"It's so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping, 'Oh, Canada,' the national anthem, I love it. I think it's great. Keep it. But it'll be for the state."
I hope that people in the Pentagon remember that following illegal orders is a crime, too, and you cannot be forced to do so. Something established in Nürnberg when they took care of the Nazis.
An order to attack Canada, Mexico, Greenland, or Panama would basically be such an illegal order.
This is not the first time the US has made up bullshit in order to attack a country: WMDs in Iraq, communism in Vietnam, Russia said there were nazis in Ukraine to justify that war. The military only needs a lie and then it’s not illegal anymore. The lies are already circulating. “canada is communist” “canada hurts the US”
You’re going to have a hard time getting Americans to rally behind shooting at the polite white people next door. I really don’t think even the Republican propaganda machine could make that happen.
Then you will never cease to be amazed by the depths of Trump fanaticism, because they absolutely would fall in line. It’s not the Republican machine, merely a vestigial organ to the Trump cult that has taken over its host.

There are plenty of infinitely dumb trumpers who will blindly follow whatever he says, though. I’d bet a majority of the people in the military support him.
That’s comparatively very easy. Americans instinctively mistrust all governments, and especially their own. America was founded on hatred and mistrust of government, and those roots run deep. But we have no actual beef with Canada and the Canadian people. And sure, the Republican propaganda machine can try to invent one, but I just don’t think it will stick. It’s easy to target the scary poor brown foreigners coming in from the southern border, but people just won’t believe you when you try to demonize Canadians, because they’re basically the same as us culturally.
Most people aren’t freaking out right now because they don’t take Trump literally. You’d think that they would have learned better by now, but one of Trump’s legitimate talents is that he has an almost supernatural ability to get people to selectively believe what he says: they believe the things they like and think he’s just bullshitting about everything else. If something actually happens with Canada, people will wake up fast.
Unfortunately, I think a Panama invasion is more likely, and I actually doubt that most Americans will be so upset in that situation.
The Republican propaganda machine has already convinced a bunch of people who grew up during the cold war that Russia is now the good guys. It’ll take some time, but I don’t doubt they could do it.

Yet Trump was able to get his followers to enthuaiastically attack an American institution of government…

Lol the Pentagon isn’t afraid to fake evidence to support an invasion. Remember the aluminium tubes? Remember yellow cake uranium? I remember.

When have illegal wars ever stopped the Americans?
I’m sorry but let’s not forget that Iraq was a thing.
I’m not sure it’s technically illegal, and I’m very doubtful that the current judiciary would find it so. But it is unconscionable. And insane.
If troops do illegal shit, the U.S. judicial system is one of several places they could possibly be held accountable.
They won’t be held accountable in USA with him as supreme leader.
It’s not technical illegal at all. Nothing he does is. The Supreme Court made him king.
… And you think the trump government cares about some German town (as trump would explain that)?
He has the memory of a cod and the backbone of a slug, this is all bluster and he’ll cave the moment anyone he knows tells him otherwise.
