Of course this is fine... Countries should protect their industries..just don't get on your moral high horse when America does it
To be clear, I am against Trump's approach, but all the pearl clutching is exhausting.
- expedition32 2mo agoTrump just went directly after Canada's sovereignty. Nobody else has done anything even remotely similar since I don't know China's occupation of Tibet. America has just unmasked itself and shown what they really think of Canadians.
- anon291 2mo agoTrump is nuts, but he is broadly correct that the world expects the benefits of American statehood without the responsibilities and reduction in autonomy. Yes, I realize this arrangement benefits the United States, but on the other hand, these other countries have gotten too used to it. People made fun of Vance and Trump for the Zelensky interaction, but I think a lot of Americans felt heard for the first time in a long time. Canada can do what it likes, but people shouldn't expect America to come to their rescue. Trump explicitly warned Germany about Russian oil, and the Germans quite literally laughed at the UN because of their hubris.
- rjrjrjrj 2mo ago> Canada can do what it likes, but people shouldn't expect America to come to their rescue. What specifically are you referring to here? NATO Article 5 has been invoked once, and that resulted in soldiers from Canada (and other allies) losing their lives responding to an attack on America. Not the other way round.
- anon291 2mo agoI'm responding to the general expectation that America will deploy resources . You cite article 5. America is expected to intervene whether article 5 is involved or not
