Trump Exposing America To Russian Attack

 

The Malignant Fascist's seemingly moronic obsession with annexing Canada is rightly being taken seriously by our good friends to the north.  There are some reasons why, the basic ones being his instability, stupidity, and sociopathic narcissism.  Others have to do with the Malignant Fascist's notion of accumulating wealth and some almost certainly are at the bidding of his manager, war criminal Putin.  The New York Magazine discusses his "... Wildest Threats Against Canada," including the on- again, off- again tariffs, which the Malignant Fascist sees as a way to make Canada's economy collapse and make it ripe for takeover.   Here are some highlights of the bizarre, but wholly conceivable, thought process of our Stable Genius:

Annex Canada using “economic force” … for its minerals?

... In February, the Toronto Star reported on a series of comments from Justin Trudeau talking about his conversations with Trump that were captured on a hot mic. Per the outlet, Trudeau told a room full of Canadian business leaders at the Canada-U.S. Economic Summit that Trump’s words stem from a desire to obtain Canada’s critical minerals. “They’re very aware of our resources, of what we have, and they very much want to be able to benefit from those,” he said. “But Mr. Trump has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country, and it is a real thing.”

Redraw the U.S. -Canada border 

Trump has reportedly taken his talk about annexing Canada to new heights. The New York Times reported that the president spoke to Trudeau in early February and questioned the validity of the 1908 treaty that established the border between Canada and the United States and that he wanted to “revise the boundary.” ...

Redistribute the Great Lakes (and take Canada's water)

The phone call between not-yet-confirmed Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and Canadian finance minister Dominic LeBlanc, reported by the Times, also broached the subject of the Great Lakes, the five massive freshwater lakes (Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario) that lie along the northern border and contain 21 percent of the world’s freshwater supply. Lutnick reportedly told LeBlanc that Trump is interested in tossing the standing agreements between the two nations on control of the bodies of water...

If that wasn't disturbing enough, now we come to the truly dangerous parts, at the heart of Putin's agenda to strip the United States of intelligence capabilities and protection against attack:

Remove Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance

In February, the Financial Times reported that Peter Navarro, a senior White House adviser, was advocating for Canada’s removal from the Five Eyes, the international intelligence alliance. The coalition, whose origins stretch back as far as World War II, consists of information sharing between the intelligence agencies of the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Though Navarro denied the FT’s reporting, a new report suggests that the proposal is still being considered in the White House’s circle.

According to the New York Times, Lutnick spoke on the phone with LeBlanc and laid out numerous grievances that Trump had toward Canada. One issue top of mind for Trump was the Five Eyes alliance that, Lutnick claims, Trump wished to remove Canada from.

Cancel NORAD

Per the Times report, Lutnick also told LeBlanc that Trump was reconsidering military cooperation, including the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) — the long-standing partnership that aims to protect the continent from outside threats like nuclear missile attacks. Since then, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has apparently tried to assure Canada that this was not going to happen, according to the Times’ sources.  (our emphasis)

That would be Lil Marco Rubio, who disappeared into the cushions when the Malignant Loser and his pet flying monkey J.D. ambushed President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.  We don't think Lil Marco has much say with the Malignant Fascist, do you?  

What is more likely is that the other Five Eyes member countries, who have made clear that Canada will not be removed from the alliance, will rather stop sharing their intelligence gathering and sharing capabilities with the Malignant Fascist's regime -- and we should applaud that for all our sakes.  But reflect on that possibility -- the U.S. blowing up the Five Eyes intelligence alliance and pulling out of NORAD and other strategic military partnerships. He's already directed his DEI DUI  Defense Secretary to pause cyber offensive against Russia. Who does all of that directly benefit?

Never in former KGB/ FSB official Putin's wildest, most hopeful dreams could he have imagined a President of the United States making an enemy of our neighbor and one of our closest allies while simultaneously stripping the United States of one of its most essential early warning systems intended to alert us of a nuclear attack over the North Pole by Russia.  But then who in this country in their wildest dreams 30 years ago would have imagined the Malignant Fascist -- a Russian asset and national security threat -- being elected not once but twice to the Presidency?

He's "moving fast and breaking things," all right:  our military and national security alliances, our "soft power" and whatever international goodwill we still enjoyed. The one thread connecting it all:  Putin and the strategic goals and interests of Russia.  

The big question remaining is will our non- political military and national security officials, seeing what the Malignant Fascist is doing in service to Putin and at great peril to our country, going to stand up?  Will we, each in our own preferred way?
