If you think it was a pointless exercise, their message didn't sink in: the public is tired of the government's bullshit.
Battles =/= wars. Like Vietnam, the US won all the battles, and lost the war when they decided to quit. We didn't lose of the field of battle. Canada is no more capable of beating the US on the field of battle than Iraq was.
The US has no need to challenge China on their own turf, so why would they build up that? China has no capability to challenge the US anywhere else.
The public is always tired of government bullshit. But they were more tired of criminal bullshit.
Wars =/= battles. You can win every battle and still lose the war. When you cut and run, you lost. Just the way it is. Doesn't matter if every battle was a flawless victory if the enemy is still standing when you leave.
I've never pretended and never would pretend that Canada could conquer the US. But the US cannot conquer Canada either.
If the US has no need to challenge China then why is it challenging China? Every single ship sent through the Chinese controlled waters is a challenge. It's only a matter of time before China sinks such a vessel. And then what? Nothing, because China is beyond the US's control. They don't need to conquer the US militarily, they'll conquer it economically.
