Washington’s point of view on the inclusion of Canada – this is a joke, right? right?

In normal times, the G7 leader and NATO will accuse an American president of having a passion as an explosion with a multi -Megaton address from the news, leaving shock waves for several months.

These are not normal times.

Donald Trump’s repeated talk is treated at the annexation of Canada at a global level as a joke in Washington. Or, perhaps, as a trick for negotiation. If not, US President will face climbing in the Himalayas to make him a reality.

Consensus in Washington that it cannot be serious – right? right? -It is reflected in the immediate immediate coverage of Al Ain’s statements made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was hearing business leaders, yes, Trump Really it will I like to seize Canada.

Apparently, the US President made a hidden comment in his phone call on Monday afternoon with Trudeau about reading a 1908 Treaty of the Settings of Canada and the United States And you find it interesting. He did not explain.

The story was at the bottom of the New York Times home page, and its location is steeped in stories Illegal actions By the new administration.

It was in the middle of the road below the home page at Wall Street Journal, below the routine economic The news was not on the home of the Washington Post at all.

Also, not all this hadith appeared in hearings in the last Congress where Canada appeared prominently: one about trade and definitions, one on minerals.

In the latter, Trump’s democratic mocked his threat to the definitions of one of the neighbors containing copper of vital aluminum, cobalt, graphite, lithium and more.

“The stable genius decided to start a commercial war with (Canada),” said Representative Rod Island Seth.

There was no mention to make Canada state 51 and change the political map of North America and the electoral map of the United States.

Republican Senator Ted Cruz waved Trump’s plan on his podcast this week, describing it as “an epic dwarf … I think it was just a series of departure (Trudeau).”

Huge road barriers

The reason for deducting this talk may be the poor policy in that: the Canadian state slight to Significantly Do not be popular, according to US public opinion polls.

It seems very doubtful that this unpleasant, complex and very controversial plan will get a critical bloc with enough support to win the vote in the US Congress, not to mention the approval of that long in Canada.

Some current American regions know this from the experience. They have been working for decades to get such sounds through Congress.

One of the old warriors says in the battle even if there is enough supporters in Congress, the actual sounds will be a political minefield.

Legislators will have to agree to reduce their own authority – about fifteen seats at home to Canada, in addition to the number of new countries that have been offered, four, or six seats in the Senate.

“This would mainly change the balance of power within that body,” said George Lawers Garcia, Executive Director of the Portoreuko Council Council.

“Is this something in which Congress will jump? I don’t think so.”

There is a little time: Trump has a majority of a highly drilling house and may lose it in the mid -23 -month period. If he continues to talk about unpopular ideas like annexing Canada, Trump may not be inadvertently hurry up this process.

Trump’s end weight

However, the parts of the evidence that Trump has died serious about regional expansion, began to accumulate into a difficult mountain to refer.

He mentioned it in his opening speech. He continues to talk about that – in the context of Canada, Panama, Greenland and now Gaza.

His envoy in the Middle East is Property developer Trump talks about the construction of real estate in Gaza after the population was transferred to another place; Trump’s son -in -law Jared Kushner Similar thing months ago.

There is sufficient evidence that Trump is no longer satisfied with his current stop as an American president for a period of time-and he has empire’s ambitions.

Which may not be surprising in view of two Biography From the man, including one wrote it His sister’s daughterInclude the phrase “Never Sufficient” in the title.

But some people who are studying in the United States still do not buy it.

One of the analysts of imperialism in the history of the United States tells that he does not expect a nation to participate in his life.

Daniel Merrioury, a professor at Northwestern University and author of the book “Daniel Merrioury How to hide an empire.

He says he believes that Trump is happy to shock people – in saying strange things, either for fun, or in seeking to achieve some goals.

He said that this goal may be a new commercial deal with Canada, the desired result in Gaza, or a new security arrangement in Greenland and Panama.

He does not rule out the possibility of Trump dangerous. If so, IMMERWAHR says, he seeks no less than a return to the global order as it was before World War II.

In this opinion, Gone is the world in which the United States usually hides its solid power and has used soft energy tools such as trade, aid and global institutions to practice its tremendous influence and achieve the desired results.

This will be a return to the world where the great powers threaten the lands of their neighbors – says IMMERWAHR.

“Gaza’s conversation may be similar. He expressed doubt that the believers are demanding an exercise to build a state in the Middle East with many destructive capabilities.

He says, the idea of ​​annexing the western western hemisphere dates back to the nineteenth century and the doctrine of Monroe, as Trump alluded in his opening speech by talking about the expansion of the United States

But whatever Trump is doing, it is still the moment of water gatherings.

“To the extent that Trump uses the threats of annexation only as negotiating a trick, we are in an unknown area.” Tomorrow, the world: the birth of American global sovereignty.
