If a US incursion into Canada or Greenland or Panama were accompanied by a slick “Desert Storm” type operation name, fancy computer graphics on the news, 24 hour “remember the troops” messaging and maybe a false flag operation or two, I can’t help but feel that a majority or at least near majority of Americans would fall in line.

@Jgmeadows Echoes of the middle east....seems like they are making a pretty good run for it.

@SnowshadowII That is it exactly; the American military playbook is well established and ready to go at a moments notice. The US is an innately militaristic nation.

@SnowshadowII @Jgmeadows But also echoes of Ukraine. Remember when Russia were the second strongest army in the world and were going to get to Kyiv in 3 days? Putin has managed so far to keep his people in line, but he disastrously miscalculated. His soldiers found out Ukrainians did not see them as liberators.

@NovaNaturalist @Jgmeadows

Yes, unsurprising Trump takes the playbook from Putin and runs with it.

@loran_hayden Maybe they’ll call it “Operation Beaver Dam”

@Jgmeadows I'm 100% certain that divvying up Canada is why Putin and Trump want to dismantle NATO.

@loran_hayden Agree 100%. Like the Hitler/Stalin non-aggression pact before Hitler turned on the USSR in WWII.

Nah. Maybe if this idiot had kept cool and waited to develop a pretext he'd have a chance. But now after he's been caterwauling about these countries? Nope. This fool's incinerating his political power at a record pace.

@jawarajabbi That is sort of my point; US foreign policy and action is usually for domestic consumption, and burnishing the belief in American military might with the occasional foreign adventure is a great deflection from domestic incompetence.

@Jgmeadows

Agree. He'll need to find another country to attack without provocation is all I'm saying. The American people are pretty uninformed and gullible but I'd wager they've all heard about his Greenland bullshit.

@jawarajabbi Hw certainly doesn't have provocation to attack Canada, Greenland, or Panama but that doesn't seem to be holding him back, at least in terms of the language the is using.
