Time for the good old-fashioned way to build an empire: if you want it, take it. From Declan Hayes at strategic-culture.org:
With Panama and Greenland firmly under the star-spangled jackboot, it will be the turn of Canada to pay the price for burning the White House in 1812.
Although incoming warlord Donald Trump has got some undeserved stick for threatening to annex Canada, Panama and Greenland, and to bomb Mexico and some other equally irrelevant backwaters back to the Stone Age, I’m not joining that bandwagon. Not at least until the Brits pays proper compensation for invading Iceland and Uncle Sam withdraws from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and a bunch of other islands it has annexed since 1945. Far from laughing at Trump, as Denmark’s powerless politicians do, the world should be praising him, if they know what is good both for themselves and for his version of America.
Greenland and Panama are the easier ones. If Trump’s paymasters want them, who is going to stop them? Not the pathetic Danes, that is for sure. Denmark should simply name its price for Greenland or, better still, let Trump name it so the gullible Yanks are not again ripped off, throw the Faroe Islands in for free to sweeten the deal and sail back with their tails between their legs to Legoland.
Much the same applies to the Panama Canal. Why risk China or anyone else having a say in its governance when a handful of U.S. Marines, together with some cut price Latin American mercenaries, can form a sufficient tripwire to keep unwanted trespassers out, as Trump’s America prepares to go head to head with China?
With Panama and Greenland firmly under the star-spangled jackboot, it will be the turn of Canada to pay the price for burning the White House in 1812, and for “that star-spangled Banner [to] yet wave, O’er the Land of the free and the home of the brave”, Canada’s remaining braves included.
Place missiles there that can hit deep into Russia?
Does Greenland have icebreakers?
Too late for empire for the steaming fourth world turd but at least my screen is fast and not choppy.
Just read about Perfidious Albion signing 100 year pact with Ukraine, Russia will still be standing then.
