It makes a lot more sense that Trump wants to annex Canada when you realize he is about to go to war with NATO over Greenland.
Once the US is at war with 31 NATO countries, having a free Canada — a NATO country — on the northern border suddenly becomes a security risk.
I sincerely hope the American people stops the fascist before he triggers World War 3.
@randahl I have to sdaly agree with you
@randahl
I think, the claim about national security is just a #Trump hoax story to keep #Americans support while in reality he wants
- Greenland for rare earths
- Canada for oil, uranium, Cooper and its forests
- ...
If he cared about security, he would not piss off his allies. He only cares about grabbing money as long as his presidency lasts.
His #tariffs threat against countries supporting #Greenland and #Denmark go in line.
@randahl
Trump&Co. aren’t going to be as successful at any of this as they would like us to believe. None of them have actually ever played this game before. The odds are stacked against them in my opinion.
@randahl Well he’s going to war with NATO, and he’s testing the allies’ resolve by picking on Greenland first.
@randahl I'm totally ok with Canada sacking the White House again if we attack them again.
Canada need not worry.
I'm sure Trump will be satisfied once he has the Sudetenland, and we will have peace for our time.
@randahl The talking heads here in Canada postulate that after Greenland, Trump will make the same arguments to take the artic archipelago, at which point we'll be surrounded on all four sides, just waiting for the inevitable final takeover.
@randahl You give him too much credit for thinking. He just wants to rule everything from Greenland to Venezuela (the Technate).
If Trump invades Greenland on a Monday, all American assets in Europe will be frozen by Friday. Come Monday they'll be seized.
@randahl I was rolling my eyes about Greenland last year until I looked at the map. If he has Greenland, Canada is surrounded. I expect the Canadians will fight very hard not to be annexed, and I'm not sure Trump would be successful, but it would be awful in the meantime, and he could easily cut off a lot of trade options.
The same map made me realize that the Venezuela gambit is also serving his ambitions in Mexico. He's taking the Monroe Doctrine more seriously than anyone ever has before.
This wouldn't be the first time that Canada has had to plan for counter-attacks.
@VikingChieftain very interesting.
@dnkboston
@randahl not forgetting 5 countries in the EU who aren't in NATO after he attacks the territory of an EU nation.
@nomenloony very true. Plus all the allies.
