Behind Closed Doors, Trudeau Says Trump Threat to Take Over Canada Is Real

21. I'm not convinced.

First, a non-action is not precedent.

Second, while the justifications for the invasion of Iraq are questionable (to be charitable), the invasion and subsequent occupation were supported by a coalition of several countries. Moreover, the goal was not the annexation of Iraq.

There is no conceivable justification for an invasion of either Canada or Greenland and the US would surely be acting alone. If Trump invades Canada or Greenland, the long-term consequences will be very bad for the US. When the chickens come home to roost, the search for people to hold responsible will begin.

I doubt Trump would be prosecuted by the US under the SCOTUS gift of presidential immunity. The international community would be unlikely to gain custody of Trump for prosecution. However, officials other than Trump and military officers do not share that immunity.
