Why Stop at Canada and Greenland? Extend the American Empire!

As we approach Donald Trump’s upcoming inauguration, leaders in various countries, such as Greenland and Canada, are pondering the implications of the president-elect’s interest in purchasing or annexing their territories. While it is likely that Trump’s statements are part of negotiations, there remains a possibility that he is serious, especially when it comes to Greenland.

One writer using the name “Nodrog Snave” at the American Thinker humorously suggests broadening the offer of American citizenship to other nations or regions, under the motto of “go big or go home.” This pseudonym is believed to be a playful variation of “Gordon Evans” spelled backward. He outlines specific criteria that countries or areas would need to fulfill, which aligns with my own perspective.

However, let’s take seriously Trump’s focus on Canada, Greenland, and Panama. First, the obvious points:

1. America wouldn’t want wimpy Canada until it proves it isn’t a clone of California and has no debt.

2. Greenland can make a choice, and Denmark will probably cooperate…for a fee.

3. Panama is just the reversal of a very bad Democrat decision. There are likely a lot of those coming over the next four years.

4. The Gulf of America? Why not?

While the idea of a potential transaction involving Greenland raises concerns about the concept of paying off adversaries, there are broader considerations to be made when contemplating similar propositions for the rest of the world.

America should offer to the world the chance to be part of America—part of the winning team—but its not an easy membership. The countries would have to adopt the American Bill of Rights and the United States Constitution as the starting point.

There would be other criteria: No or negligible debt, Judeo-Christian sensibilities, probably English speaking (or willing to make it the second language), accepting the US Dollar, and withdrawing from the UN, WHO, EU, and all corrupt world organizations. (The U.S. should do all of these things, too.)

A nation would apply for US constitutional status, and the American people would decide. No lobbyists or backroom deals. It would all be out in the open. The status “awaiting approval” would give the country security and American protection during the process. That is, threats to these nations would be dealt with harshly by America, not necessarily militarily, but not something anyone would want to try.

Yeah, that seems a good start, although I’m not sure how you’d measure the second requirement, for Judeo-Christian sensibilities. But I’d add some requirements to that list.
