Canada

Defence from who? The Russians? They're already inside the White House hahaha!

Oh I know that they have these very rational reasons and wasn't trying to rationalize it away. I just wanted to point out that cheeto isn't going to back down because he's also a crazed fucker who doesn't give a fuck

How much of that stuff would Canada and the US have done together anyway because we're conjoined twins?

Other than that weird businessman thing of "it's not ALL OURS" I don't see the point. We already do joint military operations with Canada defending the arctic, to include NORAD. If climate change makes the ice cap a more viable land or sea route to attack North America, I'd count on our two nations to work together to counter that. I have to imagine we have submarines in the Arctic anyway.

We've already got as much of the Great White North as we can handle in Alaska to drill/mine/log. I don't need ownership of Toronto to do that.

Now as for sea routes, this one I think is interesting. Because in addition to Canada and Greenland, the diaper in chief has mentioned re-acquiring the Panama Canal. The thing there is, the Panama Canal has had to operate at decreased capacity because Lake Gatun can't take it; the canal is draining too much water from the lake, which the entire nation of Panama needs to live. The "grow at all costs" business sector loves to ignore things like "the canal is going to physically stop working because the lake will be empty, and also it will render the entire nation of Panama unsurvivable due to lack of water" so I'm sure the billionaires pulling Trump's strings want the canal forced to run at max capacity no matter what, and we can't do that while the Canal is under Panamanian ownership because the nation of Panama isn't going to kill itself for some boats full of buttplugs and slogan T shirts.

So less shipping traffic has been able to pass through the canal. So more traffic bound from the Atlantic to the Pacific or vice versa needs to go around The Horn. Or for just one time, you can take the Northwest Passage, and find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea. A lot of the Northwest Passage lies in Greenland...ish? Greenlandese? Greenlandian? or Canadian territorial waters.

Or it's a way for a shithead to be a shithead. We are talking about the same guy who "made" Mexico pay for that wall.

Nope, Uno Reverse, we surrender and the US is the UC and your government has to fix all our problems. No takesy-backsies!

terrorism everywhere, everyday

That might very well happen yeah

They will not survive a war with Canada. We won't beat their military in direct combat but the insurgency right next door which can easily cross into their homeland, hit some of their most populous cities, and hide easily in Canadian wilderness, would end way faster than Afghanistan and Vietnam with the same outcome

Yes there'll be suffering on both sides, but it's suicide. I'd rather he accomplishes that another way but fuck it

There will be a civil war in the US if it happens because way more than half of americans don't want to invade canada

The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.

The entire world benefits from a strong America.

What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.

Best case scenario

How is American beer like sex on a beach?

Love your enthusiasm, but a US invasion would overrun and utterly destroy Canada. We'd fuck them for the next ten years and make them regret every life choice they made during that time until they see the wisdom of running, like they've done in every invasion since WWII but it will utterly destroy the country

I don't want that, I just want to live my nice little life.
