Ain't gonna happen
Trump wants Canada for whatever reason it is and he won't let go. I fully expect him to threaten (and execute) with military actions if Canada doesn't capitulate
Maybe a cynical point of view but we're talking about idiots with access to nukes that won't give up
Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it's actually pretty "rational". I don't want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.
Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.
It's dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there's some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.
They can have most of that with a sovereign Canada as an ally. If they try to take that by force, it will end up like Afghanistan. But 100x worse. All their little plans will be sabotaged into oblivion by guerrilla warfare, and their own civil war it will cause. It will trigger the fall of the American Empire
Thats cute. Lol
