Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a private meeting inadvertently broadcast via a hot mic, warned that Donald Trump is seriously considering annexing Canada to secure its critical mineral resources.
Speaking to business and labor leaders, Trudeau claimed Trump’s administration is keenly aware of Canada’s resource wealth and sees annexation as a means to control it.
The comments, cut off after staff realized they were audible, underscore growing economic and political tensions.
He also stressed the need to diversify trade, noting, “Geography means we’re always going to both benefit and be challenged by trade with the United States.”
Unless the British and French are going to Nuke America, Article 5 is useless for Canada being attacked by America. Article 5 was made for Europe and North America vs Russia… NATO fighting against America would basically end up being, US bases in Europe get wiped out, Europe takes cataclysmic casualties trying to fight America, and deal with Russia at the same time
(who would absolutely move in, and possibly try to align with America. its been a poorly kept secret for a decade that Republicans want Russia to be their ally so they can control a monopoly of the world’s nuclear weapons and point them at China)
and after all of that, Fascist America would basically be an Island while it rapes Mexico and Canada in a genocidal purge. and probably erupts into a civil war at the same time Because no one is going to be able to cross either ocean to come to their aid.
You know without the US Nato has five full aircraft carriers if you count lhds they have about 20. They absolutely could bring the war directly to America.
Meanwhile China will be watching on likely to pick off the remnants.
those carriers are small by comparison, and as I said there is no way they would be able to pull all of their assets from facing east, and suddenly turn them west without Russia sensing an opportunity and attacking Poland and the Baltics.
Remember that Russia considers itself to already be at war with Nato. And the Russian regime has been playing footsies with the Republican party for a decade or more now.
