Author’s Introduction
Update: The article below is of utmost relevance, specifically pertaining to President Donald Trump’s stance with regard to the Annexation of both Canada and Greenland.
We recall Donald Trump’s statement last December at his luxury Mar a – Lago residence, in a conversation with Canada’s former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
President Elect Donald Trump had intimated in no uncertain terms that Prime Minister Trudeau should become Governor of the 51st state of the United States of America.
Trump and the National Security Strategy (NSS). “Combat Command” Entities
In recent developments, December 2025, coinciding with the launching of the Pentagon’s National Security Strategy (NSS),
“the War Department (DoW) is now envisaging the most significant changes in the US military’s history” including the merger of several of the regional combat command entities Worldwude.
CENTCOM (US Central Command), EUCOM (US European Command) and AFRICOM (US Africa Command) are slated to be integrated.
According to Drago Bosnic: “It seems all three will be merged into the new US International Command (presumably with the acronym INTERCOM), marking the first-ever reduction in the number of American “combatant commands” (currently standing at 11)”
The Sovereignty of Canada and U.S NORTHCOM
The issue of annexation of Canada –which is now being cautiously addressed by the Canadian media– goes back to 2004. It relates to the instatement of US Northern Combat Command.
Prime Minister Jean Chretien refused to negotiate with the Bush Adminstration, more specifically with Donald Rumsfeld. He resigned in 2004 in the wake of the war on Iraq. A new Prime Minister was appointed.
That same year, I addressed the issue in an article entitled: Is the Annexation of Canada part of Bush’s Military Agenda? (November 23, 2004) (which at the time was the object of censorship by the Canada’s mainstream media).
Jean Chrétien
We will also recall the powerful statement of former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien in his Letter to Donald. “From One Old Guy to Another”.
A few days prior to Trump’s inauguration, Jean Chrétien in an open letter to Trump pointed to:
“The totally unacceptable insults and unprecedented threats to our very sovereignty from U.S. president-elect Donald Trump”.
“I have two very clear and simple messages. To Donald Trump, from one old guy to another: Give your head a shake! What could make you think that Canadians would ever give up the best country in the world … to join the United States?
I can tell you Canadians prize our independence. We love our country.
We also had the guts to say no to your country when it tried to drag us into a completely unjustified and destabilizing war in Iraq.”[March 2003] (complete text of letter)
Jean Chretien intimated with astute foresight what is now unfolding under the Trump Presidency:
“Now there is another existential threat.
And we once again need to reduce our vulnerability.
That is the challenge for this generation of political leaders “
The Process of US Militarization of Canada under USNORTHCOM
Jean Chrétien was opposed to USNORTHCOM, which implied the militarization of Canada.
Most Canadians are unaware that under the clauses of US Northern Command –which were accepted and by Prime Minister Paul Martin– following the resignation of Jean Chrétien, the U.S. had acquired the de facto right to “invade” both Canada and Mexico. (see map below).
The map below reveals the territory of USNORTHCOM, which allows the US military to deploy from southern border of Mexico and part of the Caribbean up to the North West territories and Canada’s Artic, not to mention the strategic waterways in Canada’ Northern territories.
The second map indicates USSOUTHCOM
These two immense militarized Combat Command Territories are slated to be merged and integrated. They are described as “Areas of Resposibility” from the military standpoint.
USNORTHCOM
USSOUTHCOM
Monroe Doctrine 2.0. “Combat Command”
In the context of Trump’s Monroe Doctrine 2.0 and the expansion of U.S. military operations in the Western hemisphere (e.g. Venezuela), the merger of USNORTHCOM (US Northern Combat Command based in Colorado) and USSOUTHCOM (US Southern Command based in Florida) into the new US Americas Command is contemplated (presumably with the acronym AMERICOM).
Is this part of a U.S. Hegemonic Agenda which consists in imposing a Combat Command Entity at the level of the entire continent.
No agreements or negotiations with independent nation states. It’s a process of hegemonic intrusion, in derogation of international law.
“Combat Command”: Unspoken Process of “Military Occupation”.
“It will most likely be the largest and most important command, encompassing not only the entire Western Hemisphere, but also the Arctic, where Western powers have become increasingly aggressive in desperate attempts to challenge Russia’s northern dominance. When implemented, the plan will reduce the number of US military commands to “just” eight.
Reports indicate that the Pentagon also discussed creating a separate Arctic Command at one point. The idea was for it to be a “junior” command that would be subordinate to AMERICOM, but the plan never left the drawing board.” (Drago Bosnic, December 19, Global Research, 2025)
What is unfolding is an extensive US Americas Combat Command territory with the acronym AMERICOM –which extends from Canada’s Northern territories in the Arctic to the tip of Argentina in South America and The Antartica, whiich hosts a U.S. military facility.
This militarized AMERICOM territory project under the auspices of the War Department is based on the merger of USNORTHCOM and USSOUTHCOM. It extends over more than 45 countries and territories. Indelibly it constitutes an encroachment of the fundamental rights of sovereign nation states.
Historically the Monroe Doctrine consisted in confronting the intrusion of competing colonial powers in the Americas, namely Spain, the British Empire and France.
In contrast, Monroe Doctrine 2.0 is a hegemonic agenda directed against independent nation states. It consists in regime change coupled with the militarization of the entire continent from the Artic to the Antarctic.
The Annexation of Greenland
In March 2025, President Donald Trump: “renewed his threat of using military force to annex Greenland“.
“saying in an NBC News interview he wouldn’t rule it out to make the self-governing Danish territory a part of the United States”
It’s the latest in Trump’s many comments about seizing control of the resource-rich island, which he insists the US needs for national security purposes.
“I don’t rule it out,” he told NBC News’ Kristen Welker in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I don’t say I’m going to do it, but I don’t rule out anything.”
The Annexation of Canada
President Trump has been persistent in his intent: As confirmed in an incisive October CBC report: the Annexation of Canada is so to speak “on the Table”.
“Is [Trump] trying to change political views in this country?
If so, that’s foreign interference,” said Dick Fadden, who also headed CSIS and served as national security adviser to former prime minister Stephen Harper.” (CBC)
A recent report by the Globe and Mail (October 3, 2025) examines the Annexation issue in detail. Professor Franklyn Griffiths intimates that “A Trump Annexation would likely start in the North”
In other words, it would have an impact on “Canada’s maritime sovereignty”.
“Canada needs to consider the possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump will soon, and without our permission, send American warships into and through the waterways of the Canadian Arctic archipelago, commonly known as the Northwest Passage.
We owe it to ourselves to imagine what an imminent show of American force (rather than an invasion) would mean. We should also use the prospect to deal with and not write off Mr. Trump’s threats to annex us.” (Professor Griffiths)
51st State is “No Joking Matter”
On October 8, Prime Minister Carney meets President Trump in Washington D.C.
On a positive side:
“The Prime Minister and the President welcomed the progress achieved to date in building a new economic and security relationship between their nations. Canada currently has the best trade agreement of any U.S. trading partner, with 85% of Canada-U.S. trade now tariff-free, and our cooperation is further improving border security” (pm-gc-ca PM of Canada)
🚨 Funniest. President. EVER.
CANADA PM CARNEY: “…and, the most important thing—“
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “—the MERGER of CANADA and the United States! 😎”
*Everyone bursts into laughing*
CARNEY: “That wasn’t where I was going! 😂”
