Going to war with Canada seems like the fucking most wild thing he could do. It's a nation of mostly white, mostly English speaking people right next door to us. I don't think you can manufacture consent for a war against people so culturally similar to you they're basically indistinguishable. I mean fuck how many families in both countries have mixed US/Canadian citizenship? I don't think even the biggest Minnesota CHUD is suddenly going to support invading his Alberta wife's home county.

That's what everyone thought about a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine a long time ago. Turns out a dictator just does things.

Well,like the Ukrainians,the Canadians have a shitload of nazis too,many of them Ukrainian ironically enough

Problem is,the US can't draw on its historical memory of killing nazis like the remnants of the greatest fascist killing machine,the Soviet Union,can

The average American thinks that the USA defeated the Nazis
