The Americans are an adversarial us-vs-them society. There always has to be a loser in the American culture.

No, no talk until they understand "recognition and reconciliation policy. "

When Americans understand what ' recognition and reconciliation policy' is all about, they might also understand where they went wrong with Canadians.

You have almost an entire POPULATION that 'doesn't get it yet'.

Call us when you understand what 'recognition and reconciliation policy'. is all about.

It is their entire adversarial culture that needs to change. The Americans HAVE to have an enemy, even if they change a friend into an enemy.

An unambiguous apology and groveling would help.

The two sequels, four and five, developed the character a lot more. He also appeared in many other Asimov books.

Do your humans read sci-fi? I mean, GOOD sci-fi, not the American rah-rah-Stars-and-Stripes crap.

What is the question you are answering?

From that article,

"He [Carney] announced a $6-billion purchase of over-the-horizon radar systems from Australia in March as part of the government’s ongoing NORAD modernization project.'

A NORAD radar.

From Australia.

That just HAS to sent the Americans a message about Carney's thinking towards the Americans.

R. Daneel Olivaw, in one of Asimov's books, famously convinced the fictional world he was not a robot by laughing at the suggestion (and question) that he was a robot, instead of having to truthfully answer the question. Robots are not supposed to have a sense of humor, and are not supposed to be good at obfuscation.

Basically, Trump wants Canada to help pay for the defense of the United States.

Only works when a strong America is willing to defend the rest of the world.

Now. America is so weak, it needs the rest of the world to help defend America.

1. It can.
2. Yes.

The US administration strategy is knee-jerk upon knee-jerk upon knee-jerk. They have band-aids patched over leaky band-aids so deep, they forget what the original wound looked like.

Spin doctors are paid to make even the most dismal of outlooks look fantastic.

High interest rates only make the treasury more insolvent - they have to pay out the higher rates, through higher taxes, eventually.

Chatbots tend to have a one-track discourse. Talking points strung on other talking points.

Sometimes it is very difficult to tell the difference between human-generated and chatbot-generated responses.

Apparently, young-uns today do not know what the Schlieffen Plan was. When Germany attacked France, they went through relatively undefended and relatively weak Belgium to reach around the French flank. The Belgium-France border was undefended. Any country seriously thinking of invading the US would first attack either Canada or Mexico, then go through and attack the US through this relatively undefended border, instead of attacking the US directly. The ONLY reason another country would even think of attacking Canada would be to just pass through and attack the US.

If the Americans did not stop them in Canada, the entire US would be vulnerable. The US-Canada border is just too long to defend completely. That was the entire purpose of the Ogdensburg Agreement.

I am not sure what your question actually is.

Only because the Americans attacked us first.
