In Trump's words, Canada would be the only of the 3 territories #Panama #Greenland not to be invaded by the US army (but subjugated by "economic force"). Given his ability to obsess, things are only going to get worse. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal
Trump's intention marks a rejection of decades of U.S. policy that has prioritized self-determination over territorial expansion.

My research, and that of my colleagues, shows that we can achieve good lives for all within planetary boundaries. Our research (and reality) also exposes how those profiting from inequality, violence & plunder are doing EVERYTHING in their power to prevent us from getting there.

President-elect Trump showed that his “America First” philosophy has an expansionist dimension by calling for or asserting U.S. control over the Panama Canal and Greenland. Greenland's government immediately rejected his demands, as did Panama’s president.
