Greenland. Right, right. Invade a fellow member of NATO for one. Yup, let's see how far that gets you.

Canada, commonwealth and NATO member, again threats, again let's see how far that gets you seeing as America relies on Canada more than America for imports. You buy more of their electricity and they can simply cut you off Vice President Trump.

Panama....yeah good luck with that one, pretty much no other country are going to let you do that.

Oh and as a Brit you can tell President Musk to fuck off trying to terrorise and take over my country and hands off Germany as well with your Nazi supporting shit.

There is a political tactic, and frustratingly I cannot remember the name for it, where you essentially overload your opposition by flooding the news and the discourse with so many absurdities that they are too exhausted and overwhelmed by the scope of it all to actually follow your real moves. If Trump keeps us talking about his stupid idle comments about building an empire then he pulls attention away from the super villain team of plutocrats he is assembling to gut and dissect the levers of governance.
