The biggest weakness of the US is that Americans hate one another. At the current time another civil war in the US isn't in my best interests. But future events might change that.

Also, I don't want to fight Americans in the streets of Toronto. I would be willing to fight Americans in the streets of American cities tho. The American concept of war is something that happens "over there". How would Americans handle it if war wasn't just some drone video of a boat in the Caribbean getting hit by a missile?

Hopefully it won't come to that. But people obsess over troop counts a little too much and don't think at all about the weakness inherent in American culture. That weakness obviously led to Trump and the general decline of the US. That decline can be either mitigated or exploited. We'll just have to see how it goes.
