Attempted invasions of Canada, Greenland, and/or Panama would likely be costly, bloody debacle. Especially Canada. Even if we did take Canada, we could never hold it for long. It's just too big. Even if all the US troops from around the world were recalled, there's not enough and they're exhausted anyway. The logistical load would be immense and there's no chance of surprise. The US would need to start the draft again and it takes years to train troops on our high tech weapons.

Meanwhile, the Canadians would have both home field advantage and intimate knowledge of our systems and tactics. Meanwhile, Article 5 of NATO could be activated and the UK and EU could come in on the Canadian side.

Then we have Panama, which could easily become the next Vietnam. We all know how that worked out. 🙄 An attack on Greenland (as it's a Danish territory) could also provoke a NATO response.

Some tactical geniuses we've got. 🙄

Now he's claiming the 1908 treaty which demarked the northern border is valid. Jeezuz.

He is also attacking out two nations' water agreements which is personal for me as a resident of Michigan right in the middle of the largest fresh water resource on the planet! The Great Lakes Compact is a law that protects the Great Lakes from water depletion. It was signed into law in 2008 by the eight Great Lakes states, the U.S. Congress, and President George W. Bush. It prevents water from being siphoned out of the Great Lakes Basin so as to not be sent to places like Kansas or Texas.
