They'd likely follow orders. The more pertinent question is whether Republicans in Congress will let him take military action against a NATO ally? They have already shown some backbone on his cabinet picks, and the GOP majority in the house is razor thin.
My understanding though is that under the War Powers Resolution he can wage war for 60 days before requiring congressional approval as longs as he can say there is 'a national emergency'... a lot of damage could be done before congress could step in to stop him.
I'm a former soldier and have deployed several times to war zones. Even our rapid response forces who are on alert for fast deployment take 10 days to mobilize. Mobilizing against Greenland would take weeks, and Congress would have ample time to declare the move illegal.
Elon Musk is the dumbest man on earth. Arrogant but dumb. You don't get to just tell Canada you're taking it. That's not how this works! FUCK OFF YOU DICKLESS PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE!
fellow draft-dodgers, whose ready to dodge the imminent draft? in a video game end sarcasm i *totally* wouldn't draft dodge (like a certain incoming president)
My fear is that, if Trump follows through with his threats, what the US will offer Canada and Greenland in exchange for losing their Universal Healthcare will be "the drone strikes will stop".
In Denmark, when u turn 18. You get payed to go to school. A normal danish student get around 1000 dkr. A month. If you are from Greenland, you get 4000. Even if your parents live in Denmark.
Who would want to give that up. What would they get in the US?
Great, safe schools, universities and vocational colleges all funded with student aid so every student has the option of education. No guns without education, registration and regulation. Maternal and paternal leave (up to a great), child tax credit, $10/day child care. A $17.30 minimum wage.
At age 4 my daughter was treated for Childhood Leukaemia. It cost us NOTHING to get her treated. She lived. I have had two strokes and the first saw a stent put in my carotid artery, it cost me NOTHING. I had a hernia repaired NO charge. I'm blessed to live in Australia
I'm now on a Disability Pension. I believe our Medicare levy is 2% of our wages and the first $18,000 we earn the levy does not apply. I pay $6 for my prescriptions to help prevent stroke
That's,theft. Imagine if you just paid 2% of your salary into a Medicare levy and it meant you got,'free Health care'. You could,drop your insurance or pay for a private insurance that helped you get faster surgery for eg hernias
I'm very happy with Australia's healthcare system. It saved my daughters life at,age 4 cost me nothing and saved mine a few,times. If we had Americas system I'd have been bankrupted with medical bills,a few times,by now
Yeah. If they want to see angry just try messing with our Healthcare and replacing it with "medical debt". That includes some Premiers as well as Trump.
Well, not voluntarily, but what about if attacked with a "special military operation" like you-know-who-kraine?

Just a little FYI on Canada. The amount of Fentanyl that cross the border into the US from Canada is about 41 pounds. The amount from Mexico is about 21,000 pounds.
Leave Canada out of your drug mess.
In addition to 52+ weeks of parental leave, federal dental plan, subsidized daycare, tax credits for the working class, affordable post secondary education, gun laws, same sex marriage, legal weed….we’re good.
10 paid sick days a year, two weeks paid vacation a year. Public employees have a plethora of other paid days off but most private industries also have attractive and fair leave policies. We pay into employment insurance so you can claim if you have extended leave requirements like caring 1/2
For sick family or if you’re out of work. Yes a retirement pension paid by both the fed government ($1500 a month) and in my province (every province has their own plan) I would get an additional additional amount of 25% of my average career wage. We like to complain up here but come on!
You do know by running with these Trump statements you're doing exactly what he thought would happen, distraction. Distraction away from grocery and gas prices and tax cuts for his buddies. He'll pardon Jan 6th people not because he thinks it's right but to help him distract
Indeed we want president musk , vice president Putin and their demented orange sidekick taking all our money and giving us assault rifles and expensive health insurance so we all die when it doesn’t cover us
Hey Canada! come jump in to the dumpster fire with us! Just a few rules, you have to pay corporations for health care that you may or may not be reimbursed for, guns are mandatory and you have to let red states run the government even though the blue states generate all the wealth. Sound good?
LOL! Right? Never gonna happen. And why would they want to join this Hellscape that has become America? Beacon to the World we are no longer. I also predict nations around the world will start issuing travel warnings for the U.S.
no it's not. the US can devolve into civil war and then Canada can absorb the western US and New England. Perhaps Mexico can have some of its territory back as well, given that it was taken for pennies after a US manufactured war following Mexico's refusal to sell the west/southwest to Polk.
Not only that, the Maple Leaf has become an international symbol of relief, succor, and comfort. The Stars and Stripes show up, and the locals are all saying, "Oh, what the fuck NOW?"
What is the worse thing that’s he’s really planning? This is too ludicrous to be real, so what do his minions and handlers really have on tap that they are waiting to spring on us?
The Mango Mussolini questions Denamrk's legal right to have Greenland as a protectorate. Perhaps the same questions could be asked of the territories around the globe to which the US claims ownership. And then there's Hawaii.
But, why does he keep going with this? What is the reason? Besides being an idiot. Does he think it makes him look like a tough guy, or that he is actually doing some work?
So why do you keep talking about it then? Stop amplifying their craziness. I suppose you're using their stupid ideas to get clicks. Well, here's one more I guess.
greenland's culture is practically on the verge of extinction and people are being forcibly sterilized under danish rule. of anything, they should be their own country.
Other Countries have Billionaires trying to break their economies like America has.
There are a few of them that want the Capitalist control like it is here in the states.
That would be a big fucking NO! Even our Maple MAGA said 67% no (it’s 13% when you go by the whole country) 🤓

If Merrick Garland doesn't speed track or release the report he's going to be the biggest disgusting failure to ever serve as attorney general office that ever served for the United States; "he's the one that put us in this situation", "history's watching"!
I just can’t believe that we’re even having a conversation about this. But that’s what Trump wants. He wants a distraction and he wants to establish his authoritarianism very early in the game. What the hell have you Americans done?
I don't think it's all a lack of education. I think it's the neutralization of morals and the rise of racism - all triggered by Trump and his ilk like Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, and the willingness of the country to ignore the dangers. As long as we have a liberal government, we call it out here.
You are making it sound like he is asking us to be part of the US - he's not, he's talking about "taking" us. No, we don't want to be American for lots of reasons.

There are no ammendments of any kind
There is a 37% tax rate
Yes, 37!

Who would want to give that up. What would they get in the US?

How quaint.
He'll do untold damage.
He already is.
If Orange Peel is planning to end the US Constitution because it doesn't work for the GOP, I guess that releases me from my oath.
since he thinks it’s a “third-world hellhole”.
Sincerely,
Canada 🇨🇦
