      Canada also has plans for if America ever invades them.

      But why would they? Let some other country mine resources that you buy at a steal.

        I actually have a crackpot theory that Trump’s little attempt to buy Greenland (yeah, that happened) was really part of a plan Putin had dictated. And that Putin was trying to align USA+Greenland, Russia, and then Canada. Which is like 25% of Earth’s land mass.

        I base it on nothing more than maps and stuff.

        Like if Putin is trying to play RISK…

          Another crackpot theory I’ve always had is that Trump always sent tweets out around 3am because that’s midday in Moscow and when he got his direction from Putin.

          I think it was more regarding the strategic importance of the emerging northwest passage arctic shipping route.

          Apparently Russia regularly invades the far north. Which is why alert is way the hell up there.

          Someone can correct me because I’m probably wrong.

            Incursions aren’t the same thing as an invasion.

            Russia can’t even hold ground in a neighbouring country, they aren’t going to be able to hold ground on another continent LOL.
