I have told people repeatedly: he NEEDS Greenland, to sever Canada's Atlantic trade & EU-lifeline, after annexing Canada.

His having Alberta separatists as guests was evidence corroborating it.

Alaska, navy+airforce, mainland, navy+airforce, Greenland, & he can sever ALL Canadian trade,

& since ALL terrestrial international-comms from Canada go through the US, all of that can be severed in an hour, within the US.

He's got Canada in a guillotine, & he knows it.

The only chance we've got, is that once he becomes dictator/king, he'll be waging war on 3 fronts:

  • enforcing his annexation of Canada
  • Civil War Part2: confederate reverse-takeover & vengeance, de-naturalizing all non-Republicans, & either drafting them or having them ICE'd ( the incinerators they'll be building after dictatorship-day will "take care" of many )
  • imperial-expansion throughout the rest of the Americas, Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Panama, whom else has he threatened? Everybody, though.. It's total-Americas-conquest he wants, & nothing less will be "good enough".

Because of that, each of the fronts will have some chance.


Context:

There are 3 categories of game:

  • Positive-Sum game: Win-Win alliance
  • Zero-Sum game: competitive narcissism
  • Negative-Sum game: competitive nihilism

Putin, Netanyahu, mass-shooters, etc, are all doing competitive-nihilism.

Trump is, too.

It isn't that he wants his US to be "great" again, rather, it is that he wants to enforce that NOBODY be "great" after him: that there's only wreckage & rubble left, & everybody after is broken.

Same as with mass-shooters: the greater the destruction, the "higher the score".


Competitive nihilism is the most LETHALLY DANGEROUS category of game.

A book on kenjutsu explained it:

IF all your martial-arts training presumed that your opponents would always value their life, & would block any strike toward them..

BUT your current actual opponent doesn't care if you cut them, they only care that you die..

THEN all your training-instinct is incorrect.

They begin a strike toward you, & you put a strike toward them, to make them block, but .. they don't care .. & you die, then.


Canada's investing in few, expensive self-propelled howitzers, recently, was idiocy: what we NEED is the M777's replacement, ZILLIONS of them, for fighting Trump's war on Canada later this year ( 2026 ).

Our opportunity to save Canada's life is being squandered.

I think Canada's going with the German submarines, which won't be ready for .. 2y longer than the Korean deal would have been .. also was a mistake: we need those NOW, not years-later.

As the photo-journalists said, last century: "the camera you've got on you, right when you need it, is worth infinitely more than the GOOD camera you left at home. ALWAYS have a camera on you."

The same is true, remapped to weapons, when Russia or the US is your neighbor & they begin war on you: immediate capability counts!

What a sad/sick/aweful world we live in, to have to be saying these things, eh?

Humbug.
