The US wants an impregnable fortress from which to launch attacks. Just living in peaceful cooperation is a lot cheaper and safer. The only battle that needs fighting now is for the climate and against the billionaires.

The American President exists in a bubble of sycophancy. Advisors reinforcing an unrealistic expectation. Trump’s visit to Canada on the surface seemed civil but the US President was fuming. He learned upon arrival that there would be no Canada United States agreement announced. He needs it. Why he could permit himself to believe it?

The rhetoric about budget is nothing. It has no meaning. No budgetary argument or relevance. It’s just a ‘pointy’ word sent in anger. And fear. Fear upon realization that there really is no way back in the Canada relationship. We are already committing to rearm using ReArm Europe procurement that will exclude American companies. That alone is a loss of over one trillion dollars in sales to American companies. And it hints strongly Canadas attitude and decision towards the United States proposal for golden dome.
