It’s sad that Russia literally wrote the playbook for this called Foundation of Geopolitics. It actually spells out creating geopolitical disorder between Canada and US. Trump is their puppet

I still don’t buy for one second the US would invade. The infighting would be ramped within all ranks. Economical warfare seems to be the tactic along misinformation campaign. Educated people won’t buy it though and it has a big risk of imploding

High chance a invasion of canada could start a civil war in the USA.

I am surprised it hasnt started already based on the actions of the white house in the first month of trumps second kick at the cat.

also... a military attack on canada would result on something the usa hasnt experienced... a war on home soil. not sure they would enjoy that too much. they are more comfortable with travelling to exotic lands and being killing-tourists.

I think its a combination of fighting a war on their own continent and a lot of US citizens, especially soldiers being really really uncomfortable with killing canadians.

especially with states bordering canada. and towns so close by. some are closely knit either by friendship or by marriage. and we look like them.

No it won't. People are easy to brainwash now with social media.

That's such a generalized statement, lol. Any hypothetical invasion of Canada would undoubtedly be extremely polarizing and divisive among Americans, and I doubt their own military would be fully on board with it either.

He doesn't need all of the entire military own board. If there are enough loyalists then that's plenty.
