another country.

Pretty sure Canada would be that friend that holds us back because we're drunk and not thinking clearly. "Just let it go man! Just let it go!"

[Freefall11111]

About the same as Trump's alleged rape of a 13-year-old.

The difference between the two is Trump didn't send e-mails about "whether dominos with a "pizza" or "pasta" is better" or how they kept "pasta" (little girl) refrigated for three months

Oh god, you actually bought into the absolute stupidity of /r/the_donald who think that discussions on email about food were all codewords for pedophilia and drugs?

I'm done. I'm absolutely done.

The margin of error 3.7 the only reason why the average is at 5 points is because of two outliers. If you remove those outliers the average drops to two points. Well within the margin of error.

hm?

If you want an alternative perspective, the last time a poll showed a Clinton lead in GA was Oct 18. The 23 other polls (up to Oct 1) all have Trump leads, and most by over 3%.

Ever since the pussy story broke he's been dropping

Well, you know... Iraq...

boop

So guys, what do y'all think? After reading this, I thought it was enlightening

I think economists are almost as reliable as telephone psychics.

As opposed to 370 economists who signed a letter saying not to vote for Trump because he'll wreck the economy like his casinos.

They tried. Canada refused to join in that clusterfuck.

Unless you illegally invade another country.

Unless you count Iraq, which we invaded under suspicions that they had WMDs.

Which we gave them in the Cold War to use against the Soviets.

Have there been US elections like these before where both candidates are so uniquely unpopular yet you have to choose between the two?

Jimmy Carter and I think Gerald Ford.

Not only that, but Canada is like the wife that is always there even when you thought she wouldn't be.

Canada will always be there, till the end of the night. When the sun rises again. To start a new day.

You cannot compare 18th century geopolitics to 21st century ones. Times they have a changed. Is it impossible? No. Is it unrealistic? YES.

"British Canada invaded French Canada once upon a time hundreds of years ago. Therefore the US will invade Canada today."

Just stop. Stop this fucking nonsense. Do you even read what you write? Who takes this garbage seriously?

No the damn point is America is not going to fucking invade one of their closet damn allies because Trump tells them to. It would not be popularly supported and would violate a ton of treaties and alliances America has with other nations.

There is a major damn difference between the time period of the British and French battles over Canada (because they fricking hated one another and wanted to limit each others power) and today with the US and Canada being strong allies.

Doesn't make sense anyway. If you refrigerated someone for three months, they'd surely die.

...um, your point is beyond ridiculous, because the reason we're saying it would be impossible is because of laws THAT DIDN'T EXIST IN THE FUCKING 1760s.

[San Lumen]

Im convinced the media wants Trump to win because they know they would get better ratings with him as President.

The British didn't invade Canada, they invaded the lands which the First Nations occupied. Eventually, their colonies butted up against France's colonies, and they started squabbling.

No the damn point is America is not going to fucking invade one of their closet damn allies because Trump tells them to. It would not be popularly supported and would violate a ton of treaties and alliances America has with other nations.

Those treaties are also federal law. That means telling the military to violate them is by definition an "unlawful order."

Exactly.

[Thermodolia]

They will have to catch me first. I'm not going to follow a crazy man to my death and neither will many others.

Then you're not only guilty of refusal to follow orders, but also of mutiny. I wonder what kind of death they will have in store for you. Hanging? Firing squad?

I won't be charged as I'm not following a lawful order.

Clearly he's a necrophiliac.

[Svebia]

The British didn't invade Canada, they invaded the lands which the First Nations occupied. Eventually, their colonies butted up against France's colonies, and they started squabbling.

Not only that, but France's colony was less of a colony and more of a scatter of small towns that cooperated with each other.

People watch NASCAR for the crashes, and politics for the nation-burning.

the people who launch the nukes should refuse to follow orders too.
