> it's not just Trump talking.

Yes it is. Where is the U.S. military mobilization to the northern border? Or against Panama or Greenland for that matter. You can't just invade a country, you need years of expensive logistical operations to move your troops and supply lines into place (the way Russia did before Ukraine and increasingly what China is doing against Taiwan).

So if we are to take Trump seriously, where is any evidence he is doing anything besides issuing wild threats for leverage in later trade talks?

> You don't underestimate words with such dire consequences.

Trump is dismantling the post world war 2 American led global order. I am taking this very seriously, I just don't tolerate people using Trump's statements as confirmation bias of their "The U.S. is just as bad" both side-isms. Or just downright celebrating the fall of the U.S. because they think a world where China and Russia do whatever they want is somehow better.

Global conflicts and wars of conquest by authoritarian states used to be normal, if we are returning to that era, we are all worse off.




Yes it is.

As I mentioned, it isn't. Do reply to my assertions if you wish. I'd be happy to respond to that.


> You're ignoring what I said

Is this just a game of copycat? You are asserting the US is actually planning a war against Canada, now is the time to cite your sources and proof of that claim.

Or take this game somewhere else.


The two of you both broke the site guidelines super badly in this thread. Not cool.

Please don't post in the flamewar style to HN, and please avoid tit-for-tat spats in the future. I know how hard it is to extricate oneself, but the only worthwhile thing to do is just stop.

"Copycat" makes no sense in any way, and I'm not interested in pushy rhetoric.

All of the things I said here are true:

Now, do you want to respond to my points, or are you still going to ignore them?
