Trump vying for Greenland and Canada

[Lizbeth]

Trump thinks owning and controlling arctic regions is an important part of national security for the whole region. Canada, Greenland and all of it.

Military and economic security, and I guess they are tied together. But I hope my American neighbours here don't think it would be right in the sight of God to try and force an existing country to give up its sovereignty against that nation's will in order to suit yourselves. Folks on this thread are being pretty quiet about Canada in all of this. Me, I'm beginning to wonder if you've elected an aspiring emperor down there, though not that you intended that. (Someone having a bow and given a crown riding a white horse and going forth to conquer has come to mind lately...?)

If this is seriously being considered I hope it would get negotiated and discussed and reasoned out diplomatically, and also give people here time to process and get used to the idea. It could get very messy otherwise, human nature being what it is, with other nations getting drawn into it, and all that wouldn't be in anyone's best interests except our current crop of shared enemies. Brother against brother is always so sad....dear Lord, may it not come to that!

 

[Lizbeth]

Hypothetically, if it were to happen, it wouldn't necessarily have to become a state. It could become an unincorporated territory like Puerto Rico and Guam. That would mean they couldn't vote in our election, although that would be a tough sell to the Canadians.

Yeah, it would be. Mighty considerate of you to plan and decide our future for us, hypothetically, for your benefit and our detriment. Thanks a heap. That's not gonna fly, you can be sure of that. And I'm amazed at those who are "liking" your post my friend. Oh dear.

This world runs on greed and self-interest, but those aren't the principles we as Christians are supposed to live by.

 

[Lizbeth]

Canada will have to settle for second best.

We will, will we? Thank you. And what does that mean exactly?

I think if Canadians unite in opposition to their country becoming America's 51st state,or a Canadian individual speaks to that objection seemingly on behalf of all Canadians, then the best thing for them to do is unite and foster in that opposition to Americas rescue a resolve to make their Government do better than what has warranted their national decline so that their northern neighbor thinks to rescue them from what their complacency has wrought.

In other words,rather than rail against rescue by America get off your arses and save yourselves! Aye?

American Senator Bernie Sanders took issue with the faith of a man then President Trump nominated to his cabinet. There's no religious test to enter public office in America.
Bernie praises Socialism as an ideal working model for a future America. As he owns 3 mansions. And prior to entering public office never held a job and was on welfare.

Socialism is slavery through dependence.

AOC is Bernie's protege.Many in power in America are all for Socialism.

Have you ever noticed? In Socialist countries their leadership want for nothing.

I have taken note of all the Socialist Leaders of Australia that they are playing the people for fools ! seen as heros by idiots !

They are not about building on true foundations, for the future ! but on deceptions and delusions ! leading the fools astray into a fantasy land !
I know very welthy people as well fall for all such nonsense, why do wealthy fall for it all, well they never had to work for anything themselves in fact, everything just came to them, so they live in a fantasy land ! they can be nice people but boy see the world with rose coloured glasses.

I have a mate with more than 2 million dollars cash, but he is a Communist ! He likes to live as a one who is totaly broke. does not own a car or a house, 63yo still lives with mummy, could not handle a woman or children ? for that's a comitment ! worked for the Government only ! He could never work for himself, that would be a reality ! and such seen as a grave threat ! my brother has a Communist mate who is just the same type of cunning coward.

So yes i see they are very demanding, in wanting themselves to be served and will take anyone for what they can, if they can ! it's all about themselves truly ! not to mention i know a far right wing idiot Builder well who is much the same sort of parasite, he does not do the work himself but full on intent undermines people who works for him ?

I know of religious people who are all talk, but truly just a husk ! they have no virtue in fact !
I look for Virtue and found non in my Communist mate and that Builder mate in fact ! Like were is his virtue ?

So as for a leadership ? one without Virtue is all hot air ! they can not abide in Christ Jesus in fact ! because they are only a husk sadly for they are all about mans works in fact ! and Jesus pointed out that such was full of deceptions and delusions ! so they are truly loosers regardless, for they do not have Life in abundance. for they can not see.
They have not eyes to see or ears to hear ! that is not Leadership at all.
They are spiteful, will do wrong at the drop of a hat, with no regard !

Like some one has parked their car outside of their house so they are going to do X, Y and Z ! crap like that ! and i am like well i get ripped off everyday, maybe the whole day destroyed, costing me a huge deal, nothing i can do about it. just cop it sweet ! I could not give a rats who parked outside my house.

Canada is not going to become another State of the USA !
Canada has to get it's ass into gear ! and become Canada once again !

Looks like you haven't read all of my posts. Some of you folks are making judgments about Canada based on ignorance and with blinders on. Our situation is EXACTLY the same as you have going on in America. Spiritually and politically. So pot/kettle.

And just like your Republicans just did, the Conservatives here are poised to win this next election soon to come in a landslide (even bigger than yours was). Many people began to wake up out of their stupor beginning with the trucker protest we had here and because this government has tanked the economy. The poll numbers are absolutely disastrous for the Liberals.....lowest levels ever seen, and this woke ideologically-driven Prime Minister is hugely unpopular now and hated by many, and he has been forced to announce his resignation as soon as his party elects another leader, which I think they have until the end of March to do so, if I'm not mistaken. At that time we are anticipating a vote of non-confidence with the current government and an election will be called. But the Liberals are not going to win no matter who is leader, most people here are so angry and fed up with that whole party.

With the Conservatives in power and their leader who is smart and practical minded, and has a backbone from what I can tell, I believe America will have a negotiating partner and ally who is awake to the various dangers that are facing our two nations and wants the same things you want.

Your ignorance regarding America is your responsibility. We ,our country, is not EXACTLY like Canada.

Of course our nations are not exactly the same, but our respective political landscapes are the same. We are fighting the same battle here against globalism and socialist so-called liberalism that you are in America.

What you posted above should really read "Canada's Liberal Party Crackdown on Religious Freedom"......expect the Conservatives will be fixing that ASAP just like your Republicans under Trump will be fixing a lot of the damage that the Dems inflicted under Biden.

We'll see.

 

[Lizbeth]

We'll see.

Amen, and by the same token we'll see about you as well.

Hope America doesn't end up violating some of those principles you hold dear, like freedom and self-governance, in order to try and preserve them....? Sad and ironic that would be. The ends justifies the means is something Karl Marx (father of communism) believed in.

Amen. That's why I said we shall see. If both our countries turn around for the better. Soon.

I know Canadians. They are proud of their country. Those in Quebec are proud of their French culture and language. They should be proud.

I can understand the focus on the Panama Canal and to a lesser extent, Greenland. While Canada does extensive trading with the US, culturally, they see themselves as distinct.

As a child, I watched many hockey games. They proudly sang their national Anthem, “Oh Canada” as we were proud to sing ours.

The French came over and took over a chunk of Canada? I can't remember reading about that. I wonder if they had to fight Indians too?

Police arrest man after attempting to carry machete, 3 knives into US Capitol, hours before Trump arrives

Police arrest man after attempting to carry machete, 3 knives into US Capitol, hours before Trump arrives

The U.S. Capitol Police arrested a man on Wednesday who attempted to enter the Capitol Building with a machete and three knives, hours before Trump arrived to meet Republicans.

www.foxnews.com

3 Knives? Were they throwing knives? The machete was prolly for his exit I'm guessing?
Well if they tried two gunmen and couldn't get him, maybe this time they sent a guy with knives? But arn't those guys supposed to be even better as assassins than guys with guns because they have to get closer to the client.

Either somebody didn't pay up enough to get a real guy so he botched it (Lol) or even more likely, it was the grace of God botching the man's plans?

I gave the link for you to re-familiarize yourself with it. You could read it. LOL.

Because I’m not sure what your ‘we’ orientation is, let me summarize. Colonial powers of Europe were ascendant during this era. Starting with Spain, led by Columbus and the Conquistadors, mainly in south and central America’s, French in Canada and England in the North American East coast.

Pawns in these European powers were the European settlers in their colonies and the indigenous peoples, aka Indians. Some Indians nations fought with the French against the English and other Indian nations fought with the English against the French.

This 7 year world wide conflict was a proximate cause for England to raise taxes on their colonies because the colonists were the primary beneficiary of the conflict. This led to the American War of Independence a dozen or so years later.

 

[Scott Downey]

We will, will we? Thank you. And what does that mean exactly?

That Greenland part of the USA, if it happens, will benefit Greenland far more as Canadians don't EVER want to join the US, and the way I see it Canadian pride gets in the way, when really, they have little to be proud about. I think it's more likely for Greenland to join the US than Canada. Seeing most are Inuit, it is not too likely unless they actually experience personal greed (as in more money and higher standard of living) over staying independent, poor and backward and undeveloped. Some of their concerns are they are Inuit, and they don't want to lose their 'Inuit-ness', their cultural identity.

One of the interests of USA is exploiting Greenland's resources, oil, gas, minerals, and indigenous peoples often don't want that to happen.

What happens truly behind it all ? Like Gay Rights ? who pushed this total nosense so far, that such became totaly stupid moronic dictatorship !
I understand that the Gays had the cold shoulder treatment, that some did not deserve ? but hell who could of thought that Gay rights could of become so Nazi like and totaly dominate over everyone like a mongrel mutt ! who can clearly destoy anyone livelyhood for life and get away with it scot free ! much of the likes that the Nazi could do with anyone who did not fall into line with them in fact ! it's the same game play ! and the majority just fall into line because the Nazi like dominated Media will go on the Attack with Nazi like dominating tactics to stop anyone from talking openly on all such issues. Tyrants they truly are ! for they do not want people to become educated on the subject but endoctrinated in fact ! That's how Hitler and Starlin dominated over their People in fact, such were against freedom of speech ! because they are criminals and can not stand to be open and free with issues because then their Power over the People will come crashing down in fact !

I am not against Gay people ? just that i will call some of them out for being a degenerate, just as i will do with anyone who is streight ! Like Here stop that ! one is being depraved regardless who or what they are ! because somthings are clearly not in the intrest of anyone, if it's abuse. one does not conduct ones self in a degenerate manner that is harmful and regressive or just down right stupid !

When Wars take off ? who holds such truly to account ? where is the openest !
One person gets killed etc in your local Town and look it's a big deal, that's fair enought ! but some bastard War is going on with thousands of people being killed etc and Nothing ! Not a care in the world in regards ? why well the MSM etc do not want too educate people on the issue, because our people may wake up ! and bother to look into such ! is it right or is it a nonsense ?
Are the People truly serious about real issues ?

How about Human rights ? what is Human Rights ? something that the UN made up etc for it's own ends ? it's so full of holes that it holds no water ! sounds good ! but so does the Pied Piper.
