via GIPHY (the sign for idiot)
Oh, today's news. The incoming US Liar-in-Chief continues to muse about annexing Canada...hence the sign above. (Insert eye roll here.)
Historians may know that Americans tried this once before: the War of 1812. And yes, some argue this war was just a leveraging technique against Britain. Considering US history, that's understandable. But the outcome? Pretty much nothing, although the Canadians (technically referred to as British loyalists at that time), burned The White House in retaliation for US troops burning a portion of York (present-day Toronto). Oh, and there was an unintended outcome: it galvanized those British Loyalists and helped forge a Canadian identity. (Insert maple leaf here.)
Is today's news another leveraging technique? Probably...but this time more for his amusement, I guess? Something else he obviously doesn't understand or care about: since the 1800s, US & Canadian citizens have shared a border with no major conflicts, whatsoever. We've been friends for centuries, supporting each other in world conflicts. Remember 911? To me, that's more important than today's anti-democratic pissing-contest nonsense, likely to be continued for the next four years ad nauseum. Sigh. Dear US friends, hang in there.
Also, GARDYLOO.

@DBS: I'll give an example. Years ago he said shooting hypersonics into clouds to make it rain. Sounds nuts. BUT He was talking about a briefing on long range missiles (military briefing) that are now possible. This is why Israel is creating a buffer zone. As is EU when it's permitting countries like Rumania into the EU.
No one cares about human lives lost at the moment.
Thank you for the summarized history. Don't dismiss it as rambling. He means something, the trick is to know what. Not good. Just not good. The world needs restabilization right now not a destruction of world trade, which gave us peace (mostly).
Staying well informed will be increasingly more difficult. None of that will happen nor is he going to try. He is going to bully those countries for natural resources. Profit margins will be increased. Cost of living will go up. Panama has very fair prices for transport of goods.insulting them is a bad idea.
I'm busy filling my GARDYLOO pot right now!
Is the orange one serious or does he just enjoy poking the bear? Canada, Greenland, Panama, Mexico, UK have all been insulted/ridiculed one way or another and we're barely into the second week of January.
I'd give half the U.S. to Canada if that meant you guys took him, too.
He’s such an asshat.
