It's baffling to me that this is being either ignored or presented as some goofy talk by Trump, instead of understanding that he is talking about *conquering a sovereign nation and taking ownership of it*. This is no different than Russia and Ukraine, except the U.S. military hasn't invaded (yet?). - ThreadSky

Trump: "To be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state it would be one of the great states. This would be the most incredible country visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it."

Chuck Schumer will vote for the invasion

It is threatening invasion, it's not remotely a joke.

It’s wise to look at how the Canadians are taking it to see how badly it’s covered in the United States. Trump has specific treaties and border issues he raised with Trudeau that he rejects. The entire northwest power grid could be thrown into disarray EVEN WITHOUT an invasion.

Based on the nonsense he’s saying and the actions he’s directing, that is. It’s already deadly serious.

I think we could have troops in downtown Toronto and we'd still have people saying "it's a distraction!"

"they're just shutting down illegal fentanyl labs"

This is the nonsense I’m talking about. “He’s only threatening to seize Canada as a distraction.” Really? Trump is proposing starting a war as a distraction from…what? Is there something *worse* than the violent subjugation of Canada that we’re supposed to ignore?

Schrödinger's war declaration

Exactly. It's direct, repeated, intentional threats from the person presiding over the world's largest arsenal, on our border, with clear descriptions of what is desired by the aggressor nation.

None of these people have been right about downplaying his impact yet.

They can fuck right off.

the problem with “the guy’s full of shit” is no matter how true that is it’s also true that the guy’s full of shit that’s very bad and in a unique position to execute on it

This is how much of the alt right works, it’s all just a joke, until it isn’t. This is the message of gamer gate, Trumps first run, all the election is stolen and then the find run. He’ll do it if he thinks he can.
