A great deal of interest has emerged lately from Trump’s office about acquiring Greenland, Alberta and Saskatchewan and incorporating them into the US.
Greenland has been mentioned because of the ill treatment they have been receiving at the hands of Denmark who has possession of the property. The US is lured by the oil and mineral rights and the threat of acting as buffer if a nuclear weapon was launched over the North Pole and as an observation point for the new trading routes that Russsia appears to have planned for it’s new ince breakers.
The US already has a military presence in Greenland at; there is an opportunity for the US to exert control over trae routes for this area and supply the Northeast with oil. While these are all valid reasons for the US to try and gain some control over this area. I believe that the Trump administration will secure either a US protectorate status over this area or own it outright.
Alberta is the center of the oil and natural gas industry in Canada. Alberta is also the center of the cattle industry. The financial resources from these industries are vast. Unfortunatly, much of this revenue is being used to support the eastern cities and provinces in Canada. Albertans have a libertarian wild west streak in them and do not need a great deal of convincing to join the US.
The US would gain direct access to these energy resources which would drive down the cost of manufacturing and transport in the US. The Albertans would also gain by getting paid higher agricultural prices particularly cattle and grains because they would not be subject to current Canadian pricing practices.
Saskatchewan has a great deal of resentment towards Ontario because of the grain pricing structure imposed on them by the Canadian government, whereby they are forced to sell their grain to the government at fixed prices. These practices are reminiscent of Monarchial Britian and have no place in modern western economies. Saskatchewan, I believe would quite readily support a move towards the US .
The most singular issue at the heart of these matters is not control of resources or fair pricing policies for farmers. The most sinugular issue is whether or not Trump is ready to challenge the UK and specifically the city of London and break the crown in North America. The ancillary issue is whether or not Trump is ready to really make the US an independent country again and reassert US dominance of the feudal lords in the UK and break the British financially.
I believe that Trump will do this and the first step in the process is acting independently of the Europeans in the Ukraine negotiations. This means cutting off Zelensky financially and militarily and being a fair arbiter with Russia. The next step is to sequentially gain control of these territories in Canada. The third step involves putting the financial clasp on the remaing territories of Canada and by proxy the UK.
The financial clasp is applies through a number of tactics which will give the US economic power over the eastern power bases in Canada. The first stage of the clasp involves gaining control of the territories and building the infrastructure to access low cost energy resources.
The second claso involves building a separate tax structure in Alberta which allows them to not pay the US double taxes on mining profits abroad and lowering the nominal tax rate so that it is unfeasible for mining companies to continue to operate in other Canadian areas outside of the US zone. This will force these other mining companies to relocate to Calgary. In this way, we will be able to exercise much greater control over international mining resources and the company profits will increase by the favorable tax schedule.
The mining companies will also benefit from the foreign protection afforded by the US military and the political pressure the US can bring to bare. This is a project that can be completed in afew years. The largest quagmire points are going to the usurpation of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The British are not going to just sit there and watch pieces of the crowns pie being taken off the table.
It will be necessary for US intelligence to operate in these areas and control messaging and ensure that there are fair elections. This will show that there has been a clean break between the US and the UK and that the foundations of a new security and economic architecture has emerged.
The challenge for Trump and his administration is that this is not a short term deal and will require long term strategic planning and a dedication to a future state. This will be difficult for Trump as he views the world like most US business people and is only concerned with the results at the end of the quarter.
