Canada is much closer to being the EU's 28th county rather than the US's 51st state.

Case in point, Portugal just did the same thing: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/portugal-wary-trumps-nato-policy-pick-fighter-jets-2025-03-14/

I still don't think the average american realizes how bad they pissed off the whole world, and how it will now take decades to recover, if ever.
