I wonder how soldiers feel knowing that Trump isn't in it for Democracy…but wants to pillage Ukraines rare earth minerals for Technology. Any losses in military lives would be justifiable to him. I also wonder if he didn't make this deal with Putin…to share the wealth to subdue Ukraine. We need Europe to step in. This is a power grab for Trump and he could care less about our troops.
Europe is in already and we are not going anywhere. If Ukraine falls, we are next. Please don’t believe trumps’ lies. He wants to create chaos and make us doubt each other. We stand by Ukraine, we stand by USA as a country/people. I hope your military and your intelligence agencies has a contingency for dealing with this hostile government takeover. I am sure many of you saw it coming when he tried to commit a coup after he lost the election. I pray for you all! I believe in you all! Go go go! Love from Denmark 🇩🇰
And from what I have read about the Russian army, if they are through with you, they get rid of you. So you will never return if you go. It is time for the military to make a statement themselves. If the ones who are against Trump walk out right now, he’s in big doodoo.
We actually have been feeling a military coup might be needed to stop this rogue FOTUS and his unelected Melonhead. But with his firings last night, we’re now concerned.
If Hegseth keeps this up, he’ll be naming the army against him. +Navy, most forces I bet. The most fierce of all defenders of the Constitution that I know are several Marines I know. They are broiling over the whole ‘King’ comment.
If a bunch of US military middle school kids in Germany can walk out on Hegseth, then right on! You know what to do when unlawful orders come down. Thank you!
I so hope America’s military members can hang tough if faced with an order to take my country. I know people who’ve never fired a gun that are applying for gun permits in Canada. My wife and I are two of them. We live in a border town and watched the early videos of the Ukrainian invasion where citizens were getting shot by soldiers. We are preparing, right now, just in case.
Many, many, many of us would rather die fighting than give into invasion. We will respond like Ukraine.
We Americans don’t trust him and you certainly should NOT either. We are so sorry for his actions and statements against you, our neighbors, allies and trusted friends.
Please know we stand with you and want you to take all actions necessary to protect yourselves and your sovereignty.💙🇨🇦✨🇺🇸💙
How I wish I could help you and your wife feel less threatened! Most Americans are appalled at the bluster and cruelty from Trump. Both my husband and son served in our military and agree with the sentiments of this soldier. What can we do to work together and restore sanity instead of fueling fear?
I think we have to keep talking about it so it stays on people’s radar. Trump and his people are flooding the news with so many things an invasion of Canada, from the perspective of many Americans, may seem like a remote possibility.
Canadians, however, know the risk is real because Trump’s people keep bringing it up, almost daily. Canada will continue to support Ukraine and that could very well be the excuse to paint us as enemies of the State.
Canadians definitely do not want to shoot at American soldiers. My brother in law is Canadian Army and did tours in Sarajevo and Afghanistan. He has both trained and served with American soldiers. The idea we may have to defend ourselves against America is difficult to accept.
Please know that many of us ARE fighting on this side in our own legal ways to prevent the insanity and illegal US invasion of our dear and beloved neighbors!
I know there are many Americans who are as freaked out as we are right now; many of my favourite podcasters are American and they seem as overwhelmed as everyone else. cheers
I’m sure the white nationalists infiltrating our military will be proud to do anything the 🍊💩 will demand. I’d like to believe that there are more with the beliefs stated in this post. Sad that they need to watch their backs from those wishing to undermine our military forces. Keep up the good fight.
As a Canadian, thank you so much for spreading the word.
We don't want to have to fight our closest neighbours to protect our liberty and our independence.
We don't want to, but we absolutely will defend ourselves if we must. Our hearts are already broken, and we're already furious at the betrayals we're already facing from south of the border. We're begging the government- and by extension, the military- not to compound these actions and make matters worse.
We don't want a war with the American people. We're your friends, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, and so on- you're our kith and kin! This division between us is a nightmare that none of us truly want.
As a Canadian I would like to make an ask of those of you who currently serve and those who have served:
Take this list and share it with your fellow service members. Peer pressure is a hell of a thing and it can go both ways. If there’s 50 people in your unit and none of you discuss this issue ahead of time you can probably count on only 5 of you to take a stand and four of that 5 to eventually give. If you’ve talked about this ahead of time and keep talking about it a bunch of those 50 will grow a spine knowing that they can look to you and others for support.
If you’re an NCO talk amongst your fellow NCOs. If you’re an officer talk amongst your fellow officers. Find your support now! Not after the orders are given. If you talk ahead of time and keep talking you have a much better chance of an “I am Spartacus” moment than if you just keep quiet.
All the lawyers who resigned rather than drop charges against the New York Mayor were refusing to obey an illegal order. They have shown us all how to stand up for the rule of law under the Constitution. Applause to all.
Right! While reading this I couldn’t help but think that I am actually more worried about the military being used against its own citizens before the allies. 😳 Both are bad. It’s all bad. I keep thinking I can’t believe we are here.
"Superior orders, also known as just following orders or the Nuremberg defense, is a plea in a court of law that a person, whether civilian, military or police, should not be considered guilty of committing crimes ordered by a superior officer or official. It is regarded as a complement to command responsibility."
We've been through this before and, I thought, it was agreed that 'just following orders' is not an acceptable defense against atrocities and illegal actions.
Thank you dearly. All of you. We are your neighbours and we proudly fought next to you over the years. We will proudly fight against this administration too if needed.
As a former member of the Army, I agree. Any member of the military who follows this insane clown's orders is a traitor, just like him.
Spot on. Thanks for stopping by, Steve!

Plans have been made already, we're not taking it lying down.
Much love dear ally.
You have been waiting way too long. It is time now.
Europe is in already and we are not going anywhere. If Ukraine falls, we are next. Please don’t believe trumps’ lies. He wants to create chaos and make us doubt each other.

I understand he has mentioned sending troops to Russia. That muthafucka!

If Hegseth keeps this up, he’ll be naming the army against him. +Navy, most forces I bet. The most fierce of all defenders of the Constitution that I know are several Marines I know. They are broiling over the whole ‘King’ comment.
I mean like, do they really want to retire? Doesn’t seem like the bunch I want to have free time on their hands… jus saying
What are you waiting for?
Thank you!
On behalf of 🇨🇦 thank you.
I salute you sir.
If a bunch of US military middle school kids in Germany can walk out on Hegseth, then right on! You know what to do when unlawful orders come down. Thank you!
I have not heard that story. Do tell!

Amazing!! Go kids!!!! Proud of their bravery.
Thanks for sharing!
I grew up an Army brat. I’m just sorry our incredible military may be put in this untenable situation. God save and protect all of you!
My late father served in WW2. He and you are people of honor.
I enjoyed reading this.

We will do the same until he’s gone.
Thank you
Spot on !
Thank you ❤️
Hear! HEAR! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
And many of us Americans would fight alongside you, fight FOR you.
Warms my heart bud; It would be an honour.
As a US native with Canadian ancestry, I will find my way across the border and fight with you!
Thank you, open arms, and a rifle, will be waiting. Vive le Canada.
As will I.
Stand strong Canada.
thank you…we know we have friends in America despite the current situation and appreciate it deeply.
We love Canadians. Any attack on you by U.S. forces would also be met with severe resistance from within the U.S.
Thanks man, we know we are friends with America…just not the current administration.
Please don’t shoot the 1st American you see 👀
It may be refugees on the run for freedom 😄

I was born in the 60s and ‘never in my wildest dreams’ is all that comes to mind when I ponder where we are. cheers

Thank you - to all of you ❤️
Be safe, be well, and be strong…
Same to you, Jacqueline. Stay safe and all the best!
I hope that the entire military will agree with this even in the face of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Our country and way of life depend on it.
I’m sure the white nationalists infiltrating our military will be proud to do anything the 🍊💩 will demand. I’d like to believe that there are more with the beliefs stated in this post.

Yes! Communicate now. Please do the right thing, and stick together.
A clown’s average salary is $40k-$50k per year and here you are being one for free
Well this is a bunch of b******* seems to me that you're the people that we're trying to get away from
Err… Did you catch the last game? 🍁
It's the USA military that needs to keep this tyrant in line. Appreciate your words. Thank you. 🇨🇦
All the lawyers who resigned rather than drop charges against the New York Mayor were refusing to obey an illegal order. They have shown us all how to stand up for the rule of law under the Constitution. Applause to all.
I am a veteran and I totally agree. We swore an oath, to protect against ALL terrorists foreign AND DOMESTIC!!
Right! While reading this I couldn’t help but think that I am actually more worried about the military being used against its own citizens before the allies. 😳 Both are bad. It’s all bad. I keep thinking I can’t believe we are here.
I am feeling this too!!!!!
I know. Really sad times….
THANK YOU 🙏

Trump must be throwing a tantrum now.
Excellent writing with great integrity! The world needs much more of This.
I'm assuming this applies to the military being sent to suppress peaceful protests in the United States as well?
