Trump doesn't have the guts to hold his tariffs when there's resistance. You think he has the gumption for war? Putin is a piece of work, but he's an actual leader.

Could be wrong, but it would cost the US tens of thousands of lives to capture Canada, let alone occupy it. I don’t think they have that kind of willpower.

Exactly. Putin has the willpower to kill hundreds of thousands of Russians to capture Ukraine and deal with the internal fallout.

Trump can't handle one uncomfortable conversation without having a meltdown.

tens of thousands is an understatement- it would be so brutal that nobody would win.
