Trump Setting up Invasion of Greenland, Canada

He’s not kidding.
He’s crazy.
He’s done so much damage already it’s terrifying.

He’s following Putin’s playbook in the way he’s treating Canada, much like Putin acted towards Ukraine pre-invasion.
He is putting Europe in the position of deciding whether to defend the front door against Putin, or the back door against Trump. This is demonic, and almost everyone is treating it like it’s a sideshow. It is not.

Trump’s Most Likely Plan of Action

Phase 1 – Political Destabilization and Subversion of Greenland

In his India Today interview, Howard Lutnick spelled it out. “We need Greenland for national security for the Arctic. Everyone would agree that Greenland is vital. And why is Denmark there? Because the Vikings conquered it hundreds of years ago? I mean, what does Denmark have to do with Greenland? You know the answer is nothing,”

The next likely path is for the White House to make increasingly dramatic statements about demanding a referendum amongst the people of Greenland. Coupled with a massive social media campaign backed by Elon Musk, a false narrative that Greenlanders want to join the United States would start to permeate the right-wing and pro-Russian news media. Trump and his staff have already commented that Greenland is critical to the United States for “national security.” What they failed to mention is that they want access to rare earth minerals for advanced technologies. Although these minerals exist in the United States, there is an imperialistic belief that Canada and Greenland are untapped regions of wealth that America must control if it wants to dominate the 21st century.

Note that an early phone call between Trump and the Danish Prime Minister left the Danes in a panic when they realized his shouting and use of profanities convinced them that he was dead serious about seizing Greenland. So, what is the goal of all of this talk? The goal of seizing Greenland would give Trump’s imperialist and technologist cronies access to massive under-ice mineral deposits. Note that these could only be accessed if Trump lets climate change continue to take its toll on the North Sea Ice. Also, in the political uproar of a military annexation, the United States could use the pretext of moving its naval and military assets into defensive positions near Greenland for a surprise invasion of Canada.

Phase 2 – Economic Destabilization of Canada

To get a false Casus Belli, Trump would likely dump massive amounts of money into fringe political groups. One of them is Wexit, a group that wants Western Canada, particularly the oil-rich provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, to split and join the USA. Groups such as these, under the guidance of the Republican party via clandestine pathways operated by the CIA, could receive tens of millions of dollars to fund a nationwide information warfare campaign to give the appearance that there are a large majority of Canadians who want to leave and join the USA. Elon Musk would likely dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars to this ridiculous idea. Coupled with a massive international social media attack, the confusion would be enough to give Trump cover that he was “rescuing” the Canadian people from an extremist liberal autocratic government. Dozens of false polls would cover the truth and drown out opposition.

Phase 3 – Invade Greenland and then Canada

According to the New York Times, on February 3, 2025, a phone call between Trump and Trudeau started acrimoniously and devolved into obscenities. Trump demanded access to the Canadian Dairy market and that Canada stop Fentanyl trafficking across the border, which is a microscopic 43 pounds compared to the 148 pounds Canada had intercepted coming from America and the 21,000 lbs coming in from Mexico. Canada announced their intention to implement a stricter border plan agreed with President Joe Biden, and Trump seemed to acquiesce … but attacks on Canada increased.

The cabinet members themselves have adopted the 51st state Mantra. Most surprisingly, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem went to the Haskell Library and Opera House in Derby, Vermont. The building was deliberately built in 1901 to straddle the border. You can cross the frontier by stepping over a long piece of tape in one room. Noem mockingly stepped across from the American side of the room, where she said, “U.S.A. Number 1!” to the Canadian side, where she sarcastically said, “The 51^st State!”… no less than three times.

On March 7, 2025, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told India Today, “If their economy is entirely based on America, it’s entirely based on the agreements with America, their defense is entirely about America, then it’s interesting for [President] Donald Trump to think what is the right answer for Canada,” He also claims the “vast majority” of Canadian youth want to join the US. This is a fantasy based on an out-of-date poll from the pre-inauguration day that showed 40% of Canadians between 18-34 would want to join the United States but only in certain conditions if they could exchange their money without loss. However, in that poll, 80% of Canadians reject any idea of joining America. It shot up to 90% in the latest Angus/Reid poll. Trump is clearly focusing on the Gen Z white males that may fall under Elon Musk’s thrall. That thrall may not exist.

Marco Rubio in Canada: "The president has made his argument as to why he thinks Canada would be better off joining the United States."
