If Trump's Dreams Come True, the U.S. Will Expand to the Size of the USSR 0 10

A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Congress regarding the "annexation and granting of state status" to Greenland by the United States, reports the Congress website.

"Greenland is not a remote outpost that we can ignore; it is a vital national security resource. Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping routes and the security architecture that protects the United States," Republican Congressman Randy Fine justified the upcoming annexation.

It should be noted that the area of the long-forgotten Greenland, which has suddenly become a center of world politics, is 2,166,000 square kilometers.

After the Greenland issue is resolved, the question of Canada (area 9,985,000 square kilometers) will obviously arise, which Trump has been eyeing since the first day of his current term.

If Canada becomes another state of the U.S. under Trump's pressure, the area of the new superstate will be 22,018,000 square kilometers. This is about one-seventh of the Earth's land area, including neutral Antarctica.

It should be noted that the area of the USSR at the time of its dissolution was 22,400,000 square kilometers. To catch up and surpass the Soviet Union, land collector Trump needs to find an additional 382,000 square kilometers somewhere. This is approximately the area of Zimbabwe, Japan, or Germany. In this geopolitical situation, Harare, Tokyo, and Berlin should not relax.
