It’s blatant extortion now.

    It’s the talk of a hostile mobster nation. It resembles Putin’s hostility towards Russia’s neighbours.

      Yeah, this is the same sort of unhinged “they’re not a real country, they’re like little children that need to be taken care of” bullshit that Putin’s spewed about Ukraine over the years.

      The thing that really concerns me is that it’s not just Putin. The Russian population as a whole fell right in line with it. And so, too, I fear the American population might. They just don’t understand the utter visceral rage Canadians are feeling about this treatment right now. They’re treating this like yet another goofy dumb thing Trump is saying.
