      >The plans for Venezuela are bad enough. A country run by a dictator, who stayed in power by stealing the last election, has not been liberated and turned over to its people. Instead, the old regime has been anointed by Mr. Trump. The U.S. economic blockade is being maintained, with the U.S. President proudly announcing that the stranglehold has compelled the new client government to turn over up to 50 million barrels of oil to his control.

      This is the model they would follow for any other territories they seize, or countries they take control of. Those sympathetic to being a 51st state, like some separatists, are mistaken if they believe that becoming an equal state of the American union is a possibility while this administration is in power. Or any administration; as Puerto Rico, Guam and others can attest.

      At *best* Canada, or seceded former territories of Canada, would be a powerless vassal state kept under heel by the American military. Unable to choose their own destiny, unable to make the best choices for themselves, always serving *America First* and exploited *beyond* what is tolerable.

      >“It has been the formal position of the U.S. government since the beginning of this administration,” said Mr. Miller, “that Greenland should be part of the United States. The President has been very clear about that.”

      >Would he rule out using military force to attack a NATO member? No. “The United States should have Greenland. … Nobody’s going to fight the United States over the future of Greenland.”

      >The world, he said, is “run by those who have power.” All else is “legal niceties.”

      We were fools to ever trust them.

      What exactly are we supposed to do? Panic and freak out and yell? I don’t get the point of these articles. We don’t have much we can do as a people but wait and see. We can make deals, we can pretend that our allies will land boots on the ground to help us but thats just far flung hopes.

      So instead of doomering every single day about the future, I am just going to live my life instead of being frozen in fear, there is quite literally nothing I can do to change the situation and I refuse to let it consume my mind.

      Im not sure enough Canadians are prepared to make difficult choices.

      We are just coming up on the one year anniversary of this Admin. and I’m confident enough to declare that its going to get worse.

      Our best hope at this point is that the US descends i to some sort of revolution, otherwise we will be on the other end of the stick sooner rather than later.

      Once Greeland is done, the eye of sauron will turn to us.

      **Be prepared to make difficult choices.** Very few of us (myself excluded) are ready for what that actually entails.

      We could do like Poilievre and say congratulations to dear leader but I think being proactive is a much better solution.

      I’m a proud Canadian. But if we’re being honest, we were only ever America’s ally until their water and climate situation (acquifer depletion through poor management and surface water drought) because desperate. And then we were destined to become their meal. America first has always been an unspoken rule.

      The consequence of Trump is that the timetable has been upped by a few decades, and they’ll be a lot more brutal in the execution and occupation.
