Definitely the wrong response is to triple down on Ukraine, including throwing out the idea of sending soldiers.
Normalize relations with reset of world. US only protects Canada from Russia because Canada lets the US tell us who our enemies are. If Russia is not our chosen/fabricated enemy, then NORAD is Canada protecting the US.
The lies that Canada support for US consumers/industry is a cost to the US, or that it is responsible for fentanyl, should result in more public anger about liars, and breaking off relations with liars, instead of correcting facts as if that will make a difference.
Export tariffs on energy to make Canadian energy after tariffs the same price as WTI, or US electricity alternatives is crucial, even if auto tariffs are not reciprocated. FFS, make sure Canada's next harvest is sold to China or elsewhere undercutting US agriculture. The most disgusting reaction in all of this is no talks with China on anything.
Ukraine is probably our strongest possible ally if they can survive this war. All we need to do (Canada and the Europeans) is give them ammo to beat back Putin, his country is about to implode. Russia is desperate for the war to end as soon as possible. We should support them like our lives depended on it, because they will come to our aid.
Seems absurd to call Ukraine strong and willing to come to our aid. Russian friendship or peace/neutrality is more practical than a destroyed country whose history includes democratic influence over Canada with supporting this adventure of hate that just failed.
They are in a bad spot right now because the United States stabbed them in the back after being overthrown by Russia. But they have the largest army in Europe. And the most experienced army. They have valuable knowledge about fighting modern conventional wars that no one else in the world has. Russian friendship will NEVER happen. I will die first. FUCK RUSSIAN TERRORISTS.
