Amid continued threats of annexation from U.S. President Donald Trump, King Charles III sported Canadian military honours while visiting a British aircraft carrier on Tuesday, just a day after meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The King was visiting HMS Prince of Wales prior to it setting sail to Japan “on a mission that will deepen the UK’s defence partnerships and promote security and stability,” according to the Royal Navy.

“It’s quite significant to see King Charles III wearing these decorations in a British context right after meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,” said Carolyn Harris, a royal commentator and an instructor of history at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies.

King Charles is “finding subtle ways to demonstrate his support for Canadian sovereignty,” Harris says, even if it is normally the royal family’s custom to remain neutral in matters of politics.

The King’s meeting with the Canadian leader came after Charles met Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to show solidarity with Ukraine after he and Trump had a heated exchange in the Oval Office.

Well, King Charles in a military uniform should scare just about any of us.

The idea is not that King Charles is going to fight himself. I'll explain to you what it means:

It means UK is on Canada's side.

UK is signalling to USA, that if USA attacks Canada, then the UK army will fight USA.

What was the result of USA's war in Afghanistan?

I wonder what would happen with all Intelligence and Military's Information shared with Canada and UK if this sensitive data was in the hand of spies from China, Iran or Russia.

Besides Canada's and UK's armed forces know better than any country how USA's armed forces are operating.
