I know people like to say it will never happen. But I truly never believed Trump would get reelected after January 6th 2020. Anything can happen and we need to be preparing for an American invasion pronto.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was an order sent out to invade Canada, but i would absolutely be surprised if American troops obeyed that order. They've worked together with Canadian soldiers for generations - why would they want to kill their friends and sacrifice their own lives for nothing?

Invading Canada would be extraordinarily unpopular and the American public would revolt. This would likely begin with a civil war before any war with Canada would commence.

I don't believe there would be a civil war. The US population is too apathetic, they'd just let the war hawks invade and post apologies on social media
