And Then Add Columbia and Venezuela))

This is bordering on fantastical. During his first term he wanted to buy Greenland. Now this))

US President-elect Donald Trump has suggested that Mexico and Canada become US states if they want substantial subsidies from Washington to continue flowing. The incoming US leader made the remarks to NBC News in his first Sunday talk show appearance since winning the presidential election in November. Last month, Trump pledged to impose a 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada unless they stop the flow of migrants and drugs to the US. He defended his stance on tariffs to NBC News ‘Meet the Press’, saying that the US subsidizes Mexico by almost $300 billion annually, while Canada gets around $100 billion per year. “We’re subsidizing Canada to the tune over $100 billion a year. We’re subsidizing Mexico for almost $300 billion. We shouldn’t be – why are we subsidizing these countries? If we’re going to subsidize them, let them become a state,” Trump said.

Looks like it was not tongue in cheek, but an idea. Somebody has to inform him that Canada's aluminum production alone dwarfs that of the US and it is a strategic material for aerospace industry. In fact, Canada produces almost 3.5 times more aluminum than the US. Per Mexico, LOL.

Once in a blue moon an indispensable book comes out making a clear case for sanity in what is now a post-MAD world. That’s the responsibility carried by “The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs,” by Andrei Martyanov (Clarity Press), arguably the most important book of 2019.

Saker's Review.
The above summary does not do justice to Martyanov’s truly seminal book. I can only say that I consider this book as an absolutely indispensable “must read” for every person in the USA who loves his/her country and for every person who believes that wars, especially nuclear ones, must be avoided at all costs.

Asia Times About The Book

Asia Times About The Book
In Losing Military Supremacy, his latest, groundbreaking book, crack Russian military-naval analyst Andrei Martyanov deconstructs in detail how, “the United States faces two nuclear and industrial superpowers, one of which fields a world-class armed forces. If the military-political, as opposed to merely economic, alliance between Russia and China is ever formalized – this will spell the final doom for the United States as a global power.”
