    Never. He completely underestimates how much Canadians love being Canadian. I’d eat grass for the rest of my life and live outdoors - before I’d give up being Canadian.

    Not directed at you, OP — but unwanted “annexation” is invasion and we should use the real words even if they frighten us.

      No, it is not. Invasion is a military incursion. Annexation is not a military incursion. If one sounds less bad than the other, you’re reading that in. People aren’t minimizing by referring to annexation and invasion as different things.

      He probably doesn’t know the difference between conquering and annexing. I wish I was kidding but it might be true.

        He pals around with Danille Smith, Kevin O’Leary, and folks from lil PP’s team. So it’s not entirely surprising that someone as stupid as Trump would think that Canadians are on board with this idea. His personal experience validated it.

        Exactly. He calls himself a king. He couldn’t beat a child in a game of chess, but like Napoleon he will only taste dust and blood in the end.

        They have forgotten as close as they are to us, we are to them.

        Washington’s ego has been so inflated by her victories in the Middle East she is just as ignorant and stupid as the Russian leadership was to belive they could simply annex a massive country with minimal force.

        America is creating a nightmare of her own making on both her borders. Only a fool would simultaneously open two fronts at once, alas…

    Europe stands with Canada. This situation sucks so much. I hope France sends some nukes to extend the so called umbrella.

    “Deny and justify”

    The comparisons made between Russia’s attack and the plays that trump has been making should worry everyone.
