When Donald Trump was elected to the office of president for the second time in November 2024 many began to prepare for what would come next. Millions fled from the micro blogging site which is know as twitter to anyone without a hangup from over two decades ago. The price of eggs (a part of Mr Trumps campaign) rose rapidly. Most people could predict that the rise of Trump and the people that came with him would damage the world.
However most would not have predicted the onslaught of intentions to seize territory. Within his first month of being the commander in chief of the worlds biggest military Donald Trump made claim to:
- Gaza
Saying "we will take it" and "we will own it" many assumed that trump would simply allow the Israel government too continue their mass killing of the two million occupants of the gaza strip (a part of the nation of Palestine). It is still possible that this was just the ageing presidents way of saying that Israel would manage the territory and the usa would simply organize the mass deportations or mass killings of the 1.7 million native population but it still sent shock waves through the international community.
- Panama
The Panama canal is the big provider of support to the state of panama and acts as a water bridge between the pacific and Atlantic ocean's. The president of the united states has announced his intention to take it.
- Ukraine
Ukraine has received just over 100 billion in us government aid. In order to "compensate" for helping it's ally defend it's territory from Russian invasion Donald trump requested ownership of 50% of Ukraine's natural resources along with it's ports forever. A Deal that would effectively make Ukraine a colony of the united states and a arguably worse deal then the one forced on the Irish government by the English government after the war of independence fought against England.
- Canada
The pitch, what if Canada, a country bigger then the entire united states became it's 51st state. Canada is a member of the commonwealth and King Charles 3ed of England serves as it's head of state a role Donald trump would presumably take over At first the USA had simply threatened to crush the Canadian economy. Promising lower taxes and ignoring the superior health care Canadians enjoy. However as it became clear that more then 90% of Canadians apposed the idea, it soon turned to a more violent threat with the "Leader of the free world" implying that if Canada was attacked the USA would not help them.
- Greenland
Greenland is the most northerly country on the planet, it is mostly unpopulated with around 60,000 people but those people largely are not in favor of united states takeover. The reason given for the takeover of 2 million square kilometers of land was military security however the usa already has a base there and likely wants Greenland's minerals.
The takeover of all the Countries Would (excluding Ukraine and panama) mean a increase in:
population of at least - 41.5 million people
land of at least - 12,000,000 km squared
yearly economy - 2.6 trillion
which would be more then 10% increase to population and yearly economy and 120% increase in area.
The Eu
The Eu likely will struggle with America's growing territorial ambitions not only with their ally's disappearing but also as was seen from the 1st in line to the presidency Mr James Vance, united sates has begun embracing the far right across the world.
India and Russia have successfully warmed the heart of the trump administration as has the neo nazi party in Germany who have been endorsed by Americas shadow president South African Born Mr Musk. There is a serous risk that America will interfere in eu country elections with Mr Vance Criticizing a court ruling Russian interference in Romania's elections. Mr Vance's suggestion/demand that the eu should ignore Russian interference is of real concern.
These parties if they win will destroy the eu economy and likely will raid it or allow it to be raided alternatively if they only partially win America will likely react like a petulant child.
All in all why it may seems alarmist too say that the American army may seize land from at least five nations but unless the American army publicly say's that they will not attack their ally's, this the power of the American president.
The other issue is that, while these country's likely will fold if attacked that does not mean that the people within those nations will not "react". It is a real concern that America is currently inviting it's next 9/11 and the difference is this time both parties are not unified on the takeover of foreign countries. As such a targeted attack on members of Mr Trump's administration would likely be fairly effective (not Mr trump himself however as he was elected and would be replaced by someone worse).
