A Proposed American Empire

 

Trump openly wants Greenland. He says he wants Canada. 

Canada and Greenland would make the US the world’s largest country, rich in resources it can easily defend. To be honest, it makes sense, and would probably be best for all concerned. I can’t imagine why I would resist being annexed to the US.

Who else should be allowed in? What might an American Empire look like?

They should also annex Cuba. Cuba is not culturally similar. But it would be a mercy. And Cuba is a good forward base in the Caribbean. 

They should annex Guyana—rich in resources, culturally compatible, and a footprint in South America.

Other Caribbean islands do not seem worth the trouble—they would be welfare cases. Except perhaps for the Bahamas.

America should annex Singapore—culturally compatible, and a vital choke point and military base between the Middle East and Far East.

They should annex Australia and New Zealand, for their resources and simply because they are essentially the same ethnicity. Just as China lays claim to Taiwan, it makes no sense for the Anglosphere to be split into separate countries any longer, given our vastly advanced communications and transportation.

On the same principle, the US should form a union with Britain and Ireland. Together again at last. This gives them their forward base for Europe. I think Ireland would be game to come in so long as the US was the dominant partner, and not the UK. This would at the same time solve the problem of Irish reunification and the Northern Irish border. Win-win-win.

They should also annex Malta—they wanted to join the UK decades ago, and they are a strategic point in the Mediterranean. 

The invitation should be extended to the Philippines. Everyone there speaks English to some extent, they are Christian, and they generally embrace American values. Granted, they would be an economic burden, at least at first, but if America needs more population, the Philippines are an ideal source. And they are a great forward base for dealing with troubles in East Asia.

Serious consideration might be given as well to inviting Denmark—another strategic point, at the entrance to the Baltic Sea. 

I realize, of course, that most Canadians would say I am speaking treason. I say the charge is silly.
