The US is already trying to throw its economic weight around bullying Canada, and we’ve already settled in to an effective economic defensive posture. Those trade deals with China are actually part of it, previously we were supporting various American initiatives to tariff China but the Americans tore up a bunch of agreements with us so we responded in kind. It’s unfortunate but they started it and we’re prepared to hold our own.
The Americans are doing it all on their own. The russians are just trying to capitalize where they can.
Sad thing is that it is extremely unlikely that the US will be able to implement any kind of reforms around crime, corruption, judicial independence, restrictions on suffrage.
Luckily it seems to be making Europe and Canada stronger as well. Putin can weaken the US all he wants, but as long as Europe and Canada are not just standing around with their hands in their pockets, doing nothing, it wont benefit russia too much.
