This isn't a trade dispute. Trump wants to actually annex Canada (lemmy.ca)

Canada cannot win a trade war with the US. When we are on our knees he's going to ask for Yukon, nwt and nunavut. Saying basically nobody lives there and we don't need it. He can easily buy out northern Canadians by offering lots of money or citizenship and the other 39 million Canadians will reluctantly agree it's the best compromise.

He knows climate change is real and it makes the north more and more viable every day due to its resources and shipping route.

Another obvious hint at this was traitor Danielle Smith suggesting US military bases in the north just last week.

I prefer nuclear war between Russia and US, to Canadian guerilla war no matter how confident you are of Canadians.

Trump/US complaining about "having to defend Canada" is purely and only because Canada lets US explain who our enemies are. Only actual enemy of Canada is the US as this weekend showed them to be.

By not treating US's enemies as Canada's enemies, then Canada, through NORAD, is the one defending the US. Demanding the US to pay significantly for the privilege of Canada defending them is necessary from an enemy. Nuclear weapons are a cheap and effective way of saying "STFU asshole", and a path to ending wars quickly. US economy/debt level is incapable of absorbing a single nuclear strike. Fucking around is an insufficient response to their fucking around.
