Either way I don't think they'll ever be a war between Canada and the United States.
No. Nor will it become the 51st state.
The Taliban have their own country to do with what they will.Neither did.

Earth to @upsideguy , You are in the conspiracy theory forum. Your lack of self awareness is stunningIt is a pity that DP changed the rules allowing people to post this smut in the BN thread as if it was serious material.
After the self own you just displayed I would be embarrassed to have made the above comment.Have more respect for this forum by actually reading and commenting on real news, and it will have more respect for you.....
The Taliban have their own country to do with what they will.
As have the Vietnamese.
The USA fought to prevent those things, and lost.
Those people have been hiding beside a road waiting for their enemy to come along for thousands of years. Alexander the Great, Persians, Mongols, Arabs, Brits, Russians, Americans, they all went there and lost.The USA didn't lose. The Taliban hid. Are we supposed to be there for 50 years?
Yeah yeah blah blah. How many years were the US military, bombers and aircraft carriers and draftees and convicts and carpet-bombing Cambodia and Laos and all, how many years were they prevented by politicians?The US Military did not lose... US politicians prohibited them from winning.

How much money do you think Canada would have if it didn't trade with the United States
Either way, I like Canada and Canadians so I don't really want to fight with them.We would be similar to Australia, fewer poisonous snakes and more Polar bears
Yeah. The Americans would lose. To win we would need the Canadians to believe they were better off as a protectorate. A Territory of the United States. They won’t believe that anytime soon.
The Canadians know that the only reason they are wanted is their Natural Resources. So they’ll certainly damage or destroy that infrastructure. Bridges and tunnels destroyed. Oil pumping stations destroyed. That sort of thing.
It would take years to repair and replace all that and the Americans would be stuck paying for it. Figure a trillion dollars just to get started.
Then expect sabotage of the items being repaired. And you are back to fix it again. You could deploy troops to defend it, but we only have what? Ten active duty divisions? They wouldn’t be accustomed to the winters, so things start getting even worse.
Ten years and America would be looking for the exit. If that long. I’m not sure who will be President then, Don Junior or Ivanka, but expect it will be a disaster for us.

The US military can't do war any better than the Russian military.
Scenario: War between Canada and United States. Both combatants are committed to total war. Both sides will sooner die to the last man than surrender. We'll assume for the sake of argument that no 3rd party nations aid either side.
Who wins?
Russia, China, North Korea, Iran. Also, those that protest against the dangers of nuclear power generation and how much land can be poisoned by them.
Why is it so hard to get straight answers? Why are some people so dead-set against admitting the obvious, namely that the US is vastly more militarily capable than Canada?
Either way I don't think they'll ever be a war between Canada and the United States.
OK... excellent point. I stand corrected. I did not realize I wandered into this place. Kudos to you for posting this nonsense where it belongs. In fact, any ZeroHedge story should be posted here. Carry on!Earth to @upsideguy , You are in the conspiracy theory forum. Your lack of self awareness is stunning
After the self own you just displayed I would be embarrassed to have made the above comment.
I don't want to either. I like Canada and I like Canadians. And there is no reason for us to be going at one another.Me nether.
I'm not sure the trade war is about trade.Not a real war. This trade war can go away any time though, it's dumb af, no matter which metric you look at.
If China wanted to invade the US would leap too their defense and they would be grateful.

I'm not sure the trade war is about trade.
What i find fascinating about this is that Trump is forcing their hand to define exactly the point you raise. Until Congress and/or SCOTUS intervenes he seems intent on continuing to test where the boundaries are for the division of power between the branches.What gets me is some people think that just any random judge is the supreme dictator of the United States. I don't understand that the executive has powers the judicial branch has powers and the legislative branch have powers.
That was a very straight answer to the question you asked.
All those US troops coming back in body bags from Afghanistan shows otherwise.The USA didn't lose. The Taliban hid. Are we supposed to be there for 50 years?
The US Military did not lose... US politicians prohibited them from winning.
