If the US takes Greenland and NATO doesn't respond Canada is next.
I don't think so. Taking over Greenland will look a bit like changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. US will say they now control Greenland, Denmark will say they don't. There will be no invasion because US already has a military base there. Denmark will not attack it because it would be foolish and pointless. US will probably say that Greenland residents can get US passports and establish some parallel administration. And then, at some point, when they want prove they actually own Greenland US will provoke some conflict. Maybe they will take control of the international airport or something. Denmark will back down and everyone will accept it's US territory while opposing it officially.
With Canada this will not work. They would have to actually invade it and I don't think they are there yet. Bombing of Mexico will happen first.
This is a distressingly realistic take. The vast majority of human beings don't want to be the one to start a fight, and the psychopath class that exists at all levels have used this generally agreeable human trait to leverage "I'm not touching you!" into fascist takeover because nobody wants to be the one to throw the first punch.
Maybe Canada needs a midnight swoop and kidnap Dump in the night and send him to prison for being a child rapist
Just it anyone has the final call for nukes and stuff, make sure you include Putin in the list - wouldn't want the filthy mastermind behind global rot and decay to not see justice before his untimely pants-shitting demise.
