      Cut off the oil supply. The US is a wasteful shithole that blows through 20 million barrels/day, but only produces 13. The majority of the rest comes from Canada.

          They could stop being yet another oppressive western nation and discontinue bending over for Trump/the US. This isn’t new behavior, Canada’s a removed.

                Major modern colonizer countries are the United States, China, Russia, and France. Criteria for being considered a colonizer have to be a little bit more strict then “I have wasted toons of money trying to control a country between 1936 and 1941 for prestige”.

                  The Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, Suriname etc. would probably disagree with you.

                  Not to mind the fact that much of the US and France colonialism and neocolonialism is fully backed by allies.

                    I have said “Major” meaning the form of colonialism that have the biggest economic impact. Belgium neocolonialism and Dutch neocolonialism are not nearly on the same scale as the others I have shared.

                    France colonialism is not fully backed by allies. Heck, Italy nearly went into a proxy war with France in Libya after they decided that Gaddafi was not good for “humanitarian reasons” and backed LNA against UN-supported GNA. If those are allies supporting each other then I need to rethink the meaning of the world. See Meloni blasting France on national television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NBf1C4YMNw
