Seems it was a waste of our time and money. If anything, Canada should be asking the USA to increase their own border security as guns and drugs come into Canada at a much larger scale. And why even have a fentanyl czar etc if none of our actions will stop the tariffs? This was never about the border or drugs but Trump said jump and Canada asked How high?

Totally. But I think a better way of thinking about it is that autocrats and oligarchs are collaborating to destroy global democracy and entrench their power as a global class. I don't think this generation of autocrat cares about nation or country the way they used to. Trump very much views Putin and the Russian oligarchs as the same kind of thing as himself and as having the same interests.

With the stuff he's been saying this week, he's definitely treating Putin as role model. Hell, he already mentioned trying to rewrite US laws to be able to get a third term.
