In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.

    There are simply too many reasons to say no. How the US treats people entering and leaving the country. How due process is ignored for people within the country.

    In broad terms the US is an unkind society. This is not to say that there are not kind individuals, but they are unable to influence the overall norm that is so clearly on display.

    You don’t get to cause so many damages to a partner and then suggest we give you another chance. That ship has sailed and I am ready for us to find other trading partners and address our own internal trade barriers.

      The Americans are an adversarial us-vs-them society. There always has to be a loser in the American culture.
