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

One thing I despise about the US (gun violence and healthcare inequitability aside) is how it measures the value of everything in money.
It's culture is a commodification machine. Nothing can just be beautiful for the sake of being beautiful, it has to be made into a side hustle somehow.
Most Americans are married to their jobs and have little work life balance relative to Canadians and Europeans.
There is a remarkable amount of mental gymnastics done by people trying to gaslight themselves into thinking this is what they want, even though most would be happier and healthier with more time off.

If I have to fight for my country and defend it, then I'll happily do so.

Beautiful reference and mention of an insightful writer and author .... now I have some more reading to do. Thanks!

At this point, I'm seriously wondering what the Reichstag fire will be that will prompt the US to conjure up an "enemy without," steamroll several sovereign countries and blockade the Mediterranean and most of the Atlantic.

That doesn't matter at all when you're actively attacking infrastructure and not people.

I wouldn't call Canada's work/life balance good, but it's still better than America's.

Multiple fronts I'd imagine.
I'd easily imagine Mexico declaring and starting to fuck shit up at the southern border.
Depending on when it starts, potentially embargoes from Europe. (Right now I think they're still too skittish, but if Trump invades after he's spent another year or so destroying international relations, I don't doubt Europe would slap embargoes on him. At some point, those countries that host American bases would tell them to fuck off back home which in the short term would be bad for Canada since it would be reinforcing the American military, but in the long term destroying America's global reach.
I'd accept casualties if it meant taking care of American imperialism long-term.

Honestly, Canada is a terrible target from a guerrilla warfare perspective. We have vast areas of emptiness that locals are familiar with but are dangerous if you don't know how to survive there, many pocket communities that could easily hide insurgents and weaponry, lots of farming, which means lots of nitrates, a populace that can easily disappear into the American general population, and enough of an identity to not want to be absorbed by a different culture.
I don't think we could stop America from invading and occupying, but we could make Vietnam look like a walk in the park. So, who's up for another couple decades of occupation?
