    However feasible or not any of this is, at this point we have to acknowledge that trump is dead serious about it. It seems unfathomable to a normal person, but he’s not normal and there can be no doubt he wants to do it. He’s a megalomaniac who wants absolute power, wants to be like Putin and invade other countries. And he has many eager enablers to come up with plans.

      Do you think that the people in the army are going to execute his command if he orders an invasion of Canada?

      You don’t think the vast majority are going to consciously object? We both have so many friends and family on both sides, i doubt they’d ever even leave their bases.

        During the election cycle he said “I want generals like Hitler’s generals” because in his previous administration all his military officials expressed too many concerns about his decisions.

        At this point I don’t know that the people that would say no are even still there. He’s purging the government of dissidents. We have to prepare for the possibility that they will go through with it.

          I doubt very much he can remove the whole chain of command to replace them with his people. And even if that happens even the lowest of soldiers won’t go ahead with an invasion. They’d have to recruit every god damn redneck there is. Like what Russia is doing. And don’t think for a second the rest of the country are gonna stay idle if that ever even happens.

        One soldier is one to many, but there will be many who do follow the orders. Likely more who would not.
