    Trump is really ramping up the rhetoric on a Canadian/American war. I think such a thing makes an immediate civil war very likely.

    I still think he doesn’t intend a Canadian/American war. I think the dual purposes are manipulating markets as part of pumping and dumping stocks for the oligarchs, and promoting instability in the West for Putin. But a Canadian/American war would be a ton of instability in the West, so maybe

      I don’t see anything like that ever happening in the near future.

        To be clear I didn’t mean the rhetoric makes it likely, I mean an attack on Canada makes it likely. I think and hope that the rhetoric is market manipulation, and largely empty.

        Whether that changes your opinion, idk.
