... and the American people are feckless sheep

PS: although I must recognize that, since the murder of Renee Good, it does seem that some are waking up

There are a lot of brain dead Albertans right now who are lining up to be completely obliterated by the US. They all think they're going to become wealthy Americans, but the US just wants their resources...not them.

They really need to do some homework on the CNMI, because that's their future as "Americans".

They think, because they're white, this won't happen...but it was never a race war, it's always been a class war.

And these people have no class.

Or they fail to imagine a situation that seems unrealistic.

Or they can't come to terms with it.

Or they are delusional.

We're waiting until the USA economy collapses under Trump's incompetence and the military refuses orders because they're not being paid. Then we leisurely walk in.

We would bring scary things like free wealthfare with us. And all americans were to accept it. Nonnegotiable. Almost a dictatorship like move.

Unfortunately the fix has to come from inside your own borders. You all have sacrificed way too much funding your military

Truth. We'd have a war on two fronts without ever leaving home.

And of course Russia has claimed half of it, because they have about half of the arctic coastline.

the opportunity for profit is too huge

Until their coastal refineries start flooding when Antarctica starts melting. Although even Greenland is already worth 7 meters of sea level rise.

But of course all of that is for future generations to worry about. As long as they can squeeze out a bit more profit before they die, it's all good.

This is the most literal "après moi le deluge" ever.

You're wrong saying that it's a non-story. If you'd asked the question ten years ago, it wouldn't be a third. The news is that this possibility has been born. That's big news.

Am American. We (the broad majority) don't want Canada. or Greenland. or Venezuela. Any of this fascist shit. I'm so fucking sick of this. I want to go back to politics being boring-ish and about deciding what taxes will and won't pay for and having actual friends whom we aren't actively bullying. I wish this scenario were laughable, but it's not.

Honestly just the nukes on loan would be enough. There's zero standoff and light defences accross the border. We could supply the uranium or plutonium to make replacements, even.

Failing that, I really hope Carney is eyeing a redundant treaty in case NATO dies.

Cute of you to think the US still respects any laws.

The USA is becoming an enemy of NATO and would sooner attack its traditional allies than defend them. And it's looking like the rest of NATO may just chicken out if the USA attacks a NATO member state. We really need a new defensive pact between Europe and other countries in the Americas, particularly Mexico and Canada, independent of the USA. But the USA is aggressive and militarily stronger, so it's a bad situation.

Yeah. Let's say this extremely unlikely thing does happen. There's some kind of false flag attack, like a person wearing a Canadian flag does a suicide bomber attack on the US congress or something. An event that riles up Americans enough that there's enough support for an invasion of Canada that Trump could get away with it.

Now imagine the result of invading a country where almost none of the locals want you there, and all of the locals can pass for Americans. European countries might be too cowardly to actually send their armies against the US for doing that. But, they would almost certainly find a way to fund and train Canadian freedom fighters. The Canadian / American border is completely indefensible. It's simply too big to ever be properly guarded.

So, you'd have Canadians slipping into the US easily, they'd be trained and armed by Europeans, Australians, Japanese, Koreans, and all the other former US allies. And, once in the states they'd have no problem finding support networks to help them attack American targets.

Just because Trump would be insane to try this doesn't mean he wouldn't do it. With their massive propaganda networks in place, they might get a fair number of Americans to support it, at least at first. But, the most they could ever hope for is a Pyrrhic victory.

At the northern border is a nation of people that look and sound just like them, it would be a nightmare of gorilla warfare
