As a U.S. citizen, I’m beginning to ask myself how to take more meaningful measures to help bring an end to this behavior. I’m not a political activist and generally try to mind my own business, but that mindset only worked when I felt I could trust the system to self-correct. It seems our judicial system can barely keep up, and Congress is doing next to nothing.

As in any region's system: pay attention, vote, donate, organize even protest. Not voting votes for the winner, which might not be what you want.

Depending on your state you vote for the winner regardless who you vote for since its winner takes all.

Canadian Prime Minister recently said that he stands by Canada’s NATO Article 2 and 5 obligations with our Eureopean allies. A subtle signal that war with United States is a possibility. Trump will use this as a pretext to not only take Greenland but to invade Canada as well. He has gone utterly mad. Congress needs to act. Yesterday.

The GOP controls congress and will do nothing. They've already caved and prevented any effort at restraint with respect to the Venezuela debacle.

Oh you didn't hear? They're also cancelling the midterms.

We are rapidly approaching the point where that isn’t enough.

I think we have to acknowledge the grievances of people who got us into this position in the first place and don't stop making those grievances and the tangible steps being taken to solve them known on every public platform available.

Has that one been kicked out from the homepage?

It’s a pure political discussion. It will get flagged by enough people who don’t want to see politics to remove it from the page.

How would a standard invasion work? The news about DoD preparing invasion plans for Greenland have an invasion done by Special Operations, not the infantry, armor and air. Special operations probably wouldn't work for the population of Canada.

After a short time, and some casualties, I think the US military would have real problems internally, not counting that popular support would disappear.
