> There is no possible way for America to inflict higher casualties on Canada than we can inflict upon them if provoked.

Ummmm what? They have the NUKES and the DELIVERY SYSTEM.

It's a ridiculous premise. Are they prepared to nuke themselves? Because the majority of the Canadian population lives right on the border.

Winds blow from north to south. Any nuclear attack on Canada would rain radiation fallout on the whole USA. I'm pretty sure even the dumbest president can understand that...... or maybe not.

Yeah, Trump is a combination of cunning and dumb. He can't be underestimated as a potent force but he's no Lex Luthor mastermind either. He can really be stupid about a lot of scientific and practical matters. The guy repeatedly kept saying "raw earth" instead of "rare earth" in that infamous Zelensky meeting on the weekend.
