    I am getting more and more concerned about the troop pile up on our borders and this fuck wits rhetoric.

      I 100% get that, but I personally don’t think Trump or Hegseth are smart enough to pull off a military operation as complex as infiltrating Canada. To make matters worse (for them), many branches of the military seem to hate their guts.

      That said, I’m just some pacifist dope with almost no knowledge of this stuff. If an expert out there wants to scare the shit out of me, I’m ready to learn.

        No, but they are stupid enough to try it anyway.

        They could just run AI-generated war footage on Fox News. Sort of like “The Gulf War Did Not Happen” but much lower brow.

      Agreed, having forces concentrated so close to Vancouver and Toronto (via Portland and Chicago) is unsettling.
