Like if this is a thing the US wants to do, it will cost it *everything* to do it. All of its alliances will unwind. And for what? What exactly does a shattered US get by integrating a shattered Canada that it doesn't already have but better? The warm fuzzy feeling of having subordinated a country? - ThreadSky

I mean he is extorting 400 billion dollars out of Ukraine. Maybe this is just him extorting something out of Canada. Then again maybe not. I just simply can't imagine what the world would look like if this was allowed to happen.

It is a mentality of atrocity that tyrants develop, and it must be stamped out as embers before people die from the fire

It is a truly horrific idea. And we don’t have to ask how well it goes when countries on the same continent go to war because we witnessed what the world wars did to Europe! But of course most of the US is allergic to history.

publicuniversal.bsky.social•5 days ago

he also lives in a universe where you can hostile takeover anything with enough money

jfjord.bsky.social•5 days ago

Correct, like to him this a property acquisition. He thinks he can "buy Canada" and slap a good leaf "TRUMP" on it and he will be able to show people the new thing he bought and what a good deal he made to acquire it. Ditto Greenland
