On the world stage, that means shit. Because all leaders know Trump is a joke. A clown. An idiot, they all laugh at behind his back.

Maybe someone should remind him the USA exists because of France. Without France the war of independence could not have been won.
The US can (and does) get by without French help these days. More recently, there'd be no France at all without US intervention in WW2.

Today, Canada would fall into an economic tailspin without its economic relationship with the US and would shortly become a geopolitical thrall to Russia or China (FAR worse geopolitical partners than the US!).

You are probably right, becauses we've become lazy over the past 40 years or so by focusing the majority of our trade on the US. I mean, it made sense. They were a massive market and a stones throw away. We had integrated transportation systems and a common language. But, the reality is that the US economy would also suffer without Canada's contributions. While we would likely suffer more, imagine we stopped shipping stuff to the US. Potash, energy, natural resources, aluminum. They would be pretty fucked. Not as much as us, but they would certainly feel the pain.

But, that being said, as we build trade relations with other countries or the EU, we can develop a more dynamic economy. Trade will never be zero with the US, but it will decrease.

They do? I guess we can ignore his Greenland talks then. :rolleyes:

Mark can continue selling you the pipedream of being a super middle-power.
Yes, we can. He walked back his bullshit about a military invasion (someone must've told him what the consequences would be for taking Greenland by force). He will now negotiate. Which will take years, and he'll be out of office or dead by then.

As for being a super middle-power....that's sort of what we are. Canada is trusted by a huge number of countries. We have things other countries want. I am curious as to why it feels like you are actively rooting against Canada?

Which is why Carney said it isn’t sustainable to live in a system where integration itself becomes a source of subordination.
To get out of this position, we need to diversify.
It’s not as if the U.S. wouldn’t suffer serious economic consequences if trade with Canada were cut off.
But of course the diapered retard and his maple MAGA quislings don't understand this.

That remains to be seen, If Canada can provide the EU with low cost energy to replace Russia, perhaps Canada will do ok. But if the USA persists in its trade war, they will find export markets will start to close to them, and without export markets the demand for the dollar will fall, and it will have to massively cut its spending. It Its already falling behind in innovation due to its sanctions.

You also have to remember how much debt the us has. If the European countries decide to sell off US treasuries their economy will completely collapse.

Nonsense, Russia would have defeated Germany on its own eventually.

I am past worrying about the absolute scum of the earth POTUS thinks with his demented brain. After one of the biggest celebrations the world has ever seen - if he dies while in office - the USA will have a massive job repairing the massive damage he has done to the US reputation world wide .

If there was only one front worth worrying about the Germans would have been in Moscow before winter, and without Hiroshima the Germans would have held it to today.

Sure, but the senile pedo also thinks the Spanish Flu ended WWI.
Tomorrow he'll be talking about sinks and water flow.

Just ignore the senile fuckwad.

You can't deny, but Trump swatted him like a fly.

Mark made this long speech, basically indirectly going at Trump. Trump in two sentences is like you live off of us, be thankful.

And that was it.
