Donald Trump's recent bold and unconventional geopolitical proposals have ignited a firestorm of speculation. Ideas like annexing Canada, the path of Ukraine/Russia peace, and his Gaza plans seem like jackhammer strikes when compared to business as usual in Washington. Opinions remain divided over whether his approach reflects strategic insight or risky overreach, especially given the complex dynamics between Ukraine, Russia, and the broader international community.
The world is uncertain with Donald Trump's presidency reshaping the global stage. Depending on perspective, it's either a bold new chapter or a more troubling extension of past dynamics. Trump's rapid-fire domestic and foreign policy decisions have many countries on edge, fueling widespread speculation. Among the more striking are Trump's idea for Canada as the 51st state, talks of purchasing Greenland, transforming Gaza into a luxury resort rivalling Mar-a-Lago, and even throwing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky under the proverbial bus. From the calculated to the chaotic, each idea sparks debates about its brilliance or recklessness. Here's an analysis of whether these actions could represent strategic brilliance or reckless unpredictability.
Hey! What About Saskatchewan?
Donald Trump is a crackerjack business dealer, but five minutes of geography would help him understand that Canada has ten provinces, one bigger than Texas. Sure, the new U.S. of A could benefit from having 60 states rather than 50, and the Canadians would probably make out in the end. Since all the provinces except one (Quebec) speak predominantly English, the language barrier does not seem so big. Culturally, there would be a lot of adjusting, but since the U.S. and Canada have been friends for so long, Trump's idea has the ring of genius. That is if the majority of the Canadian and American people want such a superstate. Interestingly, the combined potential of a Greater U.S.A. would equal the current GDP of China, Russia, and India. This, of course, negates the apparent possibility of a fully developed Russia.
On the upside for the U.S., Canada produces about 60 much-needed minerals. The country is among the top five global producers of diamonds, gemstones, gold, indium, niobium, platinum group metals, titanium concentrate, uranium, and aluminium. Canada also has 10% of the world's proven oil reserves, putting the country 3rd behind Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. The Canuks are also the 5th largest producer of natural gas. The Canadians would benefit from collective markets and security, but their welfare state does not exactly match how the U.S.A. does things. There could be a meeting somewhere in the middle. Interestingly, the idea of the U.S. annexing Canada is not Donald Trump's invention. Since America's independence from Great Britain, various annexationist groups and popular figures have striven to see part or all of the country become part of the U.S.A. My vote on this one is that it's unlikely, even if it is logical and beneficial to the two countries.
A Palestinian Buyout
Turning to Trump's buying Gaza and turning it into a seaside resort, here is where the new president's policy development gets interesting. The billionaire real estate titan proposes that the 1.8 million Palestinians who once lived in Gaza be relocated to places like Egypt and Jordan. My first thoughts on this were that Netanyahu had yanked Trump's string even before the election to ensure "Greater Israel" becomes a reality. Though the Palestinians have been under a jackboot for decades, there is a kind of evil genius to this plan. We should not forget the 15,000 innocents Israel killed to get at a few hundred enemies, and it's way past time for these people to get a fair shake. I will get some static, but here's my plan to resolve this ludicrous situation.
Let Trump and Israel do whatever they want with the former Palestine. However, here's the catch. Rather than just loading up on trucks the poor and homeless Gaza (or West Bank) people, let the Zionists pay for the land rather than steal it. And, if Trump wants Gaza so badly, let him chip in with American dough. Give the 1.8 million Palestinians a grubstake of, let's say, $40,000 per person. That figure is much less than former president Joe Biden gave Zelensky to launder money for our arms industry. $72 billion is a cheap price to completely solve one of the most horrific conflicts in modern times. And let's face it, the Zionists can afford it. Now, as to relocating these folks. Well, I will take more criticism for suggesting it. Still, Russia needs people to settle in the vast, green, natural Eden along the loneliest parts of the Transrussia railway and transport system. Why not get the wonderful IMF to give grants to Palestinians who would rather live where there's more than sand and dust? Give the Zionists what they want, and tell them to STFU. Build that stairway to heaven and a penthouse by the sea of all the Jews. Rest secure with an American outpost of luxurious penthouses right next door! You feel the genius, I know. Just think, we can finally stop hearing about Israeli this or Israeli that.
The Inevitable Split
Now, let's look at Ukraine and Zelensky's coming departure. Tyler Durden outlined the clown puppet's situation on ZeroHedge here. Trump has said the Ukraine leader is nothing more than an unelected dictator. The implications are clear. It is abundantly clear that Russia will take over everything East of the Dnipro River sooner rather than later, this should be the first point of a negotiated ceasefire. What could be fairer than splitting things right down the middle? Ukraine's forces should pull back to the West bank of the Dnipro, and Russia's forces should halt in place. Once this is agreed upon, all the people east of the river should be allowed to vote, whether Russian or Ukrainian. In conjunction with other nonpartisan organisations, the UN should monitor the voting. Then, the lines should be redrawn, and/or people should be re-established in regions where their sentiments reside. There is a president for this on every continent.
This would not be some forced migration like the disaster when India was partitioned, but a slower, smoother establishment of a better solution. What is left of Ukraine should never be allowed into NATO. As for EU affiliation, I suspect the Russians could care less. The EU experiment is a failure anyhow, so the new Ukraine would end up being just another solitary nation allied with whatever the European elites come up with next. They may fight it out themselves to figure out who the boss of the continent is. Judging from the news from Riyadh, it looks like Brussels, Paris, Berlin, and even London are just out in the cold. This is especially true if Trump wants to reestablish economic and diplomatic ties with Russia. Since President Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin have already begun Ukraine peace deliberations in Saudi Arabia without the EU or Zelensky, it seems safe to assume a brave new world is upon us. Trump has also said Zelensky "had better hurry up or he won't have a country left." It looks like Trump is ramrodding a massive reset with Russia, the Europeans, and perhaps the rest of the world. While Elon Musk and DOGE begin the cleanup of wasted trillions back home, Trump's foreign relations team have set out to slap sense into the EU.
As for Ukraine, Trump wants the lunatics there to pay Americans back, but we all know this is Blackrock talking, not Donald Trump. As for rare minerals, Elon Musk can easily buy Lithium from the Russians once relations have normalised. The only significant resources in Western Ukraine are massive coal deposits, some Subcarpathian region oil and gas reserves, and wheat. The latter is what Blackrock and other investment pirates are after, along with the trillions it will take to rebuild the country's infrastructure. At the end of the day, Europe does not really have a leg to stand on given their only viable sources of energy are controlled by either Russia, or the United States. It would be fun to be a fly on the wall in the private villas or estates where the elites are scampering for viable strategies.
Problematic Europe - Always
According to the latest news from the battle lines, Russian forces are already pushing forward to positions on the East bank of the Dnipro all across the Southeastern front. It would not take much for Kharkiv to be surrounded, and more than half of its population is Russian. And to end this note, President Trump told reporters this week that Ukraine 'may be Russian someday,' ahead of the Vance-Zelensky meeting. So, if Zelensky knows what's good for him, he'll strike a deal just like the one I described above without hesitation. When the U.S. president suggests America is giving up on a NATO Ukraine, it signals game over for puppet dictators like Zelensky. Also, when Vice President Vance told the Europeans they were their worst enemies at the Munich Security Conference, you could see the horror of those dreaming of a new thousand-year Reich.
Of course, my analysis of this is highly speculative. However, the spheres of influence and control I am talking about are simply aching sores on the future of humanity. This divisiveness has been a blight on us all for centuries now. The best course in the future will be to give everyone not necessarily exactly what they want but something each side can live with. It's crystal clear the Israelis are not prepared to live with much of anybody. Can the United States expand without bloodshed? Well, there's a lot to be said for cheaper gas, more jobs, and groceries for Greater America citizens (including Greenlanders). As for Ukraine, it's not even a legitimate country since the Euromaidan coup, in my humble opinion. I think Trump is right. Ukraine should always have been part of Russia (with a sliver in the West for the Polish Empire).
I'd like to hear your thoughts.
