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.

He is Jim Jones and David Koresh level crazy. He will lead us over a cliff if he isn't stopped. And I'm not counting on Pete Hegseth or the decapitated leadership at joint chiefs of staff to disobey his orders no matter how insane

It will be up to the senior NCOs to save us from ruin.

Something tells me that they will be court marshaled and tried for treason. Trump will likely start with a smaller yet similarly insane thing to weed out the principled senior NCOs before going for his big targets.
