In what context did he make all these statements? I wondered since I heard about them, but never looked...
I mean, it's one thing to say, "Well, if Russia takes Ukraine and China wants Taiwan, maybe we should/will take Canada and Greenland and the Panama Canal.", another to say "We will take...". The first one is kind of an aggressive warning, the second one is kind of a mad man talking. Still kind of mad the first one too.
The second one. "We need for national security reasons, we are going to take it." Totally mad.
