A new poll suggests almost a third of Canadians say the United States might attempt "direct action" to take control of Canada, with a fifth of Americans agreeing.
Look at Ukraine, the reason they were able to stay in the fight in the early days didn’t come down to military or numerical superiority or even strategic brilliance. They were not expected to be able to put up a meaningful fight and, therefore, not put up a fight…
The warnings by the CIA and Kireyev helped the Ukrainian military to prepare for an attack on Antonov Airport.[16][19][21] Conversely, the Ukrainians did not expect a large-scale airborne assault on Antonov Airport, instead assuming that the Russians would send a small group of special forces with helicopters in the case of an invasion.[22] As a result, the airport only held a small garrison of 200–300 National Guard troops belonging to the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade, as the remainder had been moved to the frontline in eastern Ukraine.[1][23] These troops were mostly conscripts, though there were a “handful” of professional contract soldiers; aside from a few BTRs, at least one ZU-23-2 gun, and a few 9K38 Igla man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), the garrison was lightly equipped.[24]
The lesson is that, not only the military needs to be prepared, but you, the inhabitants of Canada, need to be prepared.
I don’t have serious discussions with anyone who sincerely believes in American exceptionalism, just like I don’t have serious discussions with fascists. I am particularly disinclined to have any discussions with an American fascist who clearly has no respect for my country or the former alliance we had with the US. My country has literally bled for you ungrateful pricks, among many other contributions over decades, and I can’t think of a single thing you’ve done but bully us.
Discussing with your camp is never in good faith. You don’t believe in words, and there is no evidence or argument that is acceptable. It’s a waste of time to bother. Thankfully I believe you’re not representative of good Americans, who seem to have had enough of this bullshit.
By the way you should know your insults mean nothing to me. I’ve been called worse things by better people than you (I’m sure that’s a low bar to clear), and I’ve seen who you look up to. Get back on your knees for your orange daddy, maybe this time he’ll finish in your mouth.
Bring it on then champ. Nothing will hasten the downfall of American shitpumps like yourself more than going to war with half the world. And if you do, you might as well just hand the keys over to China. I mean you’ve pretty much guaranteed they ascend to world superpower already by shooting yourselves collectively in the dicks, but frankly it would be nice to see it happen in my lifetime.
Hope you live in a northeast state, I look forward to when we cut all your power and you have the distinct pleasure of freezing to death in the dark.
Good For Canada. It’s a move in the correct direction for their country. In the meantime, they’re still outnumbered 30:1 in the USA of armed civilians vs. canadian military
I wouldn’t bother, there is nothing to suggest this person is interested in seriously engaging on this topic. For example they seem to think the number of civilian owned firearms is a determining factor, when it hasn’t even helped the US to avoid fascism in their own country.
I hope our military is prepared to do something about it

Deploy the mounties! Elbows up! Horses too!
Mounties, cops will all be deputized to the US side. There is no way they do the right thing when the time comes.
Canadian military is a fraction of the size of the US military.
If invaded, prospects are bleak for Canada. The US has a better chance of invading Canada than they do invading Detroit.
Canadian citizens should arm up but I don’t think their laws allow for it.
I don’t think you’ve thought very deeply or very seriously about this.
I haven’t. There’s absolutely no need to “think deeply” about the strongest military in the world going up vs a nation that’s not in the conversation.
Russia was the second strongest military in the world when they invaded Ukraine, weren’t they?
No, it was and still is China.
You’re a moron.
And you’re in 4th grade? Who the fuck immediately resorts to name calling instead of attempting to actually make a point. Loser.

It’s not American exceptionalism. It’s math.

We are strengthening ties with European defense

US has lost to Canada each time they have incurred on our borders.

True.
