So you realise that if the US does go to war with Canada, that would mean that NATO would go to war with the United States, Which means that they'll probably lose all their bases in Europe.

    It's more likely mealy mouthed Europeans would declare the end of NATO, let Canada fend more or less for itself, and donate thoughts and prayers in abundance. Too bad Canada isn't part of the EU! With its defense article it will rise from B team to prime time.

    Yes, the US would lose a lot if its bases in Europe, though probably (and sadly) not all. But this sort of obvious strategic rake to step on hasn't halted the epic blunder in Iran. Why should it stop stable genius here?

    Nah, it's quite likely in the current climate that the EU would join in the defence of Canada.

    If the USA actually starts an intra-NATO war and doesn't just talk nonsense, everyone in the EU knows we are next. So better do a nice clean proxy war on another continent than to let it spill over to the EU once Canada is down.

    That's a misconception. NATO articles don't apply when a NATO member attacks a NATO member.

    If Europe does the right thing, they would support Canada, and if they're remotely intelligent they would kick the US bases out of Europe. But neither of those things would be because of NATO.
