#5   The cartels will be a problem, so we will have to help them with that.

And they will pretend to be offended by our violations of their pretended sovereignty

#4  As for Mexico, they will roll over when Trump threatens their remittances. The cartels will be a problem, so we will have to help them with that.

#3  The Canadian response to all this is a bit puzzling. Trump told them to get control of their border and clean up the drug trafficking otherwise, it's tariffs.

Managing your border, controlling the drug trade - this is basic nation state stuff, but Canada acted like any 15 year old when told to clean up their room: "You're not the boss of me! I'll put tariffs on you! So, there!" Big-time diplomacy, eh?

/disclaimer: I'm so old I remember when Canada was a sensible country. The western provinces don't seem to be affected, so perhaps it is the Frenchness, it's driven them mad.
