I believe that the game Trump is playing is this:

1. Get us to contract to buy weapons from them,

2. declare annexation/war against Canada,

3. keep the money, bankrupting our ability to buy weapons,

4. use the weapons we paid-for against Canada, to gain Trump’s “Manifest Destiny” quicker & more-efficiently,

5. then Trump gets to be “king of the entire continent” before he dies.

For all who believe this is baseless delusion, have some fact: https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/manifest-destiny

This has been brewing all along, since the days of the colonies warring against each-other, the British-loyal colonies vs the United-States colonies…

When somebody pointed-out here in c/world , the other day, that Trump appears to be hoping that Europe will strike Russia so that he can then openly side with Russia, against Europe, … damn, I wish I’d seen/understood that machiavellianism…

I don’t remember what video he was linking-to ( as I didn’t watch it ) that convinced him that this was going-on, but it was an understanding pushed by evidence, not just some narcissist-conspiricism, it seemed to me.

Also, it got the natures/motivations/behaviors in a better-fit than my previous understanding did, so I accept it as operationally-true.

I’ve been telling people for … perhaps a decade, now, that Trump will ditch NATO, join Russia ( as the now-disappeared-from-the-internet “Kremlin Papers” journalism identified: his original backer ), & help Russia destroy the hated woke countries, especially the EU.

I hadn’t forseen his declaring war against Canada, so as to possess the entire-continent, until recently ( past year or so? ).

It’s inevitable, now.

The reason he wants Greenland is so that between Alaska, mainland US, Greenland, & Trump’s former-Pentagon/now-Department-Of-War, his airforce & his navy, he can SNUFF Canada’s trade, & thereby break Canada’s life more-efficiently.

There IS unconscious-strategy going-on, in him.

His SurfaceMind’s a chaotic mess, but his unconscious-mind is strategic, & lethal, as Project-2025’s successful implimentation proves…

There is ZERO point in pretending that Trump will allow any election to unseat him: Civil War Part2 will happen, when he doesn’t permit whichever election it is that he feels fundamentally-threatened by. Maybe 2026 he’ll just “deregister” all Democrats, so they can’t vote, or maybe he’ll just “denaturalize” them, so they don’t even have citizenship in any country, anymore, & ICE can deport them all legally.

The US of A’s finished as a real country with civil-rights & constitutional-rule-of-law.

The longer the rest of the world pretends otherwise, the farther along the path of self-destruction humankind puts itself, & therefore the smaller the fraction of POSSIBLE survivors of this-century’s Great Filter.

It’s the species-equivalent to puberty: you can’t believe-your-way-past-it, it is an all-consuming-tranformation that eats your unconscious-mind’s nature, & FORCES one’s life into embodying it.

All world-species who gain world-shattering technology, WITHOUT their unconscious-mind/nature growing-up, break their world’s ecology, & then shred themselves in wars as the food-chain, the climate, enforced-migrations, political/ideological rabies, etc, all COMBINE at once…

It is inevitable.

Surviving it isn’t inevitable, but is an opportunity, IF earned.

We’re … not earning that, presently, but instead going in a distinctly-different direction.

shrug

Universe couldn’t care: species-extinction is every bit as socially “valid” as is species-growing-up, right?

OUR “fate”: OUR determination.

Why would Canada but weapons from a hostile country?
