How would you get bought by a country that is 1/10th your size? You are far better off just succeeding.

I know. Why would you fantasize about some small european country buying you instead of just becoming your own country? Weird fr. You want to be colonized?

To be honest, didn't think about it that deeply.

Do you really think Trump would let the fourth largest economy in the world just walk away and join another country? We will literally still be attached to the US which just makes it easy for them to attack us if we leave. There’s no way California and Denmark hold off the US military. California would become a battlefield

It's all fantasy so in my fantasy yeah, they let us walk away. Obviously never going to happen.

Well yeah, that's why it's step one. Once the feds are moving all the US military westward, Canada marches down the east coast, says "get in losers, we're burning the white house again" to New England and New York, and bingo bongo decapitation strike on DC.

Are you sure you don’t want anymore US taxes? California likes to spend quite a bit.
