“Canada called me a couple of weeks ago, they want to be part of it, to which I said, ‘Well, why don’t you just join our country. You become 51 — become the 51st state — and you get it for free,’” Trump told the assembled officials.
“So, I don’t know if that made a big impact, but it does make a lot of sense.”
Trump also claimed Canada is having “a hard time up there” because “as you know, with tariffs, everyone’s coming into our country.” The president then boasted about investment leaving Canada and other countries and going into the United States, pointing to automobile plants.
One of Canada’s prime defenses, and America’s too, is that it’s fucking massive dude. There is literally no amount of troops you can deploy that can effectively cover that much land, especially the northern reaches, which leaves ample space for guerrilla movements to form. Even if the US took the lower 100 miles, they’d have to deal with the fact that Northern Canada would never surrender and Southern Canada would never let it be a peaceful occupation. Good luck trying to find those guerrilla networks in several million square km of forest and mountains.
Yeah it’s huge, but like Russia, most of that is empty space. You don’t need to control that land. And it’s cold continental land, almost tundra, not the dense jungles of Vietnam.
And we know how to live on the land with very little. I will live outside in winter and eat dirt and ice before I cede one centimetre of land to fat fascist yanks. Amerikkkans can’t function without their Starbucks, SUVs, steady diet of McDonalds and medi-chairs to get around. So - enjoy a neverending insurgency fuckfaces. Aunties can poison wells too.
There is tundra and arctic, but there is Boreal Forest too.
