In the abstract, do you think any nation could occupy Canada?Which is why I said, "in the abstract."

I first thought early embibbling but I now think there's something else at work.Can you type that in English? Punctuation would also help.
I can't think of a single nation on earth who could defeat the United States.

That's my point.If they were determined? Maybe. That's a separate question for me. Canada is geographically vast, but its population is small.
It is silly. Especially considering that it wouldn't be the US military versus the Canadian military. Anyone who invaded Canada would basically be declaring war on Europe and some of the rest of the world, too.Please understand: I think this exercise is silly. I wouldn't have said anything at all if someone hadn't made the ludicrous claim that the United States would lose quickly and decisively in a hypothetical war with Canada.

Canadians have fought and died on battlefields around the world for causes that were never ours, just because we know what 'ally' means, and we have respect and regard around the world because of that loyalty.
Most of the world, anyway.
I think the author has been smoking the good stuff but who knows?
It makes for good reading on how things could go downhill.
I'm not familiar with Carney but if he's like what is said here, things could go sideways in Canada
Well this is even dumber than usual.Realistically if war was declared on Canada, a left wing activist judge would declare the act unconstitutional and demand that we surrender to them.
It would take the US far longer than thirty minutes to lose, but it would still lose....in spectacular fashion.
Well this is even dumber than usual.
Wanna betand since Canada is devoid of firearms
Realistically the US doesn't declare war. Until war is declared on them. Hell, Germany sank an American destroyer sending scores of American sailors to Davey Jones' locker but the US didn't declare until after Hitler declared.Realistically if war was declared on Canada, a left wing activist judge would declare the act unconstitutional and demand that we surrender to them.
Thousands of moose hunters hear talk of an American invasion and say, "Great idea! Thanks!"Wanna bet![]()
LOL....Mark Carney, the respected and renowned economist, is characterized by goofball zerohedge as a "globalist ghoul"?I think the author has been smoking the good stuff but who knows?

=======================================
"For those that think a conflict with Canada sounds ridiculous, I would remind them that times are changing rapidly. What you might think of as the status quo for geopolitics today is over. As globalism breaks apart we are entering the wild west, so saddle up and sack up. There’s no room for normalcy bias anymore.
I predict that within the next two years there will be serious talk of portions of Canada (like Alberta) seceding over to the US as Carney crushes citizens with carbon taxation, increased censorship, continued mass immigration and gun bans. The new Primer Minister will make every effort to make Canada as draconian as Europe.
More progressive parts of Canada will pursue EU membership. And, the idea of war will not sound so crazy anymore. In fact, I suspect it will be a common debate around the average American and Canadian dinner table.
Again, with a globalist ghoul like Mark Carney in control of Canada the chances for heightened tensions are immense and unfortunately a large enough percentage of Canadians are gullible enough to follow his lead thinking they can win. Make no mistake, a war with the globalists is brewing and Canada is currently leaning globalist. This might very well mean a conflagration between Americans and Canadians in the near future."

The “most militarily powerful country to ever exist” has repeatedly lost wars against far weaker opponents.If they were determined? Maybe. That's a separate question for me. Canada is geographically vast, but its population is small.
Please understand: I think this exercise is silly. I wouldn't have said anything at all if someone hadn't made the ludicrous claim that the United States, by far the most militarily powerful nation to ever exist on this planet, would lose quickly and decisively in a hypothetical war with Canada.
The military has never done so before, and there’s no real reason to believe they’d do anything but salute and follow orders.I would think that if the WH actually tried something this insane, the JCS would throw a serious wrench into the gearbox and the protest inside the US would be tremendous.
But I could be wrong, I had hopes our nation could see through the sea of bullshit and not allow tRump into office a second time. I was wrong there.
CLAX1911 said:I brought up Canada invading the US? Show me where.
What a strange thing to say.
Here's a more accurate one- the only reason the US exists is because of France.
Yeah, we tremble at the thought.
Not to you, I guess.
Plenty of everything but very few people. Being Canadian in Canada is the best thing the world has to offer.
Their proximity to us keeps them safe. We have a vested interest in Canada remaining in control of itself.CLAX1911 said:

I, too, don't get @CLAX1911's idea that "the only reason Canada exists is because the United States".
Didn't disagree with that.And you're correct, @Grand Mal, that "the only reason the US exists is because of France".

During WWI, the sinking of the Lusitania killed more than 100 Americans. But the US didn't enter the war against Germany.Realistically the US doesn't declare war. Until war is declared on them. Hell, Germany sank an American destroyer sending scores of American sailors to Davey Jones' locker but the US didn't declare until after Hitler declared.
Apparently not.Their proximity to us keeps them safe.
If China wanted to invade the US would leap too their defense and they would be grateful.Apparently not.
