Nazi Germany unraveled itself by attacking its neighbors. Do you think thats ever going to happen?
Canadian here, yes. Yes I absolutely think the US will attack its neighbours.
When? I'm American and I just can't even comprehend us attacking Canada. That said, I wouldn't put anything past orange hitler.
Anyway, I hope you put up a fight and I hope the rest of NATO doesn't just sit on its hands.
Have you not been paying attention? Trump tested the waters of attacking Panama, Greenland, and absorbing Canada as a "51st state". He really wants a war SOMEWHERE so he can try to halt the next election. It has to be close and scary, or Americans won't bat an eye. We are so used to wars elsewhere.
MAGA will 100% believe it if he says Canada is sending fentanyl over on a nuke or something and they will be excited to go to war over it.
Have you not been paying attention? Trump says a lot of bullshit. I don't think you should be taking him at his word for anything.
I re-affirm my previous statement. I can't even comprehend the idea of the US attacking Canada. It would be extremely stupid of him and I don't think the people around his orbit would allow it because it would endanger all of them.
Trump would probably launch strikes on the Blue states so he can start a second Civil War if he wanted to.
thats exactly what he's going to do. all these fucking people living in canada and mexico aren't paying attention and they're actually taking him at his word, which you should never fucking do, when he spouts some crazy bs about making canada a state or buying greenland or some other random shit.
When? Right after his economy starts tanking. He's cut off a lot of his trading partners. He's going to need money and resources fast. Canada has a lot of resources he needs, despite how hard he tries to claim otherwise.
He has threatened our annexation since his first term, although in a 'joking' way. This time he started the threats before he'd even been sworn in and he hasn't stopped. He is still threatening annexation of Canada. He has not backed down. He has not apologized. He means it.
He's a critically stupid man, but he's an extremely dangerous one and his statements need to be taken seriously.
stop believing all of trumps distracting bullshit and start actually watch whats happening. he has no intent whatsoever of attacking canada. he's going to attack blue states before he attacks anything. hell, he already is.
They already attacked Iran without official declaration of war. That orange bastard wants to get Bagram back even though the Taliban would just laugh and let the Chinese take it.
Any fascist government requires the need for constant conflict and scapegoats for which to keep itself existing to reign. This includes even threatening to invade countries with punitive military campaigns. Or punishing certain states for "disloyalty" and growling to send troops and cops to "occupy" them.
Iran isn't a neighbor and the US attacking the middle east is practically a habit at this point.
Of course not a neighbor but needs enemies to justify its existence. If he can order that, he might as well launch a strike upon Mexico.
launching an attack on either mexico or canada would be just about one of the dumbest things he could ever do. you actually believe the people advising him are going to let him do something like that? Something that would endanger all of their careers and their current well cemented grasp on power. There is no way.
Nazi Germany had a bad geographical location. Strong powers to the east and west, including the UK as unsinkable aircraft carrier and staging ground for invasion. The USA has none of these issues. It’s surrounded by big oceans and militarily weak neighbors. A naval invasion of the USA is basically impossible.
The USA can do whatever they want in all countries in the Americas. Not even a worldwide coalition could stop that.
The USA could invade and annex Mexico and Canada quite easily.
The USA can also afford to intervene military across the globe, get stuck in a quagmire for years, and it doesn’t endanger their control over their own country.
Yes, I think the US will invade Mexico at some point.
when.
what point.
how in the fuck do you think attacking mexico helps trump preserve his power?
