And here I was, thinking it would take Trump a few years to get around to the autocratic idea of annexing Canada to “free” it from the “woke cancel culture mob.”
Man, have I been naive.
Now, obviously, at the moment, Trump’s desire to make Canada — all of fucking Canada — the 51st State is beyond stupid and crazy on a number of different levels.
But history has a force of its own sometimes and lulz, who knows, Trump could be in desperate need for a major distraction at some point in the near future and what starts off as “we’ll force a union with Canada via a pressure campaign” turns into, “let’s bomb those fuckers.”
Will it come to that? I doubt it, but there is a greater than zero chance that Trump might decide to invade Canada at some point over the next eight or so years (I doubt he will ever leave office willingly.)
I still think this part of a broader plan on the part of Putin to destroy the post-WW2 liberal order. Ugh.
Anyway. Only time will tell, I suppose.
