Who is the ex and who is the best friend here? America has broken up with both Canada and EU?

>If your ex starts dating your best friend directly after breakup, would you consider it a hostile act?

"breakup" is doing a huge amount of counterfactual sanewashing here.

I might, but that wouldn't make me right or make my ex unjustified. It might just be another instance of me being an asshole.

Luckily states are not hormones-driven romcom protagonists.

You mean the same best friend that you unilaterally groped[1], shit-talked[2], undermined[3] and tried to drag into a brawl[4]?

Canada and the US were not in an exclusive relationship.
