Trump’s threats to Canada are not idle boasts and shouldn’t be taken as such. They call for a whole of society response.

    In a less stupid world, Canada/Europe allying with Russia instead of US is freedom for the colonies. It also means that Canada/NORAD protects the US, since Trump likes to complain about US protection of Canada, and that means US must pay for the privilege of NORAD. Buying nuclear defense from North Korea is the cheapest.

    A single nuclear detonation on Permean Bassin collapses the US economically. Their debt levels only gives them a few years anyway. The quest for Canada is mostly about diluting debt, IMO, rather than resources.
