This is how pathetic pro-West Ukrainians are in 2024 (blinded by their hatred of Russia):
Imagine Canada funded, trained and armed by the Chinese, try to take Michigan's upper peninsula based on some shoddy claim on the Great Lakes' Straits of Mackinac. Now keep in mind, the Canadians KNOW the Chinese could give two fucks about them, but somehow convinced Chinese "gibs" will be the game changer in their quest for liberating upper Michigan (which they convinced themselves, always belonged to them).
Now never mind the ppl of Michigan and the ppl of Ontario are basically indistinguishable...the desire for Chinese gibs (analogous to EU membership, bla bla) is blinding the Canadians into a suicidal need to right wrongs via a losing war. When the Canadians are about to realize "Man, these Americans are like 10x our size, we can never win!"...the Chinese dangle a newer carrot, some new Chinese hypersonic missile, some new drone, etc. And the Canadians get blinded again.
The Canadians die, some county in Michigan is taken for a bit, all of Windsor is just a blacksite full of places Chinese do all sorts of experiments, etc. Canadian women get trafficked...Canada is depopulated, etc, all so the Chinese can curb American ambitions.
