Indeed, without the United States we wouldn't have anyone to invade Iraq because of "biblical prophecy"!

As a Canadian, you are very much right.
While I do personally want a weaker USA, as it would mean that we won't be as horribly Finlandized as we currently are, I recognize that a weakening of the US, either by splitting up, or by a civil war, or by other factors would almost definitely fuck us over just because we are so interlinked.

More reason for the US to split up.

If the USA split up right now, we'd be megafucked, because according to this list, the United States is by far our largest trading partner. If we measure trade with the next largest, the EU, is 5.3 times smaller than that of the United States, and if we exclude the EU, then trade with China is 7.9 times smaller than that of the trade between Canada and the USA.
While sure, a weaker USA would definitely force Canada to find other trade partners, it would fuck us over in the short-term. It'd be much more preferable for Canada to start increasing trade with the EU and China now so when the USA inevitably shits the bed, and either falls into civil war, or splits up, or whatever, Canada won't be as fucked as it'd otherwise be.
And that's not getting into the ramifications for the ordinary people in the States over such a scenario.
