How do these countries determine who is their enemy? What common factor unites Russia and Iran, for example?

It also depends how long they have to pay. The recent $18B settlement must be paid over 10 years. So that basically doesn’t matter to a company like Meta.

Interestingly enough, even when these nations differ in terms of their dominant religions, cultural factors, and histories, they unite in their mission to undermine democracy around the world.

This is captured perfectly in Anne Applebaum’s Autocracy Inc

Maybe a hotel development deal would change their minds.

Hopefully they aren’t given 10 years to pay it off like the recent $18B fine for harming children.

I can’t find the Florida article right now. But foreign influencers are also pushing this narrative and getting paid by Facebook for doing so.

Hopefully that Florida based company pumping out Alberta separatist propaganda isn’t successful.

Canadian wildfire smoke went south of the border and Trump responds with tariffs (instead of help with the fires). So I guess we know how Canada should respond to the increase in American coal pollution that will inevitably enter Canadian airspace.

This is exactly why I posted it here. Pretty hard to argue that another Trump term (or a Trump adjacent individual being elected) via this violation of basic democratic principles would not have global implications.

This can’t be legal, right? Either way, keep pumping that national debt!
