Dump has threatened to use military force against Canada, Greenland, and Panama.
In general, over time SOME warfare has progressed from physical violence to economic assaults.
Maybe cyberwarfare with the erasure of bank accounts and disruption of water supplies, electricity, GPS, and transport -- with a side-course of internet psy-ops -- could be considered the next stage of development (I hesitate to call it an "evolution"😉.

@uzless saidI don't think President Stubby Fingers can play the piano, and I think it's unlikely he knows any level of judo.

@uzless saidHe said he wants Greenland too. Said he would not rule out military force to do it so he is just like Putin there. Trump is open to invading Greenland. With so few people there it would probably be easy to do.

No difference, but the USA has invaded countless countries. And most Americans do not have a problem with that because they believe they are invading for good reasons. To bring democracy to the world even though our government has overthrown democracies and replaced them with brutal dictatorships. And because I have the nerve to bring up facts like that I am a Putin loving communist that hates America even though I live in America. Sonhouse said so and he is always right and is never duped by propaganda. Only republicans and communists are.
@Metal-Brain saidThey probably really just meant "to bring capitalism to the world" for the sake of the capitalist aggregators.

@Arkturos saidCapitalism is all that existed before anything else. We have something different now because of something called progress. Capitalist aggregators want regression for self serving reasons is all.

Why can't capitalism and socialism coexist? Because socialism would make capitalism look bad, not the other way around. People would leave capitalist countries and migrate to socialist countries where they can get decent healthcare.
To prevent an exodus of people leaving capitalist countries to socialist countries the elites decided to stomp out socialism at every turn at any expense as if their maintaining power depended on it........because it does.
@uzless saidHe won't get Canada. Canada's a part of the Commonwealth, and old alliances die hard, Charlieboy won't let it happen. I daresay, push comes to shove, Britain would lend Canada a few quid, get her out of a tight spot.

Incidentally, I've not read this but someone told me today that Mister Trump wants America to join the Commonwealth? Anyone else heard this? Does the man on the New York omnibus want this?

T: Hey, you want Ukraine, I want Greenland. Let's make a deal.
P: OK, if you publicly back my story that Ukraine started the war -- ah-hmm, 'special police action ' -- I won't blink if you annex -- ah-hmm, adopt -- Greenland.
T: Deal. I want Panama, too. The Gulf of America, Canada, and Gaza, soon to be renamed the Trump Riviera.
P: Sure, take 'em. I don't care. Can I have Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria --
T: [cuts him off] You want all those sh_t- hole countries again?? Take 'em. Who gives a sh_ t? [laughs].
P: Well, what do we give Xi then? We can't leave him out in the cold.
T: TAIWAN !
P & T together: BWAAhahahahahahha!

@Torunn saidTrump has a 3-yr.-old's concept that property consists in possession: 'what's mine is mine, what's yours is mine if it's not nailed down. What I can pry up is not nailed down.'
And it's not even his.
Lawyers will tell you that possession is 9 tenths of the law, but for Trump, the remaining % is merely a nuisance to be got round by any means, fair or foul.
Other countries aren't really countries for him, they are real estate temporarily in the wrong hands.
