2/2 "Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is perhaps unfamiliar with the Battle of Chateaugay. The last three letters are, after all, gay, and as such, the battle has doubtless been expunged from Defense Department websites and databases, meeting the same fate as the Enola Gay."

"We tried again in 1812. Thomas Jefferson, the original Republican, described the acquisition of Canada as “a mere matter of marching.” This was incorrect. The United States launched eight or nine invasions of Canada during the War of 1812, winning only one fruitless battle. The rest of the time, it got walloped. For example, General William Hull, like other American commanders a superannuated veteran of the Revolution, ended up surrendering Detroit with 2,500 troops to a much smaller British and Indian force. Court-martialed for cowardice and neglect of duty in 1814, he was sentenced to death but pardoned. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is perhaps unfamiliar with the Battle of Chateaugay. The last three letters are, after all, gay, and as such, the battle has doubtless been expunged from Defense Department websites and databases, meeting the same fate as the Enola Gay. Still, it is instructive. An invading force of 2,600 American regulars encountered about 1,500 Canadian militia members, volunteers, and Mohawks under a Francophone colonel, Charles de Salaberry. They were defeated and had to withdraw."
There is a martial spirit up north waiting to be reawakened. Members of the Trump administration may not have heard of Vimy Ridge, Dieppe, the crossing of the Sangro, Juno Beach, or the Battle of the Scheldt. Take it from a military historian: The Canadian soldiers were formidable, as were the sailors who escorted convoys across the North Atlantic and the airmen who flew in the Battle of Britain and the air war over Germany. Canada’s 44,000 dead represented a higher percentage of the population than America’s losses in the Second World War. Those who served were almost entirely volunteers. Bottom line: It is not a good idea to invade Canada. I recommend that in order to avoid the Trump administration becoming even more of a laughingstock, Secretary Hegseth find, read, and distribute to the White House a good account of the Battle of Chateau***. It could help avoid embarrassment.

Timothy Snyder: "This is the magic of the big lie, as Hitler explained in Mein Kampf. Tell a lie so big, advised Hitler, that people will not believe that you would deceive them on such a scale. [...] Big lies today? That #Canada attacked the United StateS first by sending masses of fentanyl across the border. And also that Canada also does not really exist."

„Außerdem sehe man, dass die Europäer Dinge an ihren Grenzen täten, die nicht nur für ihre Länder schlecht seien, sondern auch für die USA. „Wie viele der Menschen, die unkontrolliert und ungeprüft nach Europa kommen, schaffen es im Anschluss in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika?“🤯

Ich frage mich, ob der überhaupt noch merkt, was er da für einen Bullshit faselt.
Was glaubt er, was er hier mitzureden hat.

“#JDVance says he is tired of Canada’s sob stories about being good allies to the US. The comment shows that Vance is not only a low-class twerp but that he's stupid.
Let me tell you about the Scheldt.
You’ve probably have never heard of this battle, even though it was significant in winning the war against fascism. If defending democracy and the international rule of law has become a shitty and thankless job then give the job to Canadians. We will #StandTheGaff. ”open.substack.com/pub/charliea
