Death of Michael Ledeen, maker of the phony case for the invasion of Iraq

I've never understood what the real reason we invaded was. I just know it wasn't what we said, or oil.

A US invasion, occupation, and political reformation of Iraq to serve as a lever for a pro-US series of regime changes in the Middle East were central ideas of the Project for a New American Century, from which the Bush Administration drew heavily for its defense and foreign policy officials (as well as VP.)

Methods aside, it is funny how quickly Republicans went from "we want to rule the whole world" to "we want nothing to do with the world and btw, foreigners get out".

Now they just want to annex Canada and Greenland, and hand over the US’s role in UN, WHO, and economic development to China.

How realistic is the idea of the U.S. annexing Canada, and what would that even look like in practice?

Is there any historical, legal, or strategic precedent that would make this even remotely feasible? And given the likely short political shelf life of the current U.S. administration, would any of this outlast the next four years anyway?
