Hard disagree, respectfully. Lightning invasion? Sure, maybe. But holding the territory? Forget it. Also, such a military operation wouldn’t be solely up to Trump or his inner circle. Not only would it require buy-in across the services, but also from the general public. I could very well see such an invasion triggering civil war and rupture in the US (you think Minnesota wouldn’t switch sides in such a situation?).

Also, let’s not forget NATO Article 5 (which is where the Ukraine analogy apart). We Canadians are under a nuclear umbrella already, and France is likely to offer even more direct support, if not the UK (WTF, guys?). You want MAD? That’s how you get MAD.

I appreciate your thoughtful and informative post, but as someone potentially in the bullseye of such an eventuality, I’m not losing sleep. Yet.

Well, I hope this douchebag enjoys his eventual prison labour. He’s got the right attitude for it.

LOL

Love it!

They gotta do something with all those data centres once the AI bubble pops. Pop pop!

Also Saint Pierre and Miquelon!

This really needs to get widely seen. It is indeed hopeful, in a good way.

Nope. We’re done.
