13. This makes sense based on Trump/MAGA mindset and geopolitical realities.

Trump and his minders are quite capable of thinking about taking over Canada and Mexico.

Trump forced Trudeau to grovel at MAL.
And talked about Canada being a great 51st state.
This was not just a joke.

Putin wants control of Ukraine and Europe.
Xi wants Taiwan and control of the Pacific.

Trump gets North America.

It makes sense to me given Trump and MAGA mindset.
And Russian and Chinese geopolitical goals.
