Trump Sets Sights on Bigger Takeover Target in Taunting Post
The article went on to deal with Pres, Trump’s ongoing obsession with annexing Canada, also addressing his determination to annex Greenland.
But why Greenland?
Some people said I was “out there” when I made the following observation a few days ago; I repost it here. With the backdrop of this article, perhaps I’m not as far out there as some would like to believe.
Trump is still serious about annexing Canada; there is no reason to believe otherwise. Annexing Greenland would be a logical first step - and I’m sure the Canadian government has already considered that. Annexing Greenland would mean that the United States has achieved a practical encirclement of Canada; if Trump so desired, the US would be in a position to blockade the country until it surrenders to him. Yes, Canada has been working to revive the Port of Churchill on Hudson’s Bay in an effort to circumvent the US, but that is a minor consideration in the broader scheme of things, a logistical challenge to make it really work, and easily shut down.
Make no mistake, Trump intends to control the western hemisphere. Firming up control of North America gives him the psychological advantage he needs to implement his expressed plans to push south into Central/South America. It would also create a land mass large enough to rival Russia - and that consideration alone is all the justification Trump’s ego needs to make it a reality. He is out to build his own empire.
