I'm pretty sure that if he publicly says he's going to disobey orders, that's grounds for removal, even under a sane president. (Although a sane president might not choose to remove him)

Have they said no to any of the USA's other illegal invasions? Don't count on the bravery of Americans who tell you they would resist. Count on drones.

If the USA invades, the white house gets burned down again and Trump gets ICC arrested.

Said it before and will say it again. This is why I feel running to another country you have to think about. We have this insanely large military and a lot of damage can be done with it. We need to protest and refuse to work and whatever else we can do.

We need people at the top who will resist when the shit hits the fan. They should tread lightly to hang on to their position.

I condemn the ones who resign out of principle, they are the very people we need to stay in.

The reporter pointed out that Paparo did not answer the question. The U.S. admiral said he was dismissing the issue, adding: “Would you ask me please also what my attack plans are for the Martians?”

The reporter replied: “You belittle it and I don’t think that’s the right approach at all. This is a serious question about a serious issue.”

A Nanos poll taken in February found that three in five Canadians are concerned about the U.S. being a potential threat to Canadian sovereignty. A majority also support making it illegal for Canadians to serve in the U.S. military, according to a poll commissioned by The Maple in April.

Despite Trump’s threats, however, Canadian government ministers have continued to stress Canada’s continued cooperation with the Americans on military affairs.

That means he would.

What a stupid ragebait headline. Of course a geneneral is not going to even suggest they would disobey a hypothetical lawful order. Why would someone end their career for some journalists gocha question?

Says nothing about his private thoughts or what he would actually do. Zero information value.

You better disobey or we'll make sure that no one in the armed forces get any rights. We'd shoot you on sight along with anyone else that didn't refuse the shitter in cheif. Behave and use your neglected moral compass.

If the US tried it Canada would make Vietnam, Afghanistan, etc look like a casual sunday stroll in the park. If the US couldn't handle Guerrilla warfare against people who DON'T look like them, imagine how well they'll do against people that do. And the further north they got the more fucked they'd be. Ever been in a fight with a pissed off Indigenous individual? try it, see how far you get. Not only that you got all the dudes living in the bush with rifles and god knows what else.

Invade with what?

Didn't they waste all their armament on Iran? And I doubt U.S. soldiers would actually follow that kind of order without any objection. They're stupid, but not that stupid.

However. Maybe it's time I apply for that gun license...

So he may do it

I get everyone is making jokes here, but that is serious. Even if many of you genuinely believe Canada could contend with something like a US invasion, I don't think most of us could bear the cost of even a short conflict. How many of you are already having a hard time affording to live here or have dependents?

Now that they charge themselves 100% tariff on drones …

Jokes aside, I say we should get ready. Everybody can gain or polish some relevant skills that come in handy if it comes to it.

Best case you have a new hobby, worst case we make their life miserable if they decide to try and attack us.
