Or if it builds capital and payments channels that allow us to use their financial system, in addition to Europe's, as a hedge when the Americans tank theirs again, bigger and better than 2008.

Trump, who is often occused of being an agent for Putin, has even frequently talked about invading Canada himself. The two probably would have split it between them if not for NATO, the same way the USSR and the Nazis carved up Poland in WWII.
