In the normal times, a G7 and NATO leader, who accuses a US president of the desire to annexation, would be a hearing-line-dining-toning, megatonic explosion of the news that leaves shock waves for months.
These are not normal times.
Donald Trump’s repeated conversation about Canada is treated almost general in Washington as a joke. Or maybe as a negotiating current. Even if it is not, the US President would be exposed to a Himalaya promotion to make it reality.
The consensus in Washington that he can’t be serious – right? Right? -Ifs is reflected in the low immediate reporting on conspicuous remarks that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made on Friday, who has overheard the business leaders, yes, Trump really dignity like to take over Canada.
Apparently the US President made a cryptic comment on a 1908 contract on Monday afternoon at Trudeau, which found the border of Canada-US-American American US American and interesting. He didn’t work out.
The story was at the end of the New York Times homepage, whereby its website is supposed to be transferred to stories about illegal actions through the new administration.
It was halfway on the homepage on Wall Street Journal under routine economically News and were not on the main page of the Washington Post at all.
Also all of this conversation did not appear at the recent hearings of the congress, in which Canada prominently presented: one for trade and tariffs, one over minerals.
In the latter, a Democrat Trump mocked because he had threatened a neighbor who had the vital aluminum copper, cobalt, graphite, lithium and more.
“The stable genius has decided to start a trade war (Canada),” said Rhode Island Rep. Seth Magaziner and called an expression that once used to describe himself.
It was not mentioned that Canada is to make a 51st state and to change the political map of North America and the election card of the United States.
The Republican Senator Ted Cruz fluctuated Trump’s plan for his podcast this week and called him “an epic troll … I think he only has (TrudeAaus) chain”.
According to his public comments at the economic summit in Canada and the USA, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the managers that US President Donald Trump’s comments on Canada were “a real thing”. Trudeau’s comments could be heard about the loudspeakers.
Gigantuan roadblocks
One reason to give this lecture could be bad politics: Canadian statehood is light To solid Unpopular, according to the US public opinion polls.
It seems very doubtful that this unpopular, highly complex and deeply controversial plan would achieve a critical mass of support in order to gain a coordination in the US Congress, let alone
Some existing US areas know this from experience. You have been working for decades to maintain such voices about the congress.
A veteran of the battle says, even if there were enough supporters in the congress, the actual voices would be a political mining field.
The legislator would have to declare itself ready to water down their own authority – depending on the number of new states, two, four or six seats of the Senate, to be transferred to Canada via the number of new states.
“That would fundamentally change the balance of power in this committee,” said George Laws Garcia, executive director of the Stagehood Council of Puerto Rico.
“So is that something in which the congress will only jump? I don’t think.”
And there is little time: Trump’s party has a razor -thin home majority and could lose it in the meantime in 23 months. When he repeatedly talks about unpopular ideas like Canada, Trump could uncontrollably accelerate this process.
Trump’s final game weigh
The evidence that Trump seriously accumulate territorial expansion in a difficult to ignore mountain.
He mentioned it in his opening speech. He continues to talk about it – in the context of Canada, Panama, Greenlands and now Gaza Strip.
His envoy in the Middle East is one Real estate developer And Trump talks about the construction of real estate in Gaza after moving the residents elsewhere. Trump’s son -in -law Jared Kushner considered Similar months ago.
There is enough evidence to suspect that Trump is no longer satisfied with his current station as a two-term US President-and that he has imperial ambitions.
Which could not be surprising in view of the two Biographies the man, including one of one of written by his nieceAdd the words “never enough” to the title.
But some people who study the Global Hegemony in the United States still don’t buy them.
An analyst of imperialism in US history says Canadian that he has no expectation to share a nation in his life.
“So I may be pleased to be your compatriot, I wouldn’t bet much about it,” said Daniel Immewahr, professor at Northwestern University and author of author of How to hide an empire.
He says he believes that Trump delights to delight people shocking people – to say unusual things, either for fun or pursuing a goal.
From stupid social media contributions to threats of “economic power” Donald Trump has been taking sovereignty for weeks in Canada’s sovereignty. Ellen Mauro from CBC breaks down the escalating rhetoric of the elected president against Canada.
This goal, he said, could be a new trade agreement with Canada or his desired result in Gaza or a new security agreement in Greenland and Panama Canal.
However, he does not rule out the possibility that Trump is serious. If so, says Imerwahr, he is looking for nothing less than a return to the global order, as it existed before World War II.
In this view, the world in which the United States usually used its hard strength and soft power instruments such as trade, help and global institutions is used to have their massive influence and achieve the desired results.
This would be a return to the world in which great powers threaten the territory of its neighbors – Everwahr says China, Russia and now the USA
The conversation with the annexation of Gaza could be similar, says Stephen Wertheim, analyst of US Statecraft and Strategy at the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace. He showed doubts that the Maga believers demand so much destructive potential for a nation-building exercise in the Middle East.
The idea of annexing the territory of the western hemisphere returns to the 19th century and the Monroe doctrine, as Trump indicated in his opening speech by talking about the extension of the USA
But whatever Trump does, it is still a water catchment torque.
“To the extent that Trump threatens, the Annexion only threatens as a negotiation of tricks, we are pretty much in the unknown area,” said Wertheim, author of the book Tomorrow, the world: the birth of the global dominance of the United States.
President Donald Trump’s proposal for the United States to take over Gaza and relocated two million Palestinians has triggered a widespread condemnation of the world leaders. Andrew Chang collapses, like international law, question the question of the Palestinian statehood and the geopolitical stability of Trump’s idea.
