Maybe you should re-read that sentence

As a Canadian, I always liked our socialist heath-care system but after living through COVID my opinion has completely changed. I live in Toronto and we've been under a lockdown since March 2020! The lockdown was only slightly relaxed in the summer of 2020 for a couple months. Other than that, it's been a continuous lockdown. The health-care system has been lagging way behind the US and it's not close. I personally know people from Toronto who are in Florida right now waiting out the 3 weeks between their 1st and 2nd vaccine dose. Here only people 40+ are eligible for their 1st dose now and can't get their 2nd until August!

There won't be another "world war" if you think that means fighting with guns, tanks, and fighter jets. 21st century war is being fought under our noses as "unrestricted warfare" (https://www.c4i.org/unrestricted.pdf). Information warfare, legal warfare, economic warfare, etc. are how battles are fought. Why would a country want to shoot bullets at the US when they can control or dismantle it from within?
