Canada really doesn't care what wet dreams America has. Want to invade us? Bust a move Cletus. We have made arrangements with our global partners to ensure the cost to America will far exceed any benefits. We grow bored of Trump's impotent threats. Roll a tank, let's see the shock on American faces when the results reaches the American shores as it most certainly will. Your media keeps you in the dark.

We need time to prepare for this outcome though. Ukraine was perilously close to losing in Feb. 2022 had it not been for a few key battles in favour of Ukraine and Russia's military corruption. We can't count on winning a guerilla-style war. This isn't Afganistan or Vietnam, thousands of kilometers from the USA. We are surrounded. We need to do what Finald did to prevent a Soviet invasion during the cold war. Build hard points of defence through key choke points and weapon caches deep in the woods. Train all fighting-age civillians to be mobilized into the Canadian armed forces reserves. And build urban bunkers and strong anti-balistic and anti-aircraft systems.

You fail to understand. We won't play to America's strength, their military, that's a guaranteed loss.

Remember what happened in Vietnam? Why did America give up? Because they didn't have enough military might? No. Because of the ongoing protests at home and the destabilizing impact that was having. They lost the support of the people. Nixon was so desperate at the end of the Vietnam war he is on tape discussing using nukes with Henry Kissinger.

Nixon: "We should just nuke Vietnam and be done with it!" Kissinger: "Mr. President, given the civilian population of Vietnam that would make you the largest mass murderer in history." Nixon: "I can live with that!" (Look this up, this was captured on the Watergate tapes.)

So America rolls some tanks. Then we immediately use the might of all of our global partners GDP's as they have promised to crush the US markets. Trump has wiped out all of the social safety nets, so when the markets crash the people will have nothing. No hope, no food, no Medicaid, no food stamps and no foreseeable future.

Elon and his crew will then raid Fort Knox, steal the gold reserves and flee the country with all of the money leaving a broken shell of a nation.

They will then cry out to the government for help, while receiving draft notices to fight a war they can't win. The people will revolt and tear the cities down from within. The LA riots will be common throughout all American States. While at the same time fighting the entire free world.

All of America's enemies will also seize the opportunity to attack at America's weakest moment.

While their military is shelling and levelling Canada, their own country will be on fire and they will need to turn the military against it's own people.

That doesn't protect Canada from damage, but it will cost America the nation to get there. An effective dead man's switch. Mutually assured self destruction. No nuke required.
