Only if that kid was a better shot.
I could start WWIII, I can see that happening
Don't you love trump?
I consider the US our enemy. Even if we come to an agreement at this point, it's the duty of every Canadian to backstab the US when such an opportunity arises. There can no longer be peaceful co-existence unless the US is split apart. Every Canadian employed by an american employer should start stealing IP and sabotaging operations. This is just the beginning.
This is plain dumb and the same rhetoric that got America into its fascist me first bullshit policy in the first place.
The system got hijacked. The people speaking out are getting arrested and deported to a foreign death camp. The US will course correct, or need help doing so.
Sit your militant LARPIng troll ass down and let the adults figure this shit out. A war is not good for either country, nor is a need for constant paranoia like you're suggesting.
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American citizens. Why would he add the equivalent of another California to the voting population. No Canadian will ever cast a vote in favor of the political party that took their country from them.
What version of statehood is he envisioning here?
The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.
It's only rumours so far, but according to the new president nobody is going to vote ever again, soo
Because Putin promised Canada to him, in exchange for Alaska.
And you only care what the people think if you think they can hold you accountable in some way. Without elections, and with the largest military in history willing to fire on American citizens, the opinion of the people is irrelevant.
There's no way he was ever serious about it, but i can't for the life of me figure out his plan. Only thing i can figure is that it was some kind of negotiation tactic involving Greenland.
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American voters ~~citizens~~.
We'll be like Guam or Puerto Rico.
They already answered this question. They would use procedural rules to prevent Canadian votes from mattering, the same as they have done in the US in many states.
The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.
I thought that's the plan?!
Making us citizens and giving us statehood are two different things, and I could see the former, but not the latter. Not that we would join willingly in the first place
Then he needs to stop calling it a 51st. A state can vote. A territory cannot.

The fact that he's even entertaining this is insane. He needs to be removed from office. Fuck the media for reporting on it like this is just one side of an argument that makes any kind of sense.
"Something could happen"? Motherfucker, you either make it happen or not. It's not something that's bestowed upon us from the sky
Bullies don't attack people they're scared of.
Reminder to the military: you are not required to follow illegal orders. In fact, you are duty-bound to disobey them
I'm quite positive, whether he invades a sovereign nation or not, in some time -- be it five years, ten, or more -- we'll have our own version of the Nuremberg trials. Whoever is still alive that perpetrated or participated in this rape of democracy will be held accountable, someday, because all dictatorships fall.
The only question is how many people have to suffer before then.
Except no mercy this time. No plucking any of them out of the trials to build rockets or create federal intelligence agencies or cutting any deals like the USA did with the Nazi's. Fascists don't believe in mercy anyway so why show them any?
I want to see leavitt do the march to prison. She is the present day Otto.
I hope that you’re right, but it does need to be pointed out that Nazi Germany didn’t have thousands of strategic nukes

An invasion of Greenland, or Canada, wouldn't necessarily be unlawful.
Remember 9/11? Remember George Bush asking Congress to approve his use of military force to hunt down the suspects?
Well that Authorization for the Use of Military Force, unlike any prior which had clearly defined limitations, was simply against "terror" and set to expire "never."
One member of Congress refused to vote for this, precisely because she understood that Congress was effectively forever giving up its ability to determine when and how the President was allowed to deploy the military. She got death threats. She was right.
All Trump has to do is "find" a terrorist threat in a country, and he's allowed to send US troops there. Remember how he recently decided that fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction? Yeah.
He’s already trying with the Mexican gang in Canada. Congress are well aware of this strategy and it has been a talking point one the floor. It’s actually been said that US is more a threat to Canada not the other way around. In which more fentanyl and illegal immigrants pass the border from the US to Canada. I mean he has that angle in which he can complain about the Mexican gang but then he has to also admit he is also responsible for putting them in Canada. Cuz the US is the only path to Canada from Mexico.
You're trying to use logic against a man who only uses logic when he needs it to make his plans sound legit to rational thinkers

Threatening war on an ally, a member of the EU and UN; while helping the enemy.
That's not what a russian asset would do...
The UN is not an alliance. Perhaps you were thinking of NATO?
Forcing the UN to split their forces between Ukraine and Greenland....
Totally not what a Russian asset would do.

Both are a threat with violence and war to independent states, let there be no mistake.
This should not just be condemned politically by every other country, they should boycot the usa
Translation:
Canada would probably put up a fight, and bullies only pick on those too weak to resist.

If we need Greenland so bad how is it we’ve been just fine leaving them the fuck alone since forever?
