On military: the current Canadian government, Parliament, and Department of National Defence have no ability to determine their own operational objectives, nor do they have any ability to create military friction in any region outside the framework of the U.S. DoD. Their intelligence system is also completely transparent to the U.S. DoD.

Diplomatically, Canada is at a greater disadvantage than other countries. The foreign-policy cohesion of Commonwealth countries has historically been extremely important, further limiting Canada’s framework for military cooperation with the EU.

Also, Canada has complex separatist movements within the country, making it difficult to effectively restrict unilateral negotiations to the realm of state-to-state relations. Its provinces have a certain ability to bypass the federal government and engage in multilateral negotiations with the United States.

The core message of The Art of the Deal is how to maximize the extent to which you can squeeze your competitors. Trump’s repeated success in securing low-cost financing for the bankruptcy-plagued Trump Tower project is a case in point. Friendliest nation means that a walking bag of money has appeared. But if we analyze the concept of the “friendliest nation,” we may find that Canada’s sovereignty is rather questionable.

Canada’s ability to engage in colonial plunder of African mineral resources depends largely on U.S. imperialism. In essence, its so-called friendliness reflects its status as a dependent of the Anglo-American powers. His friendly posture is directed to the United States, but US no longer needs a dependent that profits at its expense. The outlook for companies like Barrick Mining is only likely to become more uncertain.

If you don’t even have an independent military and still have to follow British diplomatic policy lead, rely on NORAD, how can you possibly be in a state of 'at war'. The most you could do would be to launch a rebellion against its suzerain, the United States, and see how things unfold. We know Carney certainly wouldn’t do that.

Because the United States is the primary consumer market for video games, different segments of American consumers tend to hold fixed, standardized value systems. By repeatedly intensifying and polarizing these values, companies can effectively boost sales, whether the values in question are woke ideology or far-right, it's all same for the companies. From a non-American perspective, it all looks repetitive and formulaic, but to Americans, each iteration provides their respective groups with a sense of psychological gratification.

When you challenge, from a non-American perspective, ideas that Americans have been conditioned to accept over a long period of time, you are bound to face backlash. At that point, your business can only rely on non-American markets, and we ultimately find ourselves back at the issue of the U.S. dollar.

This is indeed an intertextual relationship. Just think: without the West colonization of India, Western colonialism could not have functioned at all. None of the industrial advantages the West enjoys today would be able to function in history.
