President Trump said he would talk to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about making Canada the 51st state. But the president said he didn’t expect it to get to the point of using military force — though he wouldn’t commit to the same for Greenland.

“Something could happen with Greenland, I’ll be honest,” Trump said in an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday.  He said that “we need that for national and international security,” but he added “I don’t see it with Canada. I just don’t see it.”

    I mean, all of the might of United States military had trouble with the Afghani insurgents. Now, just imagine Canadian insurgents who speak the same language, look exactly like you, and know your history better than you do. No city in the continental United States will be safe.

      Nevermind that there’d be about 70% of the population sympathetic to their situation. That’s a recipe for a lot of citizens sabotaging and/or helping them instead of us.

        Sympathetic?

        We share the same enemy, and most of the world has for centuries, time to watch the dixiecrats pay.

      Everything you said, and the longest un defended border in the world. Imagine if the Taliban could drive to major US cities.

          And spoke perfect English and were undistinguishable from US citizens on sight. And numbered 40 million.
