Trump doubles down on annexation threat, says Canada would be ‘cherished state’
-
The US has been a rogue state for decades. Just that they used to be smart enough to keep some countries in the empire aligned without direct military force.
-
Post Sept 11, (lots of) flights were grounded for several days.
-
Holding a country that doesn’t want to be held is very different than winning it, as the US and other countries have repeatedly learned.
And the unpopularity at home would make Vietnam look like nothing.
No, it would be a disaster for the US. A very different one than Ukraine, but maybe even worse.
-
With life time of insurgency.
-
Russia wants it. They want our mineral rights in our North. They can get that for pennies if we lose our sovereignty.

-
They're not even hiding the racism any more.

-
We also have about 20% of the world's fresh water, the oilsands and a shit ton of critical minerals.

Agree with you but I'll also throw out- protests do fuck all here. Those in power ignore and then we move on with life. It's just the truth.
Until you threaten their money or lives it won't do shit and plenty of people are happy enough to hold signs and pat themselves on the back saying they made a difference.

Yes they are, I've seen them on the egg shelves.

He doesn’t treat his own states any good why would Canada fare any better
-
The problem with “thanks” ones is if they ever do go down…
Best to have “they’re up because of me” perhaps or something similar

There’s this thing called NATO
-
Until the NATO countries have removed the US soldiers from their soil, most of the populated area of Canada would have been occupied already. There is around 100.000 US soldiers stationed in Bases in Europe. They need to be captured and disarmed first, before any forces can be send to defend Canada. That will take weeks at least. The US has the largest navy by far. Breaking the US naval blockade will take months if not years.
An US invasion of Canada will mean months of war in Europe, before any chance of European troops getting to Canada.
Unless the EU prepares quickly to kick out all American soldiers as well as build up a stockpile of anti-ship weapon, building jets and ships ourselves will take years, there is no way EU countries can come to the aid of Canada in time.
-
the US would steamroll Canada at first.
that was the default convention in all the wars the USA has fought and lost in thevlast 40 years
-
Which is very different to Russias invasion of Ukraine in 2022, where after first quick gains that got repelled, things bogged down in a slow war of attrition.

Hmm probably hamilton. A lot of steel mills. If they come up through st Catherines, and hang a Reich to Toronto they would have to go through hamilton first.
