Trump doubles down on annexation threat, says Canada would be ‘cherished state’

US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.
We always have been.

Most people are in this fog where current events are only an ephemeral storyline that they tune into periodically like it’s a TV drama.
No, I think most people only have the spoons to handle what is in front of them for the next 3-7 days. Its a systemic problem, that's been promoted by both parties: Keeping voters head's spinning, and the cloak of darkness providing cover for what our oligarchs want to actually do.
I've recently had to explain this to another person: The further down you are, in getting your needs met on the Maslow diagram, the shorter your planning becomes.
If all your needs are met, you can plan for this year, next year, and make decent plans for beyond. If your basic physical needs like food, shelter, water, and housing aren't being met, then your planning is reduced to 3-5 days, if that.
Its purposeful by design, for the working class to have their needs met partially only, at best, by the ruling class. So, we CAN'T plan further out.
Notice during the pandemic, when food, housing, water, etc were all being met better, due to a reduction in transportation costs, food distributions, moratoriums on eviction? We went from people re-learning to make bread, to "Fuck the system!" in a matter of a couple of months?

Maybe not half of the entire US population, but I'd hazard "half" is a fair estimate for those living in border regions, like the Great Lakes.

They better not touch those god damn cute kitties. Build a shopping cart wall that will impede them.

Well, except the part about steam rolling into Canada... Because US forces will have US citizens shooting at them while they attempt to enter Fort Erie, or Niagara Falls.
Assuming that the US takes the most strategic point of entry, which I kinda doubt... Like they'd instead do something stupid like invade via Alaska, which I feel would have less pushback, in numbers, but a better armed citizenry fighting them on both sides.
Alaskans love hunting with AR-10s.

The guerilla warfare will be madness. 30 million angry dissidents and terrorists, under occupation, and known for their war crimes, with a free reign of America.

I know a bunch of Canadians who are still furious about that time an American dropped a fucking bomb on Canadian forces and killed a bunch of us and then walked away with effectively no repurcussions.
I'm one of those Canadians.

He also hasn't considered the destruction that 30 million occupied dissidents (from a country known for their prolific war crimes) can unleash on their oppressor.

And America would lose. Violently.
If America invades Canada then the only thing that has happened is guaranteed your own demise. You have a border with us that isn't defensible and we look exactly like you. We sound exactly like you. We are taught the same things as you are and because of your loud as shit TV, we're plugged into the same pop culture. We can pass every single test to come off as an American.
America invades Canada and guerilla warfare becomes instaneous with major infrastructure throughout the US like railways and bridges being targetted for destruction by homemade bombs and just individually driven rage. You would have to literally kill every single Canadian who has a problem with the invasion because otherwise the extreme Anti-American hatred will only grow and foster until the United States is constantly being bombarded by "domestic terrorists" from a nation that never wanted to be a part of your shitheap in the first place.
People keep thinking about war with drones and tanks and soldiers. If you're going to another country and trying to pound them into submission like the Americans? Sure. But it is a very different thing entirely when a fishing vessel packed with fertilizer detonates inside of a port or harbor or when multiple explosives are set off devastating your insanely aging and woefully unprotected bridges and railways.

I think you greatly underestimate how many Americans are angry about what’s going on and like our neighbors to the North.

Surprisingly I don't think I've seen comments from people who live in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont on the subject online. I never realized just how close those states are to Montreal.

People are making a killing selling them on Tiktok

I would hope our NATO allies would fulfill their commitments too!

Well… there you go Canada. You’ll be cherished. You’ve no reason not to now. So… what’s the holdup?
(Obligatory /s)

We need "Let's Go Trump" stickers.

Theres a reason why he isn't making the same threats against Mexico.
There's a reason he wants to resettle Palestinians before redeveloping Gaza.
