What we suspected he was going to try all along in taking over South America, and trying for Canada is the way I'm reading this. While taking an isolationist attitude about Europe. Probably got his nose out of joint when they didn't shove Ukraine towards his Putin giveaway treaty.

"It went on to make clear that this policy is a plan to help U.S. businesses take over Latin America and, perhaps, Canada." I very much doubt he will leave this to businesses. Could be why the military is deployed to Venezuela--as a stepping stone.

"Turning the U.S. military away from its European commitments," to me, greenlights Putin to do whatever he wants.

This is some scary and serious shit. Talk me down.
