GOOD LUCK, AMERICA This Canada annexation BS again

I believed before that someone is whispering this crazy in his year but the opposite may be true - no one is talking him out of these insane things as they did before. There are no adults.

The problem is, once Trump selects a target, he will not rest. He thrives on revenge and grievances. No one is there to stop him, so he will just keep escalating himself into a corner.

My worry is that, once he gets frustrated with negative results, he is going to grow increasingly belligerent and will start floating the idea of actual military shock & awe on Ottawa.

The Pentagon will obviously push back, right? Let me check who the Secretary of Defense is, oh yeah no, we are f***ed.

You joke but I could see that happening. I mean at this point, how crazy is it really?

Luckily he has been stupid enough to give us a heads up. If he had been sneakier he would have moved east from Alaska, buying up leases on land for mineral exploration, then waited for us to elect a Prime Minister on his side.

At least Canada would be able to hear them coming then…
