The USA and Canada, together, are the heart of a massive power block. Riving the two is a huge policy win for Russia.

Do you mean to say that Camada is not a large economy?

Large, sure, but nowhere near the size of the US.

Big enough that a rift between the two is a big win for Russia. A chunk of both of our GDPs is a direct result of close cooperation and free trade. We are both poorer when Trump and Putin wreck our trade.

I would wager that the USA loses more if Canada goes away than it would be the other way around.
