That's not funny (laughs to self)

Meme goes hard, lmao. Trump bringing back US expansionism wasn't on my bingo card at all and I fully expected absolutely incoherent shenanigans, lmao.

That said, there is decent analysis that suggests the US may be targeting claims to the arctic as they become more accessible, and Canada and Greenland have significant claims.

I think that's exactly what this is about, as well as US drawing lines around what it sees to be its core sphere of influence. Note how Trump also acknowledged the fact that Russia has their sphere of influence in his press conference. Seems like there's finally a realization in US that the unipolar moment is over.

Yep, seems like a desparate attempt to use up remaining Imperialist hegemony in an effort to crystalize that in the form of tangible land ownership, rather than the more subtle forms of power the US already had over these areas to prevent losing said power later.
