> The boat attacks are small actions, unlikely to result in any consequences. Also I haven't followed it super-closely, but I believe the claim is those are cartel drug-smuggling boats

Lol, no. Oil tankers are not "cartel drug-smuggling boats". This U.S. administration lies like the Prince of Hell. Another oil tanker was captured by piracy a couple of days ago.

> No one liked Maduro, and he probably stole his last election (at least), so no one's really crying for him. Are you?

Americans don't get to decide that. And most especially not members of this corrupt administration who make Maduro look like an angel.

> So you concede my point? Even with Canada's military exactly as it is right now, there's no realistic military threat to it from Trump, because he's never going to commit to anything that costly.

He is crazy enough to sanction Canadian shipping. You don't need to attack land when you can attack shipping and tighten the screws.
