Donald Trump’s national security strategy proposes a "Greater North America" concept, aiming to establish U.S. dominance over the entire Western Hemisphere as a, "secured zone". This strategy focuses on controlling the region, from the Arctic to the Panama Canal, and minimizing influence from foreign powers like China. It represents a "three bully world" approach, focusing on securing the homeland from immigration and foreign interference, with an emphasis on acquiring control over natural resources and strategic locations.
Actually the idea was being presented by Peter Hegseth, but you gotta know he was just mouthing what Trump is thinking.
How should Canada respond?
With typical laid-back, don't take it all so seriously, Canadian approach?
Hell, no.
My ideas:
Form an partnership with other nations being bullied (Mexico, hell, even China, Australia, Brazil) that includes an mutual defense agreement. Can it be done? Maybe not, but try.
Ask the UK, since Canada is still part of the Commonwealth, to station a few warships and airforce assets in Canada.
Canada should quickly take some of it's nuclear material and build an arsenal of dirty bombs - since actually building a real nuke would take too much time.
Enhance the military and place them in locations likely to be struck by the US.
Canada can in no way withstand aggression from the US but we could make any attempt miserable for them.
I would even consider turning off the power that Canada supplies to some of the northern states on a short term basis to let them feel what it would feel like to lose Canadian power.
Or are my ideas too extreme and Canadians should just sit back and take laid-back, don't take it all so seriously approach?
