Canada

That’s exactly the kind of hedging their bets centrist bull

Clarification required. What bets are being hedged here, regarding "there isn't any point in bilateral talks, but let's say we'll do it if he shuts up about that thing that he can't stop talking about" ? I don't see a bet and I don't see a hedge.

We already know they are insincere and there won’t be negotiations because even an agreement would have no value.

Yup, covered in "there isn't any point in bilateral talks" above.

rather than putting red lines he’s obviously going to cross

Not seeing that any such "red lines" have been put in. The closest is the demand that you-know-who stop talking about you-know-what, but ... a red line is "don't do yak yak, if you do that you cross a red line and we will respond by blah blah" and in this case orange voldemort has already done yak yak and there's no blah blah response given.

that will just make Canada lose face for nothing.

You've got a point here. But the moment that 51st state started to get mentioned, the face was lost. So in this specific category, is there really anything left to lose?

Give the Orange douche a bloody nose right now

Agreed! I'd argue we're already starting to do that (e.g. Doug Ford's electric surcharge threat).
