Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

    You do know that “getting nukes” isnt a thing. right?

    A country suddenly trying to develop a nuclear weapons program is something other nuclear powers will absolutely attack one over.

    look at how many times Israel and the USA have nonchalantly bombed Iran,

    the USA will never, ever tolerate a country in the Americas getting a Nuclear weapon, they’ll Invade them like Panama or Grenada in a heartbeat.

    Hosting Nuclear weapons of another country is about the farthest you’ll get with that plan

      We already have hundreds of tons of plutonium sitting in our spent CANDU fuel. We have plenty of expertise on what to do with it. They say it would take a couple months for us to put an arsenal together; delivery would actually be the harder part.

      You’re forgetting North Korea did it slowly and painfully without provoking an invasion. The main reason not to do this is that proliferation is bad, and that we don’t want to be North Korea. Hosting or just generally having an agreement with a nuclear power would be much preferable.
