<In one treaty, the U.S. annexed the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming. It subsequently illegally invaded Indigenous territory in the west.
>Canada could be next — perhaps not immediately as the 51st state, but quite possibly as a U.S. territory that would deny Canadians any voting rights for Congress or the presidency, allow only some autonomy and make questions of citizenship ambiguous. The constitutional architecture exists in the U.S. to make it happen.
<That’s the wrong reading. How Trump could make good on the threat can be found in the U.S. Constitution. There is both potential and precedent for the U.S. to acquire territory through cession or subjugation.what is the chance this happens in practice? How does NATO figure into this?

Thats if he has a bunch of secret miliary factories tucked away somewhere and still manages to maintain enough power and support in the middle of rolling black outs and food riots. Canada isnt iraq its right next door and the U.S empire isnt going to be able to pull off the
>worry not citizens, consuming wins the war here while our boys and girls win the war over thereThe last war absent of treats for the American people was like the civil war. Going to be hard to convince americans to be living like extras in cold mountain to kill our neighbors north. I wont doubt trumps stupidity but I doubt he could even get the support to launch an invasion in the first place. If he did the most likely outcome would be a rapid descent into civil war. One where I guess Trump and a random assortment of states with populations less than some counties in L.A. States that are in the middle of multiple crisis, bird flu, measle outbreaks, tainted milk, yearly climate disasters, collapsing expensive car centric infustructure and likely facing their own internak civil wars. So trump and lets say Texas and Florida successfully maintain Christian shria law in the cities and keep the infustructure running. Itll be that, Israel and the trump state vs the whole world.
>>2246233Liberals actually believe Trump will fuck over every major US-Canada multinational over a war 60 miles from our border and turn Toronto into Baghdad.
This is what happens when you have no understanding of Capital Acummulation.
>>2246243> Too many peopleI see so overpopulation is when the number reaches
THE BAD NUMBER (undefined) and then its 'over'populated.
Meanwhile Malthus:
> The happiness of a country does not depend, absolutely, upon its poverty, or its riches, upon its youth, or its age, upon its being thinly, or fully inhabited, but upon the rapidity with which it is increasing, upon the degree in which the yearly increase of food approaches to the yearly increase of an unrestricted population.It's because of linear growth of resources you absolute fucking mongrel. Did you fail every class you ever took?
>>2247515>40% of Canadas total GDP is import/export trade with their neighbor to the south and trade with Canada makes up 4% of the American GDPIf the Americans had competent leadership then you'd be right, but they don't. Trump is currently sabotaging trade relations with the entire world, which is obviously hurting their own economy and giving Europe and China a stronger incentive for closer trade relations with Canada.
>It's cute that Canadians still think they're going to have public healthcare yet alone a social safety net in this scenarioBut we won't get them as part of the US either, so what's the incentive to accept annexation?
>>2247687Trump intuits the dialectic:
“Canada and the United States, that would really be something,” he said. “You get rid of that artificially drawn line, and you take a look at what that looks like, and it would also be much better for national security.”
