We were discussing this last night. What possible motivation does Trump have for his obvious vendetta against Canada? In a world of stupidity it makes less sense than even the really stupid stuff he's doing.

The pretense will be that Canda has threatened US energy security so they had to do it to protect the US.
If a non-far right party wins in the next Canadian election then perhaps the Canadian government itself will be considered a threat. See flimsy pretense to Russia invading Ukraine for playbook.
Can't remember what it's called but it's something to do with spheres of influence. China can do what it likes in Asia because it's the most powerful country in the region, US in the Americas and Russia in Europe. Rewind to pre UN international relations for the type of world that is.
I think Trump will test the water by annexing a bit of Mexico . Using cartels as an excuse. See if it can be done. Then if that’s achievable push north
I think people have tended to forget why Putin wanted Ukraine. It wasn’t some altruistic desire to free Russian speaking people. It was for the same mineral resources and grain production Trump wants. They’re two peas in a pod.
Prisoners of Geography is depressing but good on this too. Argues that the lack of natural borders in Eastern Europe means Russia will always feel vulnerable and seek to build a buffer zone.

They’re already following other authoritarians playbooks.
It seems inevitable at some point they’ll need Americans to feel at war. So it’s a false flag attack or war with a neighbour.
