The world is transitioning from a "rule of law" order to a "rule of jungle" order, where might makes right.
People who understand this will have an easier time in the new world order. The goal now is to make it through the inevitable war, and try to set up a better rule of law next time.
Canada is the first test. The way to handle America is to use the only language bullies know: force and strength. Never back down. Never give an inch. If Canada tries to negotiate, it's done. Whatever agreement is reached, America will renege, and Canada will lose.
The problem is that the USA is capable of far more force and strength than Canada is. It's like an abusive relationship, but one where due to geography, Canada cannot simply leave.
This is the vibe of a bully taking a kids lunch money and then saying 'What are you gonna do about it?'
I'll never forget this feeling. The world is watching.
