The thing is, Trump will fuck Canada regardless of how many atrocities Canada signs up to do together. Just look at the Europeans bending over backwards for him, and all they get in return is abuse. Abandoning all your values to suck up to fascists is not pragmatism, it's debasement.

I'm frankly amazed that you don't realize just how psychopathic the whole argument that since we can't stop the genocide we might as well take part in it is. If you're not gonna draw the line at that, then you're no better than the fascists you're taking photo ops with.

We should at least pretend to hold the US to the same standard as everyone else.

The fact that you don't understand that participating in a genocide is immoral shows that there really is no point continuing having a discussion.
