Well this is absolutely frightening in so much that Trump is going to force his way into Canada via military operations by claiming fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

Anyone remember the Bush Administration and WMDs they said were there but never were?

Elbows up Canuck’s. The time to prepare is most likely closer than we think.

Should have acquired nukes. This is the message.

suitcase nukes pretty easy to access for nations that have different friends than US.

They weren't real and still aren't. You can make a nuke small enough to fit in, say, a shell (and the US did), but the minimum critical mass is still way too heavy to carry around. Uranium and plutonium are both significantly denser than lead.

It's kind of wild you think any nuclear weapon would be "easy to access".

both US and Russia had programs started in 1950s. Official denials aside, there is evidence they were made. At any rate, car sized, or truck sized nukes are both easier, and higher yield.

Access from nation states cooperating with your nation state "can be made easy". US has made everyone angry, and won't know who hit them. A single nuclear detonation in US would collapse its government, currency and economy due to already being up against sustainable debt limit.
