MODERATORS
The Margaret Thatcher of the US.
It’s a little different:
Thatcher fucked the kids.
Donald Trump fucks kids.
Maggie the milk snatcher vs. Donnie the Diddler.
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American citizens. Why would he add the equivalent of another California to the voting population. No Canadian will ever cast a vote in favor of the political party that took their country from them.
What version of statehood is he envisioning here?
The scariest part here is that the Republicans are acting, in every way, like they will never be subject to a legitimate vote again.
They already answered this question. They would use procedural rules to prevent Canadian votes from mattering, the same as they have done in the US in many states.
There is no way, in hell, that Trump plans on making Canadians into American voters ~~citizens~~.
We'll be like Guam or Puerto Rico.
It's only rumours so far, but according to the new president nobody is going to vote ever again, soo

I thought that's the plan?!

I could start WWIII, I can see that happening
Don't you love trump?
The fact that he's even entertaining this is insane. He needs to be removed from office. Fuck the media for reporting on it like this is just one side of an argument that makes any kind of sense.
Trump sounds more like Putin every hour.
Only if that kid was a better shot.
Both are a threat with violence and war to independent states, let there be no mistake.
This should not just be condemned politically by every other country, they should boycot the usa
Why is he so obsessed with Greenland?
Cause Peter Thiel (billionaire) wants to build a billionaire's bunker there for the apocalypse.
Mineral resources, especially since the ice is melting. They don't believe in global warming but they accept that the ice cap is melting. Then there are fishing rights around it. Finally it would control a chunk of the arctic ocean at a time when the north ice cap is melting.
They believe in global warming. They just say they don’t because they’re lying psychopaths who would kill millions for their own gain.

Easy target from his perspective. Would draw Nato resources away from Ukraine, so his boss would be pleased.
When Trump does something incomprehensibly useless from an American perspective, always ask "What's in it for Putin?" and you may find you get answers.
Theres a few reasons but it would be a huge military advantage, not that I agree with it

US could do that, sure.
But I bet it'd quickly find out just how much of its power, safety and bravado is due to being located in a geographically safe and isolated area with no real hostile armies trying to end them from the other side of the border.
Just how much of that willingness to fight comes from invading foreign underdeveloped territories across the sea, with little chance for the fight to make its way back to US cities and US civilians.
Easy to start fights from the comfort of a distant home, sending only military lives into the far away battlefield.
Something Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East can't claim, as they have to contend with potentially bad neighbors due to all sorts of reasons.
Go ahead, poke the bear, FAFO.

I consider the US our enemy. Even if we come to an agreement at this point, it's the duty of every Canadian to backstab the US when such an opportunity arises. There can no longer be peaceful co-existence unless the US is split apart. Every Canadian employed by an american employer should start stealing IP and sabotaging operations. This is just the beginning.

Bullies don't attack people they're scared of.
Damn right. Cause the US would deputize 40 million insurgents both in and out of Canada if they ever tried.

Put NATO forces there so the US would invoke the mutual defense clause.
US Sends Troops to Greenland to Defend it From US Troops
Or see how fast they withdraw from NATO and form a new alliance.
According to Article 13 of the 1949 NATO treaty, members can declare their withdrawal, but the document does not provide for a member to be expelled. The only measure the treaty provides to sanction serious violations of the alliance's principles is a joint decision by the other member states to restrict or suspend cooperation.

"Something could happen"? Motherfucker, you either make it happen or not. It's not something that's bestowed upon us from the sky
