Yea the an O-Plan for something like this would play out over decades, so timing of the reveal a huge variable... all we know is the clock would have started in 16 when Trump was first installed, could take another 8 years for all we know

Seems to be the direction though since then. The chaos in Canada is actually what makes me lean sooner than later, it has no leadership so that vacuum would be an opportunity to do it. The worse of a state that Canada is in the easier it'd be to get done, and it's probably the most important to the military given the arctic implications if missiles start flying.

Brexit and their collapse as a country accelerates the timeline in my view also.
