... and the American people are feckless sheep

PS: although I must recognize that, since the murder of Renee Good, it does seem that some are waking up

Or they fail to imagine a situation that seems unrealistic.

Or they can't come to terms with it.

Or they are delusional.

We would bring scary things like free wealthfare with us. And all americans were to accept it. Nonnegotiable. Almost a dictatorship like move.

We're waiting until the USA economy collapses under Trump's incompetence and the military refuses orders because they're not being paid. Then we leisurely walk in.

Unfortunately the fix has to come from inside your own borders. You all have sacrificed way too much funding your military

The Dutch can take back NY anytime.

Truth. We'd have a war on two fronts without ever leaving home.

As a Canadian sure, but even together we'd be fucked. Europe is our main hope.

We are already seeing the Axis form, time to make the new Allies kids!

And of course Russia has claimed half of it, because they have about half of the arctic coastline.

the opportunity for profit is too huge

Until their coastal refineries start flooding when Antarctica starts melting. Although even Greenland is already worth 7 meters of sea level rise.

But of course all of that is for future generations to worry about. As long as they can squeeze out a bit more profit before they die, it's all good.

This is the most literal "après moi le deluge" ever.

... The arctic is huge, like continent-sized. If they take Greenland, they've taken Greenland.

This is also why nobody is doing shit about global warming, because the opportunity for profit is too huge.

That's also not quite so spooky. Ask the average Joe how much of his salary and lifestyle he's willing to give up to prevent it. The answer is almost nothing. We haven't, because we don't wanna.

To be honest folks. It isn’t important that I don’t feel better about things. The more urgent fact is that the aforementioned comment is, how do they say it in layman’s terms, very important.

He also wants Greenland so he can cut off Europe's access to Canada

Am American. We (the broad majority) don't want Canada. or Greenland. or Venezuela. Any of this fascist shit. I'm so fucking sick of this. I want to go back to politics being boring-ish and about deciding what taxes will and won't pay for and having actual friends whom we aren't actively bullying. I wish this scenario were laughable, but it's not.

Fellow Canadian. The US has been moderately successful at third generation warfare (so long as they are part of an international coalition, they don't do so hot on their own). They are less successful at fourth generation warfare.

To expand, the goal of third generation warfare is outright victory in a state on state conflict. Fourth generation warfare's goal is to make war very, VERY uncomfortable in an asymmetric conflict. There is no outright victory condition (aside from total annihilation). The USA can look forward to a very generous helping of the latter should they invade Canada.

The guerrilla war will go on for ever though, you can take Canada but you will have a very hard time keeping it.

Which is why i'd find it "hilarious" if he tries any boots-on-the-ground shit in Venezuela.
I almost hope he did just so murica would go though another Vietnam... even then they'd still believe they're the Land of the fee, Home of the grease.

The guerrilla war will go on for ever though

You think Canadians are going to shoot mounties and cops in meaningful numbers?

Honestly just the nukes on loan would be enough. There's zero standoff and light defences accross the border. We could supply the uranium or plutonium to make replacements, even.

Failing that, I really hope Carney is eyeing a redundant treaty in case NATO dies.

Just threaten to send Canadian nuclear reactors into meltdown Chernobyl style. Mutually assured destruction the messy way.

My dude-after the very first threats Trudeau (who was still PM then) went immediately and directly to France to borrow some subs no doubt. France is now sending troops to Greenland. Shit is serious.

With this fucker in power nukes wouldn't help. He'll just gaslight his cult into thinking his farts protect them from radiation and they start nuking other countries themselves
