If the US tried to annex Canada, it would be an unmitigated disaster. It would require a massive occupation force costing billions/trillion. Cause an American civil war. Turn the world against the United States, ending its reign as a super power… It didn’t work in 1812, it won’t work now.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Gazans returning home. To call this heartbreaking is an offensive understatement. I didn't initially believe it in late 2023, but the evidence is now unmistakable that this is a genocide-in-progress.
