    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.

      What’s his wife doing coming all the way from Alberta to Minnesota? She should stick to Montana like the rest of em.

      Trump doesn’t want Canada to actually be a 51st state. He is just running cover for the incoming Canadian government to destroy what’s left of their single payer healthcare and anything else slightly good about the place

      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

        I think the long history of animosity between Russia and Ukraine makes things a little different there.

            I mean, I don’t think you can deny post the collapse of the USSR, at lot of Ukrainians have embraced anti-Russian attitudes. Sure a lot of that is manufactured by the west, but it’s still there. And yes there is some anti-Ukrainian sentiment amongst Russians as well, even if you can argue some of that is justified by Ukrainian Nazi collaboration.

                Fair.

                Regardless I don’t think that dynamic exists between Canada and the US.
