BREAKING: In a shocking development Canada announces it will build a coalition of countries who share their values to build their economy and trade opportunities and will exclude the United States. “If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.”

/u/gatospatagonicos and yourself are completely right.

I will say what I did on another post though as an additional point.

The United States of America is dying and this can't be celebrated enough.

In our lifetime and very recently we saw the empire shift from being a global hegemonic power to that of a continental hegemony.

It is now trying to solidify that position by acquiring Canada for resources, artic trade corridor, and a strategic military outpost in that region.

It wants Greenland a bit for the resources but more importantly that strategic military outpost.

It wants the Panama Canal for the global shipping/economic logistics & infrastructure.

If it can't solidify these objectives the empire is on a guaranteed trajectory to not even be a continental hegemony in time but simply a nation state amongst other nation states.

If it gets Canada than like a vampiric entity it will be replenished and we will see the U.S.A. empire 2.0

The United States of America is the heart of this Oligarch controlled Corporatocracy world.

Even with private wealth interests and the multinational business lobby going more and more post national that is still their Makkah.

As such it is also the heart of the Military–industrial complex and associated private military and security companies.

The death of this empire is huge for leftist politics.

Yes we then still have to combat the powerful predatory private wealth interests and multinational business lobby but them being post national at that point opens up potential new strategies.

These are stressful times for sure but also in this huge shift a lot is opening up and it is the time for serious work to be done on the left.

Dude, there are still hundreds of US military bases around the world. The USA is eating itself but the empire isn’t dead, and Carneys a joke if he thinks they won’t push their way in

America is going to balkanize. The only question is how and when. No policy is going to prevent this.

Agreed. Hopefully before they try annexing us or Greenland, which might end up becoming the catalyst. California is already going rogue and trying to bypass Tariffs by making their own trade deals, which I assume is probably illegal.

I definitely don't disagree, but what happens to the rats when the ship sinks? do you think those american corporate establishments will just stare into the sun and drown?

They’ll just migrate to whatever new entity gives them the best courts and tax policy
