Canada also could turn off the power that goes over the border. Americans not being able to charge their phones to watch more TikTok will probably do the trick.

I think that would just be a pretext to annex Canada much like civil disobedience in the US would be a pretext for martial law and entrenching his position. As a Canadian: nothing polite to say about the USA going forward.

A US invasion of Canada would be militarily successful but result in absolute nightmare chaos. There would be a global move away from US trade, financial, and military cooperation; you'd see tons of rearmament and new nuclear weapons states; the US military would lose its logistical network as countries kicked out bases; the global economy would crash; there'd be a supply chain fire worse than 2021-2 as trade shut down; financial systems would get set on fire as the dollar lost reserve currency status and on and on and on.

I don't think it's likely to happen but that is what I also said about a tariff trade war with Canada until recently. The actions here aren't rationale.

the moves away from the US are already being discussed in cabinet rooms all over the world

countries will not want military bases from a nation that threatens annexation, will not want their media companies broadcasting to their citizens, will not want to buy their weapons, and will not want their financial system dependent on them

the US just handed the world to the Chinese

on a platter

This is why so many of us spent so much time trying to convince our friends and family that Trump 2.0 is dangerous and will shatter the current world order. I am sorry to all of our allies who are going to be hurt by this.

> shatter the current world order

Meet the new oligarchs, same as the old oligarchs.

in terms of being attacked, the NATO collective defence treaty makes no distinction between being attacked by members and external attackers

annexation of Canada would trigger Article 5 against the US

Let’s hope that mass civil unrest results in the complete removal of this entire administration and their ideology.

>Nothing is going to shut down this tomfoolery quicker than...

Or would it just turn into a shooting war then?

Trump is the type to threaten to fucking nuke Toronto.
