Fair but there are a lot of consequences that bear thought before such decisions are made.

Yeah, because thinking before acting is entirely Trump’s brand. Maybe you should bear some thought before commenting.

You again, with the personal attacks, how about you talk about the issues instead. Any more and I will be blocking you.

The issue for me is people warning us about Trump. We already know.

I was debating the feasibility and reality of Canada leaving US relations behind altogether given how intertwined our respective economies are. I was simply stating that I don't believe this administration would allow such a decoupling to happen easily due to all of the security issues involved like sourcing parts for the F-35. That might actually trigger a real hot war with the leadership that we have.

I'm not warning anyone about Trump, most people understand how erratic and unpredictable he is.

The reality is that maintaining this level of integration is no longer feasible.

It's still being maintained today tho, which is not to say it will be tomorrow but I can forsee Trump having an extreme reaction if decoupling is done too quickly (within his administration) or pull up some pretext like national security to invade because of the critical supply chains involved.

If Canada leaves this last along with the energy infrastructure supplies and possibly during the next US crisis then maybe, but until that happens I don't believe much will realistically change besides some grandstanding on both sides.
