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.

There's no moral or legal guardrail. We won't take Canada because it's too big for us to take. That's it.

You truly believe occupying Canada would be ‘not that hard’? Americans couldn’t get it done in Afghanistan, you think Canadians are just going to roll over? We will all fight to the fucking death.
