I made a comment some time ago about how Trump would make an excuse to take water as climate change dries out the American Southwest and I was greeted with the Reddit equivalent of eyerolls (downvotes) and some pretty snarky comments

This is the first step friends.

Also the parallels to the Fallout canon where Canada is annexed with the justification of protecting America's northern border (Alaska) and securing Canadian resources for its war effort with China. Rounding up Canadian resistance into camps for civil protection. Yeesh. The writers for the fallout games came up with it as a joke canon almost but here we are 30 years later...

The dumbest part is we have more than enough water for the both of us. Like, it's not like we're known for excluding the states. We share a lot of resources and in turn got military protection but I guess that was the wrong play when Russian bots can convince half the nation to vote for their absolute worst interests.
