      We were never not considered hostile, we just had a ton of offsetting soft power. There’s just less of a reason to deal with us now that we cut soft power.

          Person in Canada here! This is true, mainly because of the whole “constantly threatening to invade us, shit-talking the Prime Minister non-stop, starting an idiotic trade war and trying to rename our lakes” thing.

          Well I hate to inform you but most of the planet isnt Canada and most countries dealt with us a bullies you could occasionally get to buy you a cheeseburger or throw down half on dinner.
