Trump doubles down on annexation threat, says Canada would be ‘cherished state’
-
He's too busy banning paper straws and taking away his enemies security clearances to annex Canada.
-
All the while ignoring all the terrible things being done by Republicans.

When the leader of the world's largest superpower dreams of Anschluss of their otherwise allied neighbour, that's not clickbait, it's the state of international policy and diplomacy with the leader the US elected.

Getting in would be a piece of cake, yes. Holding it would be so increadibly hard though.
Over 80% are against annexation. How much police officers/soldiers would be needed to keep the peace? Socially it would be a nightmare to integrate. Canada would probably retaliate with sabotage and guerilla tactics to shut down key infrastructures.
US government would have to deal with a good portion of its own population not to mention NATO and the commonwealth members states. They could support Canada militarily, but even if they don't there would be strong pressure and irreversible diplomatic and economic consequenes. What if China and/or Russia use this as an opportunity to weaken USA while it's busy hitting its own allies?
I just don't see it happening and being profitable in any shape or form. It would be a useless costly mess and needless bloodshed.

"being angry" is like "thoughts and prayers"... it really means nothing.
Only a minuscule part of Americans are actually <insert emotion here> to motivate them to do anything about it... half of those are not even doing anything useful...

Good for you man. I hope many of your fellow countrymen feel the same.

You seem to be under the impression that I’m defending the idea of the US invading Canada.
No? I just missed a step in my text a bit. My point was that while the US military is strong and could outright invade Canada with tanks and planes and guns... that isn't how the war would actually be fought. It would instantly turn to guerilla warfare as normal citizens started weaponizing themselves, crossing into the United States, and being able to carry out attacks on American infrastructure while looking and sounding the same as Americans.
Canada can't prepare a ton more than it already has but America can't prepare at all. The infrastructure in America is way too vulnerable and any war with Canada would mean a destruction of American infrastructure carried out by people wearing not uniforms but a smile.

That’s cynical. Americans generally love Canadians outside Trump’s bullshit echo chamber. It’s horrifying to watch him shit all over Canada, and only strengthens our shared enemies, which is his goal. Many of us are standing up, contacting our representatives, and saying NO.
