How does getting American allies to beef up their military play into Russia or China's hands?

I am claiming that you are making a huge deal about world leaders joking about Trump, when it's a complete nothing burger that shouldn't be taken seriously. Yet more evidence of you grasping at straws to attack Trump by getting all hyper serious about it and massively inflating it's importance.

I already went first, you are still lagging far behind.

Just build a navy that can't even compete with Japan and the "America Is Falling" rubes will think "America is doomed naow"! ZeroHedge is a helluva drug.

China's navy is not bigger than the US navy, nor is it anywhere near as powerful. Building shitty ships doesn't turn you into naval power to rival America, that's not how it works. China's navy is nothing to write home about, reports of America's demise have been greatly exaggerated, you need to stop listening to the "America Is Falling" crowd, they don't have the slightest clue what they are talking about.

China increasing it's power and influence does not mean that America is about to be overtaken. That does not follow, non-sequitur. Lack of freedom of speech and rule of law is not a strength, those are weakness that hold them back. You see American strengths as weakness, and Chinese weaknesses as strengths. No wonder your analysis is so off the mark.

You take jokes way too seriously, get a sense of humor.

America's soft power has been increasing under Trump, and Trump isn't on the side of America's enemies. China is nowhere near matching America in hard power or soft power, so quit your concern trolling "the sky is falling because of Trump" routine.

America has more friendly ways too. America's soft power dwarves Chinese soft power, and they also have more hard power to go with it, it's not either or, you can do both and America does both far better than China.

Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business. Preferably, Cold War.

The thing I love most from your little Maclean's article, is when they mention that US is 43rd in press freedom, yet when they go on to elaborate why they are deficient in that measurement, it's because they don't restrict speech enough. Literal Orwellian "Restricting Free Speech is Press Freedom" shit. Go home to Carbon Barbie, Scott Gilmore, you're drunk.

Worst measures of freedom yet. You really can keep this nonsense coming all day.

Muh Cato Institute!

Muh Fraser Institute! Lulz

Carbon Barbie, hehe.

That sad part is that even Climate Barbie's husband is drink that kool-aid. Don't tell Scotty, Scotty doesn't know.

Free speech and property rights are also unique to America. On all the measures that count, America is the freest nation on earth, it's not even a competition.

Canadian freedom haters who think freedom from freedom is real freedom, think America has fallen behind. That is a good thing, Maclean's wouldn't know what freedom is if it slapped them in the face.

Shatter. Pull your head out of the sand and take a look at the Canada that surrounds you. Hatred of American freedom unites Canadians more than anything else, knee jerk Anti-American sentiment is Canada Incarnate.

Keeping out American freedom is the primary reason for Canada's existence, if you don't think most Canadians are on board with that, you aren't paying attention.

The survey did not address the issue. Most Canadians approve of "liberating Canada from the Anglo-American Imperialists. Bringing Harmony to Canada. Peace, order and good governance, for your own good.". Most Canadians elect political parties that approve of that as well.

Yet far more than half buy their freedom hating propaganda and the political parties Canadians elect pander to China ad nauseam.

Yeah, Canadians aren't buying the Chinese freedom hating propaganda at all.

It relates, because China hates freedom too, and Canada is selling out to them. The Chicoms pander to Canadians hatred of freedom to persuade them to sell out even more and they buy it, hook, line and sinker.

Peters got fired because Calgary was underperforming. If the twitter mob hadn't come along, he would still have been fired. The most the twitter mob did was speed up the process. The woke twitter mob are simply targeting those who are likely to be fired, so they can claim credit for them being fired, even when they had little to do with it.
