I still think it would have been a decent gesture on our part not to hoot the Canadian anthem, it could have sent a decent message,and isolate the Pres. comments. Tariff issues, defense spending,fake fentanyl crossing the border issues(if Canada was supplying the only fentanyl 99% of users would be in withdrawal) doesn't condone trashing/belittling a sovereign country(a friend who assisted on 9/11) or calling a Prime Minister the governor to pile on the 51st state jab. Between this, steamrolling Ukraine, and the Vance "embrace the guasi-Nazi party" Germany tour I hope Americans are modifying any international travel plans.

You'd think that for just ONE moment the weight of the seat he occupies and the DIGNITY embraced by all his predecessors who sat in it would give pause or lend a sense of responsibility,but he's just a PUNK
i felt it was a direct threat to canada personally and i will not/ would not stand for it even tho i now live in america,
I think canada is taking that shit entirely too lightly

As a lover of peace, I'd not considered this perspective - interesting analysis that I hope never comes to fruition.
"As President Donald Trump relentlessly threatens to annex Canada, some Canadians are worried that an American invasion could one day become a reality.
How would that scenario play out? Looking at the sheer size of the American military, many people might believe that Trump would enjoy an easy victory.
That analysis is wrong. If Trump ever decides to use military force to annex Canada, the result would not be determined by a conventional military confrontation between the Canadian and American armies. Rather, a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States."

The whole world will collectively start alienating America and its people. Unfortunately for the American man/woman on the street, they are going to feel this. To tell you the truth I travel extensively on the international circuit, ME, Asia, Europe, and the feeling is there and rising. I feel for the Americans who did not vote for this, but unfortunately you all will feel the pain. During the gulf war you lot wore Canadian flags on your back packs in Middle East because you were too shit scared to be identified as Americans. The world will no longer happily accept you, no matter what your stupid politicians tell you. You will also learn that the world will not be bullied by your military might any more.
Unfortunately this is utterly stupid diplomacy and it hurts everyone.

Canada, along with the US, was a founding member of NATO. If the US invades Canada it would trigger Article 5. This would end up with the US facing the full force of all NATO nations. They know how we fight, our troop numbers, what we fight with et cetera having fought alongside us since 1949. This would not end well for the US.
At minimum, he's a narcissistic sociopath. Clinical psychologist Mary Trump said an extensive evaluation is needed to determine his mental disorders. In this vid she gives him a chipmunk voice and calls him as a democratically elected asshole.

I'm not sure they would actually step in though - not sure how anyone could get troops to Canada when US would control the seas. Maybe if they did it in advance

The American voters started this, they the only ones who can stop this madness. I wonder how many of Trumps support base even know what goes on in the world outside of the USA.

I think you could be right as there haven't been many politicians saying it should be taken seriously. A few, but not many. I mean it's the felon, so it's difficult to say for sure. Almost don't want to think of it as a possibility.
I don't hate the US, quite the opposite really. The only thing I do dislike are some of the gun laws. I have owned guns, but our laws up here generally don't allow anything near "concealed carry".
But, yeah, isn't happening anyway, so I'm not going to worry yet, lol.
When I heard that ridiculous comment my eyes rolled and almost didn't return to their proper setting,no bananas grow here but it was banana Republic ranting by generalisimo Donald, reaching new levels of depravity. What I've noticed is that he spews the latest/hottest BS that the last lackey, jackoff riding his coattails puts in his ear. Greenland ? He had to have been told that,as if he knew anything about Greenland, same w/ the ridiculous Gulf of Mexico statements,the only geography he knows is how to drive to the next hole in a golf cart.
I REALLY can't believe that this is ACTUALLY even on the table and STILL believe MAGA insanity has not penetrated the US military sufficiently to even consider following orders to do so,we are talking outright mutiny occurring here hopefully,then 25th amendment or impeachment to follow. BUT every time I've thought this kook had finally DONE IT and he's finished now, which is multiple occasions, people have failed to step up, things occur, his spin/alternative fact machine cranks up. There never seems to be a bridge to far, the most undeserved KARMA I've ever witnessed. Post Jan. 6 ALOT of people on RIU (me included) had this guy as HISTORY and we're waiting for the perp walk w/all the pending legalities, a thank God he's gone sigh of relief of we dodged a bullet as a country, that HE'S OVER. Him sitting in the Oval office in 2025??? reeking chaos,signing enough crazy executive orders to cause writer's cramp, surrounded by a genuflecting staff, ELON of DOGE w/a chainsaw, and a radical cabinet while calling Zelenskey a dictator,Canada a 51st state, and talking grabbing Greenland and the Panama Canal using military force is literally a TWILIGHT ZONE feeling.
Hell, she trashed him and said he's a deranged,unstable,dangerous man w/psychotic delusions of grandeur BEFORE the election along a w/a posse of people waving the red flag AND STILL half this country is down w/him and his antics. I'm starting to think he's got a force field around him,voodoo, black magic,dark forces,IDK but it boggles the mind,surreal.
