I am a naturalized B次元官网网址� as an adult B次元官网网址� Canadian citizen originally from the U.S. Regarding President-elect Donald Trump's recent remarks about Canada being the 51st state: Canada should exit NATO, declare neutrality, and seek security guarantees from non-NATO powers immediately.
From the U.S. point of view, Canada is undefended. If the U.S. decides to annex Canada, we have no military capability to deter them. At the very least, we need a friendly source of weaponry with which to mount an insurgency against U.S. occupation.
U.S. history is an open book. All the U.S. understands is force. Its word, signatures, agreements, and treaties all mean nothing.
The Canadian comprador class, which hates democracy and loves stuffing the surplus created by our economy into their own pockets, will welcome the U.S., especially U.S. military occupation, with open arms because it will criminalize and violently dispose of dissenters against oligarchic rule, precisely as U.S. puppet regimes do everywhere.
Trump's "joke" is a declaration of war. Canada's response must be to exit NATO immediately.
