Aren't the US and Canada huge trading partners as well? If your biggest importer/exporter is under attack, its going to affect your economy.
The two countries are two closely linked and have too many border issues for the US to be able to look the other way if Canada were attacked.
Would the US rather Canada had a much more substantial military to defend the north? Of course. But its a huge threat to America if anybody attacks/invades Canada.

Like I said. I would love to help put a boot in the Russian ass but we have two wars that we are fighting now.
I just don't see our government doing anything until we are directly attacked.
I also find it funny with us being the butt end of a lot of Canadian jokes but when the crap hits the fan we are on speed dial to help everyone out.
