Was a pipe dream to think Carney would stand up to the orange menace.

But are we preparing?

Drawing the line at Greenland would be better for us. The US economy need to know the world will turn on it.

Also all of this is good for China. Trump hates them and then through stupidity does everything to help them

I would also think defending Greenland would be good training/rehearsal for Canadian troops and equipment.

I think that if every non-US NATO country put boots on the ground in Greenland, Trump would stay the fuck away. He is a coward - he knows that if the rest of us stand together, it would be an ugly fight that would benefit no one. On the other hand, the only way the US wins cleanly in Greenland is if we fail to stand together. It would be good training too, but I think sending (a few of) our troops to Greenland could prevent the war.

Trump might hate Chinese people, because he’s a fucking racist, but he admires Xi Jinping, because Xi is a strong man who made himself President for life. Trump and Xi are on the same team (at least to Trump).
