I just had a good call with President Trump. Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan β reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl.Β Nearlyβ¦

Is anyone actually surprised by this?
Its the most obvious strategy ever but people keep getting mad and he keeps winning.
Orange Man: I'm going to kick $NAME in the knee.
Media: Trump states, without evidence, that he will kick $NAME in the knee which we believe will cause WW3.
Reddit: This is just like when Hitler killed 10 billion people. Someone assassinate him (not me though I'm a kitty)!
$NAME: I don't want a hurt knee.
Orange Man: Ok then do X,Y,Z.
$NAME: Ok

It's just r-slurred to threaten to kick your close friends in the knees. Even if they give you their fries or whatever you want right then, long-term they are not going to want to be friends with you anymore.
Like, do you think Panama feels more, or less, positively about the United States these days? Do you think they are more, or less, likely to cozy up to China as soon as they can get away with it?

Prediction: there will be a Chinese military base in the western hemisphere by 2050.

That would be a consequence of the US electing more weak leaders, not because of a pimp slap to Panama. Democrats wouldn't do shit to stop the Chinese.

There's nearly a 100% chance that whatever China had going on inside Panama will continue apace except now the US won't have any local goodwill to counterbalance it.

Sure, let's look at Canada's nearby alternate trade partners, we've got ocean around us on 3 sides and oh look, there's still America as our only land-locked neighbour. Guess we're stuck with continuing trade with America because the logistics of shipping the majority of our exports to nations overseas is functionally impossible to completely replace our land-based trading.
Maybe if we don't want America to frick with us so easily, we should instead work towards actually building up our own economy instead of pursuing r-slurred and vacuous bullshit that leaves us weak and vulnerable to exploitation. Its not as though we're a massive, resource rich nation with the land and capital to reinvest in self-sufficient industry.

Canada could trade with China like everyone else.
Like you're not wrong that Canada is kinda fricked for the short term, but in 20-50 years, who knows? Is it really that insane to think the US-Canada relationship might end up more like the Russia-Ukraine relationship (pre-2014)? A fearful enemy hunkered down next to a rapacious fading global power?

You're also missing the subtly where when $NAME says "Ok" they actually don't do anything except take some token, meaningless action that doesn't fool anyone except for Trump's
