“The cost of war is serious and it is absolutely disgusting for Donald Trump to float the idea of it for his own personal political gain.”

        My money is on Canada.

        • Nice, desirable natural resources like fresh water, lumber, and oil.
        • Plenty of non-immigrant immigrants to feed the legal slavery prison industrial complex.
        • Control over arctic trade passages.

        And he’s been laying the propaganda and groundwork for months now:

        • “joking” about Canada being the 51st state.
        • Claiming Canada is the source of illegally imported Fentanyl, despite overwhelming evidence that almost all of it comes from Mexico.
        • Harsher tariffs than other allied countries, using Fentanyl as the justification for it.
        • Factually incorrect statements about unfair and “illegal” trade restrictions imposed by Canada.
        • Claims about Canada “taking advantage” of the country in regards to national security and a trade deficit that ignores the population and GDP difference.

          Oh for sure - all the Trunp rhetoric is pretext for war on Canada. Luckily there’s quite a few things Americans don’t know about us - and we’re gonna keep it that way until the last possible minute.

      Mexico, Canada or civil war. Just be as belligerent as possible to everyone and see who takes the bait.

      I’ll bet in private he’s going nuts that no one has so far. “What the hell do I gotta do to these people?!”
