Grab your ankles, Canucks! The Canschluss IS coming!

Canada did a simulation of what an attack would be like from the US. Anywhere from 2 -7 days you would control most critical infrastructures. We would fight back like the mujahideen did in Afghanistan. We would sabotage, disrupt and ambush because a direct conflict would obviously not go well for us.
We would eventually wear you down and we would get fighters from all NATO countries helping the effort.
Couple thoughts here:
  • It's wildly optimistic to assume powers outside of North America could get troops past the US Navy and keep them in supply.

  • Conversely, it's pessimistic to assume you'd fold in a week given what we've seen in Ukraine. The balance of battlefield power has shifted towards the defense in a way we haven't seen since the Great War.

  • The US Military isn't oriented for an attack to the North. It'd be impossible to lay the logistical groundwork for such a thing and keep it secret.

  • The US Military doesn't have the manpower to occupy Canada without a draft, which was politically impossible after 9/11, so how do you sell it to the American populace here?

  • Great Britain has nuclear weapons. It's hard to imagine she'd let a member of the Commonwealth go under without at least considering using them.

  • Canada has the scientific and industrial wherewithal to go nuclear if she chooses. This will be the depressing legacy of America First. Widespread nuclear proliferation. 😢
Finally, a fun bit of history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_Scheme_No._1

It seems to me something similar to that would be a better play than going mujahideen on Day One. Preemptive strike to raise the cost of the misadventure for Team America and hopefully buy time for cooler heads to prevail.

P.S., This is an academic discussion. I hope you realize that our blowhard President doesn't actually speak for a majority of us and there's no constituency here in favor of going to war with you. 😢
 
Of course this is a joke thread. There is not really any such place as Canada. Occasionally one hears rumors of an English-speaking -- or, by some accounts, French-speaking -- country to the north of the U.S. The people put maple syrup on baked beans and gravy on cheese curds. Their national sport is ICE HOCKEY, of all things! And their police wear some kind of over-the-top gay bondage gear.

Needless to say, all this is pure UL. You'd have better luck finding the Seven Cities of Cibola!
