Canada

I would join the canadian insurgents. Fuck this government

If conservatives ever get insane enough to actually try anything like that, understand that a fair amount of that hypothetical insurgency will be happening on the American side of the border as well. A lot of people who live near the border have a lot of Canadian ties. They would effectively consider any military action taken against Canada to be an attack on them.

The modern US hasn't fought a war with someone right next door, who looks and talks like them. Not only would it be hard to hold captured cities, but I think many Canadian fighters would walk across that massive unsecured border and start fucking up US resources like electrical stations, water supplies, subway systems, internet backbones, government buildings, . It is super easy to buy guns and ammo in the US, bombs are not hard to make. We would have a fair amount of local support as well.

We Canadians could just walk around the US in public and you've never know it.

It would cause a civil war within US itself.

All I know is, there are alot of natives kinda hoping they do invade. Imagine being legally allowed to shoot white people. 😂

I don't know why everyone assumes the use of military force to annex Canada would take the form of a massive conventional invasion. Hybrid warfare approaches like spreading misinformation, covert ops, stirring up local pro-American militias, etc. could do 95% of the work, without the sort of overt violence that generates insurgencies.

It's very possible to defend against hybrid threats, but only if we recognize the threat exists instead of assuming a US invasion would necessarily be a catastrophic strategic blunder.

Canadians will walk amongst their invaders. They wont be safe.

Come on USA : Invade Canada during winter and kneel under the barrage of exploding hockey pocks.

I can’t believe this is even being contemplated.

I would expect American insurgents supporting our former Canadian allies and friends.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to focus on school/studying when this is the kind of news that keeps popping up?

It'd be like a remake of Red Dawn but with the cast of Letterkenny.

Because going to war with people who like the cold is always a good idea.

Smh

It would another Vietnam or Afghanistan. They'd invade, kill a few thousand maybe million people, mire around, and then retreat again with their funds drained and thousands of crippled veterans with PTSD.

decades long is an understatement. unless they mean the US itself will collapse

Wouldn't it be better if Canada or Mexico Annexed us? It would send the right kind of signals to the world... "We are cool with everyone" "we want pace". Wouldn't that work? We would gain some more political parties to diversify our political system. I'm not saying let's do it. Its just a thought experiment. At the end of the day we're all Americans inside.

Canada is home to millions of conflict refugees (i.e. veterans) from SE Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. I don’t know what would happen, but I hope this would be a significant factor in any insurgency.

I commented before that I didn't think that Canadian and have it in them to fight an insurgency, but I have been impressed since then with the Canadian civil and political response since them (Carney more than Ford.) Now I realize that the US has never had to face an insurgency at there border, of ppl who they couldn't possible recognize. When you hear stories of Ukrainians who speak Russian being very successful as insurgents gives a lot of suggestion of how Canadians could make it really annoying for the U.S. government. Then think of how the border couldn't all be guarded.

Come fuck around with Canada, murica! We'll be waiting for you!

I'd join the insurgency from within. We have lots of overkill guns down here and very little supervision over who can buy them.

Elbows Up!

Do they mean an insurgence comprised of Canadians or US folk...? Both maybe.
