Did this stupid mother fucker really refer to the Prime Minister of Canada as "governor"? Can't tell if pushing the 51st state bullshit or he's just that fucking dumb!
He has been for a while now, which is actually a violation of the US' nato obligations. But who care anymore, the US is no longer an ally.
Edit: it also violates a ton of border treaties, and half a doze international agreements the US has benefited from for a long time. But just with NATO:
Key points of the treaty
The parties agree to settle disputes peacefully
The parties agree to refrain from using force in a way that goes against the United Nations' goals
The parties agree to consider an attack on one of them as an attack on all of them
The parties agree to consult about threats and defense matters
The parties agree to safeguard the freedom, common heritage, and civilization of their peoples
The parties agree to promote stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area
Threatening Canada violates all of these and then some.
It's the new "we'll build a wall, and mexico will pay for it" - a clause so dumb that people will complain about that, unknowingly tugging "normalcy" a step in that direction.
Canada at least has a "Governor-General" who is appointed by the British monarch.
Edit: like several other commonwealth states, Canada is a completely separate country from the United Kingdom. It just happens, by law, that King Charles III is the king of all of them.
When talking about what Charles III is doing in relation to Canada in his position a king, we're supposed to refer to him as the monarch of Canada, we just don't tend to do it because he doesn't live here full time.
Look, when the King of Canada, or his Governor General, perform official acts for Canada, they use the Great Seal of Canada, not the Great Seal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It's totally different, I promise.
