No chance. We will just need to manufacture enough UAVs to kill anyone dare crossing the border. For illegal Indians, make sure to kill them twice or thrice.

European only complain when Trump is in but have no issue when a Democrat or generic republican is in.
How about they put their mouth where it is at instead of acting so tough behind the skirts of America. Trump at least is brave enough to call out their leeching.
Watching them bark loud pretending they are independent when they voted with America most of the time is rather infuriating to watch.
Recognize Palestine then. Declare those China separatists as terrorist and hand them over to a China. Take off those sanctions. Tough talk but no action.
The problem is that this is a very outdated model because essentially the current world is not about the constant scramble for resources, slaves, soldiers, and tribute, but about technology and intelligence and being exceptional from within.
For example, China adds one entire Australian GDP internally yearly, without any risks associated with conquest, and their own citizens get a corresponding rise in real wages since they are the only contributors to that rise of productivity within.
Also, the Roman Empire massively expanded territory mostly when they were still a young and healthy empire, in the early stages, not when they were terminally ill like the US today. Imagine justifying all that conquest when you have record homelessness, record inter-racial tensions, deepest political polarization, etc. It will only backfire, whatever you do. What realistically can happen is that the US gets bogged down in Mexico, and Panama, and then they still also decide to attack China, but in a worse position than before, because of their envy and fear. If you didn't observe this already, that's shame on you, the weaker the US gets the more they are hostile against China.
The thing is that they also benefit from the Western global hegemony, in certain areas, to a certain extent, so it is normal that they also feel like they support the US as the leader of that coalition naturally. However, it made sense a few years ago, but not anymore for sure.
The problem is that they are now essentially asked by Trump to contribute way, way more than what they actually receive from that joint collective Western global position. Or even before Trump, even since the War in Ukraine technically started they were totally suckers.
The current order is the US > UK > EU, in terms of who benefits the most from that collective position/perception. But in terms of who bleeds the most for that collective stance now, it turned out to be EU > UK > US. Totally inverted/unfair situation. This is how I see these things.
But what prevents them from dealing with this injustice is their almost theological belief in the shitiest political system in existence - their cancerous procedural democracy - that keeps their government perpetually weak to deal with anything, not to mention the US machinations.

Similar to Taiwan, although they're running the same type of propaganda that got Yoon elected on the island 24/7
央视网消息：中国地震台网正式测定：01月08日15时44分在青海果洛州玛多县（北纬34.79度，东经97.51度）发生5.5级地震，震源深度14千米。

Originally the pretext of Rome expansion is to settled those poor Romans first in Cisalpine Gaul and then to the rest of Gaul, Right now militarily the US is very formidable not a Hyper power like 15 years ago BUT still very capable. With these newly acquired territory rich in resources with small willing population, it will give the US a decade or more to sustain its empire until they had suck it dry, after that there are more room for expansion with Australia and New Zealand are willing to be a part of the empire.
Should have it play the Iranian nathional anthem during the process for maximum lolz
Not here for a normative debate on whether might makes right, but Americans, especially her domestic nationalists, tend to feel rather warm and fuzzy about renewing Uncle Sam's commitment to Manifest Destiny these days.
Many of them genuinely believe, rightly or wrongly, that they or at least the US government would be making the world a better place by further expanding the US and making more people Americans.
This is very much reflected by how recent US administrations sold some rather problematic conflicts to the American public: "We are not invading them, we are bringing them freedom and democracy! Hooyah!"
Mr Trump is just giving his base what they want to see and hear.
Democracy can get rather performative, and gorillas do not possess a monopoly on chest beating.
It's a popular pastime for some modern Western leaders, especially in countries like Britain and France where the head of government and the head of state, respectively, have been feeling particularly politically vulnerable lately.
Soon-to-be President Trump is interested in establishing a legacy like any other politician in his position.
However, he doesn't actually need many, if any wins as he won't be running for re-election.
This is probably why he wants to indulge in a Jeffersonian-esque exercise in purchasing Greenland: might not do much for the US in immediate terms, but potentially achievable, and it'll make him the first president to physically expand the United States in three generations.
Mr Trump is not going to give Mexicans what many of them have wanted for decades: American citizenship. He might "get tough" with Mexican DTOs, but that can be largely outsourced to Mexico and limited in scope.
Likewise, four years isn't going to be enough time to turn Canada into an American state unless President Trump somehow lucks out on or creates an opportune crisis that'll convince Canadians to eat up the idea of de jure Americanization.
I'm not even going to get started on the inevitable GOP opposition to such a scenario given the long term effects it'll have on the balance of power in Congress . . .
On the other hand, it's plausible that the Trump administration can and will "convince" Denmark to sell Greenland just as Russia sold Alaska when Jefferson was in office.
As for Panama: an US invasion of the country will likely feel like a "live fire training exercise" to much of SOCOM. That could definitely be an easy win for soon-to-be President Trump if he is ballsy enough to pull the trigger.
