With a difference: Canada can invoke Article 5.
That would be a huge twist and the only one really taking advantage would be China.
I understand he's stupid, I hope not to this extent.
Realistic assessment? Why don’t we score it like a basketball game and the loser has to concede defeat? The Russians have been getting slaughtered—despite holding territory, they’ve gotten their orc asses kicked. Therefore, they lost and can fuck off back to Russia.
I quite believe he *would* - but I'm heartened by the fact the Army leadership just publicly showed they will honor their Oath "to support and defend the Constitution" when they ignored his illegal order re trans troops.
The Joint Staff aren't gonna risk the Hague for a man who despises their dead.
i've been saying this for years and everyone still says i'm nuts. this is why he didn't do anything when they went in the first time. Canada was always part of the deal.
I'm fully expecting to be among the first affected, living here at the southernmost tip of the part of Ontario that plunges deep into the US midwest. This place feels ripe for annexation despite the moat we've got around us.
Russia has the highest TB, diphtheria, cholera in the world, 20% have no indoor plumbing.
The only hospital treating cystic fibrosis closed, HIV cases increased 27%, insulin is very difficult to get.
13,000 new measles cases, whooping cough cases also rising due to lack of vaccines.
Agreed. He desperately wants Putin’s approval, needs to be considered one of the world’s baddest ass tough guys. But it’s not just DFT. He’s run by a collection of hard core libertarians and ultimately this is their decision.
Truth. Trump's language is a direct steal of Putin's about Ukraine not being a real country. His constant repetition that Canada shouldn't be a country is equally disgusting. As PM Trudeau has said, there's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada ever joins the USA. You can count on it.

With each egregious lie, he works to delegitimize #Canada as a sovereign nation.
He claims our industries are ‘stolen’ from US.
He dehumanizes Canadians.
All to convince Americans we are undeserving of our land, our work, our lives
#ViveLeCanada
And then - at a terrible price in blood on all sides - encounter the same lesson Putin did.
An invasion is one thing.
An occupation is another.
And an occupation of a population intermingled with and indistinguishable from your own?
Very much another.

He is an existential threat.
