My money is on Greenland in 2026. That land is small enough that America could conceivably take the whole place in one bite. Trump is a bully: he likes little people who are isolated, because he can violate them easily.
Canada and Mexico are large enough, that they can actually punch back and give the bully a bloody nose.
Taking greenland would help surround Canada and could be useful in intercepting shipping and flights from Europe if America did want to annex Canada.
Especially Canada. Could you imagine trying to secure the world's largest land border, when it's so easy for partisans to blend in and pass as locals? The terrorism would be off the charts. Especially if the Canadian government starts giving people access to military explosives and arms?
The way ICE is, just about anyone can claim to be a member of ICE and do whatever they feel like. If other nations decide to do stuff on American soil, they will have carte blanch to do as they will.
Why are we posting Fox News slop? Look at those fucking comments.
Because Trump goes mask off with them.
Lol I forgot YouTube HAD comments
Maybe he'll invade us during the World Cup
Beginning to think we should just cut the power to upstate NY during the next cold snap.
Let the southern bastards freeze in the dark.
Upstate NY is pretty much a southern state anyway. Place was full of Trump flags on lawns in 2022.

Where are the trump/epstein files?
The tepid response from other major powers will just embolened Trumpie.
The whole reason of invading Venezuela was about "narotics". The same thing that Trumpie has been railing on the past about Canada and Mexico.
Venezuela was just a test case.
Plenty of drugs come into Canada as well. Just look at the core of any town or city in Canada and you'll see the decay.
Donβt be daft he has regime changes in Cuba and Nicaragua to get to first. Mexico will just get increasing surgical strikes.
This time America invaded a smaller, weaker, and more or less isolated country, and kidnapped a not exactly liked dictator. It was a safe choice, and a test to see what the global reaction is. Though I'm sure the profits from Venezuela's oil will help recover from post-AI bubble recession.
Judging from the reactions, the operation was a major success. Next, the empire will attack a bigger, stronger and less isolated country, and kidnap its democratically elected president. Let's see how many times it can repeat this process. I'd rather not, but it looks like that's where we're going.
I don't even know what oil profits there will be. It'll cost tens of billions to refurbish the Venezuelan oil industry and while their oil reserves are massive, they're also extremely low quality and cost more to refine. And to what end? The US is a net oil exporter. Flooding the market with cheap Venezuelan oil will just crash the price and fuck up the domestic oil market.
Which I guess is the point, if the goal is to ultimately internally destabilize the US to allow tech bro feudalism to take over?

Large quantities of highly addictive lichen are now being imported illegally from Greenland. /s
I dare him to invade Canada. Not so easy when its a white nation and people actually care
Edit: this was sarcasm. Nobody cares when America bullies a nation of brown people, they do it all the time.
Also I look a lot more like Maduro than I do Trump if that helps
What does "white nation" have anything to do with it? Sounds like you definitely own a pointy white hat.
They phrased it terribly but I think their point was that it's easy for Americans to shrug off their illegal occupation of Venezuela, but when its closer to home and against a country that looks and speaks the same way they do, Americans might actually complain. But I don't even know at this point considering most Americans seem incapable of fighting back against their government
Yes most Americans are racist against brown people, but knowing us we could really easily be very racist towards Canadians too.
Problem is those same Americans are perfectly happy with deploying the National Guard to cities like Portland, DC, and Chicago.
Yes most Americans are racist against brown people,
Most Americans are as dumb as a brick but will be the first to tell you they're the smartest mother fucker in the room.
Ya see it's my lack of education that keeps my mind uncucumbered by the liberal lies, and able to think freely enough to hate anyone I'm told to instantly.
They're just too kind, right fellow American? And what's with the cheese curds and gravy in FREEDOM fries, amirite?!?
/s
I've got a friend who's a dual citizen of the US and Canada, white, had his brown, Canadian girlfriend with him, drove down to NYC with a Canadian license plate, and on their way back, some truck driver on country roads was giving him a hard time and flipping him fingers. Not sure if the truck driver saw the brown girlfriend, but I'd say it's beyond racist at this point; just dumb nationalists.

Because itβs one thing to annex a country with people who may look visibly different to average Americans.
But when you try and annex a country that looks very much the same, resistance will be everywhere and invisible.
That guy working next to Americans in the critical infrastructure project? Ya, heβs Canadian and pissed so heβs gonna do something about it.
No, is just aware that most Americans do.
Yeah my bad it was sarcastic. Canada has urged "all parties" to respect international law" after America has invaded a sovereign nation because Canadians love racism.
I really just meant that the status quo is not challenged by America invading a 'brown' country but a long time ally with close ties to other western countries? Thats a harder sell.
