    It’s not like Trump’s desires are a secret or anything. He outright talks about Canada joining the US almost daily, and throws in some threats about Greenland too every so often too. It is just how Trump works - he assumes everything is his for the taking until someone more powerful than him says no. The prick can’t even hold tariffs for a few days before powerful CEO’s call him and tell him to knock it off.

    But as pointed out in the link: It would be the last thing the Trump admin does. The US would quickly succumb to civil war as every member of NATO and Canada’s military partners swarm to defend it and the rebelling US states. The US, as it stands today, would effectively be destroyed.

      I don’t think the world is that altruistic.

      Americans tend to do what they’re told, so I wouldn’t expect anything other than thoughts and prayers from within the US. Sure, there would be a Million Maple March in Washington, but nothing would come of it.

      I doubt our NATO partners would rush to put their soldiers in harms way. The US is a nuclear superpower that says it’s their ally - that’s both a carrot and stick getting them to sit out. I don’t think they’ve even offered much condemnation of Trump’s “51st state” comments.

      Yes but it is the MAGAits who own the guns, in this civil war. Sure once NATO comes down on the US poop gets real but I am still concerned, we will see the next US civil war soon, hears hoping the buffalo party does not decide to welcome them here.

        Everyone ownes guns instead US. Not just the right. The left has seen this coming for some time and have armed up. It will be a complete shit show if they start killing each other.

        That being said, I believe Civil War is inevitable in the US. It’s about to boil over.

          Prior to Trump taking office the first time I read the literature on a second US civil war, most of the literature said it is not if it is when and it was all published prior to Trump rolling down the escalator. I thought Luigi was going to be what actually started their next civil war but it looks me now that it will be Musk, however Luigi’s sentencing may also be a boiling point. I so want Luigi to be found innocent but I am not holding my breath!

        There’s plenty of left/Left/Dem Muricans who own guns, just most of them aren’t the “have enough guns and ammo to equip half a battalion” type of gun owner.

          They are also silent, they don’t feel the need to lay each gun out on their back deck and take a pic for xitter with their children in the middle of all the guns

      So far, waiting for Americans to do the right thing in the face of madness has not payed off for anyone. I think it’s dangerous to expect them to start.
