    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.

      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.
