People absolutely need to take the annexation talk serious and stop treating Trump like a harmless buffoon. He's a buffoon who controls the most powerful countries in the world, and he's on TV talking about how Ukraine just needs to cede to Russia what Russia illegally invaded and took, and basically saying they should have just let Russia do what they wanted because Russia is more powerful.
And he is now saying Canadians needs his protection because they don't have it from their governor (Trudeau). Same kind of justification Putin used in Ukraine (and South Ossetia, and elsewhere). He openly admires how Putin and other dictators act and he clearly doesn't think it's a problem, and since the entire Republican party has basically turned into Trumpers who do what he says rather than risk blowback, this is a genuine threat whether people want to admit it or not.
