Summary
Mark Carney, frontrunner for Canadian Liberal Party leadership and potential prime minister, stated Canada will stand up to a bully after Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports.
Carney vowed to retaliate by matching the US tariffs dollar for dollar, asserting Canada would not cave in despite mounting pressure.
He criticized Trump for undermining trade agreements, warning that the tariffs would damage the US global reputation and economic stability.
Outgoing Prime Minister Trudeau promised a forceful, immediate response, emphasizing unity as Canada defends its economic interests, ensuring national prosperity.
You don’t quite get it, in those ME countries US can kill a lot of people outright and then deal with the fallout of hate towards them, and due to the value of life there perceived differently, there will be both hate and resistance.
I suggest you look at typical casualty numbers of guerilla wars, it’s one against dozens. That’s when one side is “white civilized people” and the other “some brownies”, so the former side has advantage and no reservations.
In Canada, due to value of life being perceived differently, the resistance won’t be as significant if they don’t commit massive war crimes, and if they do, they’ll likely succeed.
This would of course be a reputational suicide for the US, and also lead to a lot of internal confusion, and probably even yes, “be the end of the US”. But not immediately.
About honor and betraying allies - for the love of God, where have you seen honor in that kind of things?
