@Remittancegirl I’d also highlight the experience of the UK (which I was reading earlier today) in WW2, which could perhaps be summed up as “in war, there are no allies, only self-interested countries”. PM Churchill begged and pleaded with President Roosevelt for destroyers to attack the Nazi U-boats who were sinking the merchant fleet and starving the UK. Churchill sent an insane number of letters to Roosevelt that all went unanswered. In the end the Americans grudgingly sent the UK a small number of rusted obsolete destroyers that did nothing to help turn the tide. Lesson: do not find yourself in a position where you must depend on allies. Canada would be wise to take note.
