      As a Canadian, be careful what you wish for. Russia thought they could take over Ukraine in a 3 day special miliitary operation and 3 years later their military and economy is in ruins. Then look back at how Russia’s invasion of Finland went. Simo Hayha sends his regards.

      It doesn’t matter how “elite” your military equipment is or how many billion dollars it is worth, a war is fought by boots on the ground and the geography favours the defender. If you thought fighting arab insurgency in the desert or asian insurgency in the jungle was difficult, consider how difficult it’s going to be fighting against an insurgency that fluently speaks your language and looks indistinguishable to you in the great white north. Trump should stick to golf.

      As a Canadian, you know that 40 years of government policy has effectively ended patriotism in most of the country, only the Quebeckers would put up any fight to speak of, not because they’re “Canadian” though. Maybe Ontario somewhat. The rest of Canada had been pushed around by Ottawa for their benefit like subject states to an empire, most people would be more likely to buy a invading force member a beer than shoot at them. Think I’m lying, you really need to talk to more people in the wild.

        I remember reading a few articles detailing how a military incursion into Canada would likely go.

        tl;dr is that Canada’s military would likely surrender immediately and then go underground to assist in resistance efforts. The Canada/US border is one of the longest unprotected land borders in the world and many cities along the border are right beside each other. The US would take immediate soft control but would be fighting fierce resistance coast-to-coast for decades that would frequently spill across the border and result in attacks on their own cities and facilities. Not to mention an assault on Canada is very unpopular with US citizens and troops and all of the states that border Canada will refuse to turn into battlegrounds. A lot of US citizens have family and friends in Canada and the militaries of the 2 countries have close bonds from working together for generations. If any countries came to Canada’s aid with their own military force then it would get even uglier.

        The immense economic strain of holding Canada against the resistance coupled with the internal unrest and inevitable worldwide sanctions placed on the US would cause complete economic collapse and eventual civil conflict. The USA, as the singular entity we know of today, would be destroyed.

          First we blow up the bridges.

          There’s a large concentration of US military bases in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

          There’s no access via land to the 75% of the Canadian population that live in Ontario and Quebec.

          Then we mine the St. Laurence, and narrow waterways near Sault St. Marie and the northern coast of lake superior, the Detroit river and its connection to lake erie.

          Then we round up all the separatists and McMAGA’s.

          Then we give everyone guns.

          Then we take Alaska.

              100% this man is not leaving office except in cuffs or a body bag. That is my prediction. The sooner the rest of my countrymen start taking this bit seriously the better. Keep sending those cheeseburgers to the white house folks.

              If we’re lucky.

              The reality is that killing him doesn’t matter right now. He’d be martyred, and the next in the line of succession would continue with this madness.

              The majority of people in this country need to take a stand together or else nothing really changes and most people that are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to depose the tyrant are aware of that.

                More importantly, the US had an election during the Civil War.

                It’s a little different when you’re being invaded by someone with 3.5 times your population and a significant investment specifically into election interference though. Especially when your constitution specifically allows it.

                  Right now, it’s 50/50 between Canada and Mexico.

                  Trumpie has already floated his casus belli out to the public.

                  For Canada, it would be about how Canadians want to be Americans and Canadians want to be the 51st state. For Mexico, it would be about going after the cartels that have been designated as terrorist organizations. Invading Mexico to protect Americans.

                  Or maybe Trumpie will invade both countries.

                    Difference between then and now is the ability to shove a missile up someone’s ass from a 1000km away.

                    Much easier to vote when you don’t have to worry about the voting locations being directly targeted by long range weapons.

                            I like you. You can come to Canada and visit. I’ll allow it.

                            You have to leave the rest of your countrymen at home tho.
