Allied Planning Must Account for a Low-Probability U.S. Expansion Risk
A participant who says he has studied Trump rallies and violent populism argues that Canada, Greenland and Venezuela should treat U.S. territorial rhetoric as a planning risk, even if invasion remains unlikely. He ties the danger to a stronger MAGA coalition after the 2028 election and says Trump’s talk of borders, resources and Greenland has become more consequential since his return to power. Other participants offer possible motives, including demographic pressure, while one cautions that U.S. political division has historical precedents and need not signal national rupture.
