Once the US is at war with 31 NATO countries, having a free Canada — a NATO country — on the northern border suddenly becomes a security risk.
I sincerely hope the American people stops the fascist before he triggers World War 3.
@randahl I was rolling my eyes about Greenland last year until I looked at the map. If he has Greenland, Canada is surrounded. I expect the Canadians will fight very hard not to be annexed, and I'm not sure Trump would be successful, but it would be awful in the meantime, and he could easily cut off a lot of trade options.
The same map made me realize that the Venezuela gambit is also serving his ambitions in Mexico. He's taking the Monroe Doctrine more seriously than anyone ever has before.

@randahl I'm curious what the mood is like on various US military bases throughout NATO? Are service members getting their asses kicked by the locals if they go off-base? When I was in the Navy, that was definitely a thing we were aware of when we travelled.

If Trump invades Greenland on a Monday, all American assets in Europe will be frozen by Friday. Come Monday they'll be seized.

@randahl You give him too much credit for thinking. He just wants to rule everything from Greenland to Venezuela (the Technate).

@randahl The talking heads here in Canada postulate that after Greenland, Trump will make the same arguments to take the artic archipelago, at which point we'll be surrounded on all four sides, just waiting for the inevitable final takeover.

When I was in high school, in Canada, my friends and I (bunch of geeks) were writing dystopian sci-fi set in a Canada invaded by the US. I just hope it won't reach a point where I can say "we predicted it".

This wouldn't be the first time that Canada has had to plan for counter-attacks.

@randahl@mastodon.social That's "senile fascist with probable fronto-temporal dementia".

Canada need not worry.
I'm sure Trump will be satisfied once he has the Sudetenland, and we will have peace for our time.

@randahl not forgetting 5 countries in the EU who aren't in NATO after he attacks the territory of an EU nation.
@nomenloony very true. Plus all the allies.

@randahl I'm totally ok with Canada sacking the White House again if we attack them again.

@randahl Well he’s going to war with NATO, and he’s testing the allies’ resolve by picking on Greenland first.
