Also, the Ukrainian constitution already forbade elections while under national emergency before the war started. Even if it was somehow possible to run a fair election while a huge chunk of the population cannot be reached with ballots, the government would have had to violate the constitution in order to hold it

I think it's in the Ukrainian constitution. It wasn't something they just did recently.

this man is not leaving office except in cuffs or a body bag.

Soon, please.

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.

If we invaded Canada I would defect immediately

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.

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.

It's not about achieving anything, it's about staying in power. Who cares if millions die if some pedophile gets what he wants?

Additionally, in a war with canada internal cooperation would be very weak. A lot of us are pissed at how he's treating y'all. The home front of a war with canada would likely resemble it during the Vietnam war. I can see him being dumb enough to push through a draft, and I suspect even he can't keep his grip on power during a draft against our favorite foreign country (sorry aussies and brits).

My actual suspicion is that he'd attack Mexico. There are a lot of white Mexicans who speak English, but nothing compared to Canadians. We've already got a lot of Americans who hate Mexico and think it's a crime ridden hellhole run by the cartels. We're really war weary from all the fights we spent the first 20 years of the century picking, so even that is a balancing act for him.

Also y'all're in nato while Mexico has chosen to hold no military alliances.

There are some pretty specific parts of the GENEVA conventions that are there because Canadians aren't fucking around when its go time.

We will not get billions like ukraine did to support us. The us would likely impose a blockade on us gor resistance groups to not be able to get weapons

Well waging war on another continent is quite different than being invaded

Fun fact: The US is always at war.

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.

Nah it's gonna be Venezuela. I think they have deployed warships and marines claiming there won't be boots on the ground
