    I don’t think you can manufacture consent for a war against people so culturally similar to you they’re basically indistinguishable.

    That’s what everyone thought about a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine a long time ago. Turns out a dictator just does things.

      Problem is,the US can’t draw on its historical memory of killing nazis like the remnants of the greatest fascist killing machine,the Soviet Union,can

        The average American thinks that the USA defeated the Nazis

      I think the long history of animosity between Russia and Ukraine makes things a little different there.

          I mean, I don’t think you can deny post the collapse of the USSR, at lot of Ukrainians have embraced anti-Russian attitudes. Sure a lot of that is manufactured by the west, but it’s still there. And yes there is some anti-Ukrainian sentiment amongst Russians as well, even if you can argue some of that is justified by Ukrainian Nazi collaboration.

              Fair.

              Regardless I don’t think that dynamic exists between Canada and the US.
