Trump cannot have Canada (or any other country or territory). We do not want to be the 51st state. He and his MAGA henchmen will pay dearly if they try to invade us. We will make Vietnam look like a church picnic.
🇺🇸
Active military: 1.3m
Total reserves: 766k
Congress approval: No
🇨🇦
Active military: 65k
Total militia: 30k
People willing/able to fight: 20+ m
Countries willing to fight with Canada: 56+
Would 🇨🇦 lose:
Probably
Would it be unrealistically expensive ($ - lives, time) to take 🇨🇦:
Without a doubt
An actual battle would be out of the question. I’m thinking more about guerrilla warfare.
It’s a nice idea except that a very large amount of the gun owners are probably on the MAGA side
Not really
"Gun Culture" ownership in Canada isn't a thing - Never has been
Only a very small minority of Canadians own a gun for "home defense"
Castle Law doesn't exist here
Canadians hunt, and most of us are damn good shots...
It’s definitely not the same as down south and not even remotely close. I’m a gun guy too but I don’t think a lot of hard core gun people especially in Alberta would fight to keep us from becoming American. Sad but I think it’s true
I disagree with your premise
Polling shows that < 20% of Albertans are in favor of separation
I believe that most of that < 20% will change their mind if 🇺🇸 invades 🇨🇦
Nothing like an old fashioned "hostile takeover" to change ones mind...
It's one thing to be asked to join, another to be forced
I hope you’re right and I REALLY hope it never comes to that but at this point I wouldn’t rule anything out
