The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says he found it 'incredibly concerning' to hear senior staff from U.S. President Donald Trump’s office convey that the commander-in-chief is 'very serious' when he talks about annexing Canada.
That’s the biggest problem. You need either Canada’s consent (which he can’t get) or to win a war with Canada plus the rest of NATO.
The second problem: it would make way more sense to become 10 or 13 US states. With respect to both area and population. That would be a big disadvantage to his party in congress.
The US government coup in broad daylight. Plus whatever the fuck else he’s doing that’s not making it into the news cycle because of other shit taking up the time.
That would be a big disadvantage to his party in congress.
Would it though?
Most of the western provinces are very conservative. They’ll just gerrymander everything to give the more liberal sections one or two states and then another 12 states worth of senators and reps that are purely Nazi.
You’re dreaming if you think NATO minus the US would fight the US if the US invaded Canada. There would be some excuse made, or some technicality found.
As for becoming states, what’s much more likely is that the US would make Canada a territory like American Samoa: no electoral college votes, no senators, no congressional representatives, not even US citizenship.
Does he not understand that it will require a full-scale war for that to happen?
Not just a full war but constant costs for occupation with a populace with easy and common access to drones, guns, and explosives.
I think it’s unlikely that Canada would formally resist and hold the border for long… but Canadians are really fucking pissed about this bullshit.
People would be making Molotovs in their kitchens immediately.
I’m drinking them now. I love the burn.
You would also have partisans in the US that would help Canada.
As well they should be. I’m furious about it even though I know it’s absolute bullshit.
If he wants to rename bodies of water to distract people from the real purpose of his occupation of the White House, fine-
But threatening a country just to smoke-and-mirrors his drifting of America? Fucking disgusting.
And the US military is absolute garbage at fighting guerillas
The US declared war on drugs and drugs won

This is why it’s very evident that it’s a distraction from the grift.
Can you elaborate? I assume you mean there’s a grift at play. What is it?
The US government coup in broad daylight. Plus whatever the fuck else he’s doing that’s not making it into the news cycle because of other shit taking up the time.
Typo. Meant to say distraction. Fixed it.

Also, hes a dictator so the way people vote is irrelevant.
Hellberta and Saskabush are it for right wingnuts. Manitoba went NDP last election and BC is also NDP (in name anyway).

No
I think he imagines that starting needless conflicts makes him look tough, not like the clueless moron he is.
