Trump again floats Canada joining the U.S. as the 51st state

Not going to happen.
He’s not kidding. The whole “no rules of engagement” speech by Hegseth, Canada should be preparing a drone army by now, Ukraine style.

Why does he think ALL of Canada should be a single state, anyway?

As China explores the Arctic, Canada's military is preparing for confrontation
More than 3,000 kilometres north of the nation's capital, soldiers, ships and aircraft of Canada's Armed Forces gathered this week in one of the most remote areas of the country to answer one question: How would they board a foreign vessel that neither wanted to be seen, nor stopped.What if the crew of that ship was near sensitive military sites in the North? It may seem far-fetched. But smaller vessels run routinely through the north often with no transponders — largely invisible to other ships

Mainland China's security focus may indicate plans for Taiwan attack, analysts say
Mainland China's intense focus on security, "all of society" campaigns against foreign spies and stockpiling of food and energy may be rooted in domestic concerns but could eventually double as forward indicators of an imminent attack on Taiwan, witnesses told a US congressional commission on Thursday. "It is of supreme importance that we develop a deep understanding of China's preparations for conflict and can discern when they are preparing to make a move," said Clifton Sims, a former deputy d

Happy reading!
Just because its been written doesn’t mean its remotely true. “Evil China is interested in the Arctic” does not mean China has entered Canadian waters. They don’t need to to go to Europe. Nothing ever said about Russia has any motive of truth behind it. The drones BS over Denmark is obvious false flag. The ones that went to Poland came from Ukrainian airspace. The propaganda level is absurdly high, and your mind distorts it even stronger. Reading more cannot cure disinformation if you trust the sources.
But, again, in your mind whether rational or warped, you need to use Canadian forces to amplify US ambitions in ww3, don’t you? There is nothing that makes you understand the US side is the threat?

The precept behind this is that Canada needs the Golden dome to defend itself from Russia or China. What’s lost is that NORAD defends the US from Russia. We should be paid to protect the US from Russia.
If we choose to not demonically hate Russia and China, as a carbon copy of US dictated demonic policy, then there is zero need to defend ourselves from what what we do not threaten. A nuclear attack on Canada involves us crossing a dementia line, where even if we’re not the active threat to human countries, exterminating Canadians is viewed as a net global positive. Europe is far ahead of our dementia, and a legitimate threat to humanity in its demonic fascist evil, we would STFU quickly when US bases in Europe are nuked. We already do not need NORAD for defense of Canada. Our section of golden dome would only be to protect the US, and so if they want to build it, they MUST pay us to build it. They also need to start paying us for NORAD. Chinese missiles will not go through Artic to hit US, and again, the best defense is to stop being stupid vs humanity, and being part of same alliances as US.

North Korea and Russia have a military alliance as North Korean soldiers were fighting in Ukraine with Russia under Russian control.
I agree that it is a press statement being BFFs, but China has been supporting Russia’s war efforts with Russia saying they would also support Chinese war efforts. It is definitely a weird alliance, and they most certainly do not trust each other, but they are clearly working together to be a counter to “Western” influence and are likely going to increase military, intelligence, and trade ties.
I hope that it stops at proxy wars, espionage, and tradefare. I just do not see it as likely given the climate.
It’s true that the three have become kind of aligned, I’ll give you that. But, “alliance” implies something like NATO where an attack on one is an attack on all.
What you’ve mentioned are cases of Russia buying things. The NK troops were sent in exchange for technology and goods. China won’t even sell devoted military hardware, only dual-use civilian technology.
