Steve Bannon actually explained the reasons why Trump wants Canada so bad, and it’s actually pretty “rational”. I don’t want the US to take over, but we need to understand just how much they would gain if they annexed us.
- More access points to the melting Arctic cap and all the untapped resources underneath
- More liberties to plant military bases across the north of the continent, to secure what is seen as the soft underbelly of North America
- All the other resources, all of our expertise, all of our hydro-electric potential
Mind you, this also explains the weird obsession with Greenland. There are military thinkers that want to create a defensive position out of the newly freed strait that will manifest north of Canada, and Greenland/Canada are key positions to do this.
It’s dangerous to hand wave this as a weird and quirky tantrump, there’s some really greedy fuckers across the border and they want direct dibs on the Arctic.
The US empire is already crumbling as is, I’m not sure how much more disruption it really needs but it might happen in our life time.
If anything, I’m pissed that we’re on the eve of a new world geopolitics era and the US completely shitted up some big players in the East. And also, shitting in their own backyard with this Canada annexation talk.
