What an inane comment. The article is about Trump not Trudeau.
Canada has 68,000  personnel in its military. It is ranked 74th in the world.
The U.S. has 1.46 million active personnel. It has 6,970 nuclear weapons. It has 19 aircraft carriers, 21 Stealth bombers etc etc 
If Trump was in charge of Canada the author wouldn't have to do a "crisis analysis," would he? Because Canada is a threat to no one.
But Drumpf has his little hands always within reach of the nuclear trigger. And the author offers some interesting insights about possible outcomes. However, once again, an anti-Trudeau fanatic doesn't want to listen to those insights, but would rather drag into the conversation his unrelated doctrinaire inanities about Canada's finances. 
You and people like you are ruining this  comment section.
