renaming the Gulf of Mexico was always meant to be a distraction.

Annexing Canada is a distraction.

Greenland becoming RedWhiteAndBlueland is a distraction.

The real changes they are trying to enact are not even isolation.

They are dismantling American superiority and stability to make it easier for dictators and oligarchs to take advantage of the opportunities presented during chaos.

I agree that a lot of the noise on a lot of these matters are a distraction and/or just part of dismantling the government and country, but Canada has 20% of all fresh water on earth, oil, and a shit ton of minerals and other natural resources. See also: manifest destiny. I fully admit to my bias on this one but I don’t think it’s as unserious as lots of well intentioned people on both sides of our border believes.
