Ok. I just made an assumption that you were talking about what everyone else had been talking about. You changed the topic to invading Canada or Panama?
I would be very, staggeringly surprised if Trump started a war on purpose. He's been consistently anti-war in his political career and on this it seems easy to explain why he would be so close to having an actual philosophical conviction. Boil down everything he says about Ukraine and you get "Stuff is being destroyed and money is being wasted". He doesn't care about Putin's ambitions, he doesn't care about self-determinism, he doesn't care about freedom, he doesn't care about regional strategy/security. He even says the important thing is that so many people are dying, BUT he will still go along with it and help it happen if he gets mineral rights. It's all about the Benjamins.
I don't have the access to evaluate his mental health, but it appears to me that he believes he might be able to negotiate for control of Greenland, Panama Canal, and ...Canada. And it doesn't help anything that he's apparently provisionally negotiated for Gaza. Netanyahu appears to be amenable to Trump's plan. I'd like to know who talks to him about Greenland, Panama, and Canada and what they say. Anyone telling him that Canada wants to be the 51st state and that he can pull this off is a moron. He may be in severe mental decline and thought of this on his own. On the other hand, I can see people whispering to him that control of Greenland and the Panama Canal would be strategically important, but if they want to manipulate POTUS into taking those by military force, I think they did pick the wrong President (for them, I mean. Definitely the wrong one in general). He'll do air strikes. He did one in recent days, I think. Against someone with limited reach to retaliate. But I think it would be very hard for anyone to talk him into starting an open war.
