51st state.

Recently there have been a lot of talk about the 51st state. For instance, there is Puerto Rico, currently a U.S. territory, and every four years try’s to get a vote to join the union, but fails. Then there is the District of Columbia city of Washington, our federal capital. There has been talk by the democrat political party leaders to make it the 51st state. Of course it is heavily democrat, so that is their reason.

Then there is the talk by President Trump of making Canada the 51st state. It’s probably a tongue in cheek suggestion, and it ruffled a lot of feathers, but it is out there.

Then there is Greenland. Now that makes sense, it is in our sphere of influence in North America, for our national security, and has a lot of interest by Russia, which is our adversary. The current European country , Denmark, which controls Greenland as its colony, is weak and economically unable to defend Greenland from a hostile takeover by hostile foreign powers, or defend the U.S. we might have to make it our 51st state to protect our interests, including our economic interests, like the mining of rare earth minerals.

Then there is Panama, and the canal that the U.S. built and ran for years, which President Carter gave to Panama and which China eventually took control. President Trump has w restyled it away from China, and has taken control of the canal again. Maybe Panama will become the 51st state.

Cuba could be next. There has been talk about regime change, the collapse of the economy, and the U.S.take over of Cuba. Could Cuba be the 51st state?

For quite a few years an idea has been floating around that because of the special relationship between the U.K. And the U.S.A. England should become the 51st state. It hasn’t been brought up by any president, but the idea has just been circulating by various people on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and in some circles has been received favorably. It’s sounds kind of out there, but who knows. It could happen.

And now, on the news today, I heard about Venezuela could be the 51st state since the capture of the illegitimate president Madura’s capture and arrest. Could be.

It appears that the rise of the American empire is on the rise.

Give me your thoughts here. Favourable or unfavorable. Enquiring minds want to know.
