Your article is dead on. Greenland is a huge strategic asset as the Arctic melts, and we are indeed heading for competition with China and Russia for natural resources and shipping lane control. The Navy has foreseen this since at least 1990. I found multiple documents to prove it in this detailed article.

You bet these climate denial clowns know what's going on. They're lying sacks of shit playing the end game for dwindling natural resources.

Exactly, Geoffrey, and the Republicons are now bolstered by the ignorance of America’s electorate. If their lies can get a pants-shitting narcissistic sociopath elected POTUS, (twice!), they will be more motivated than ever to cover us in 20,000 leagues of bullshit…and the grift goes on.

The reasons go back decades, failure of education, entertainment as the opiate of American masses, the violent DNA that stole and built this country. Dreading the next developments.

The US empire wants to colonize the world. We cannot let that happen!

Not my president. I'm a retired psychiatrist and know a madman when I see one. Like Little Lindsey said after Jan. 6: "Count me out". Have a blessed day!

Resource extraction. Very simply.

Yes, of course Trump inc. knows all about the climate crisis.

I don't think we can put anything beyond the sophistication of the team.

Trump inc. has already staged his own assassination attempt, cynically killing 2 people.

Trump hates California so much, did he set fire to it and sabotage the (impossible) task of fire-fighting to weaken it? He's immediately flooded social media with memes blaming lesbians in authority, illegal immigrants, globalisation, DEI, 'land grabs, 'Agenda 30' and 'direct energy weapons'. Everyone is falling over themselves to say that it wasn't caused by climate change, which of course it wasn't, though the unusually wet winter and subsequent increase in large amounts of vegetation, made it a lot worse.

Lots of political gain for Trump inc before he takes office.

Canada is a US ally and protectorate, so I'm skeptical of the need to formally annex it. Politically it is a non-starter. The GOP would lose control of the Federal government with 10 new Canadian "states" who would overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party.

From a Canadian perspective, this is evidence that Trump is a buffoon, and unqualified to be president. Wanting to exert "control" over international waters is doomed to fail, although there is money to be made in purportedly carrying out that mission.

Finally, the idiocy of wanting to exploit oil resources in the high arctic as soon as the ice melts, speaks for itself.

If they annexed Canada, I doubt they would give Canadians voting rights. Or at a minimum they'd structure it in a way to be meaningless.

Just like putins war against ukraine, the 10 days plan to take canada you seem to fully agree with might, just might, reveal itself to be harder than you think.

Lets be clear: I don't agree with it.

So maybe read timothy snyder about it. You seem to have been confused into thinking that putin and xi are US ennemies. You seem also to believe that trump is acting for the interest of the us. Your article clearly says that taking canada is possible and a good idea. It's not. Also, like all americans, kindly stop lecturing the world about collapse and carbon reduction.

Indeed. As a Canadian, I am unimpressed by Trump's lies...America, even if it wanted to, could NEVER take over Canada as the Yanks could never find all the Canadians lying in wait for their arrival. There would be a century of hit and run attacks that would gradually destroy the morale of the invading force. Don't believe me...ask the ancestors of the Germans who got cut to pieces by Canadian troops...they were by far the most feared soldiers in the eyes of the fascists.

Voting is already meaningless. But the electorate still believe they have choice, or that one candidate is better than another. You should see how some Canadians are excited by the prospect of Pierre Poilievre winning a majority, and by Justin Trudeau leaving the political arena. They never learn.

Oh you really believe there will be other free elections in the us ? That's so sweet.

Your elections have not been free or meaningful for a long time. Nor have ours in the Great White North. But yes, I assume the pretense of having elections will continue.
