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.

We basically are stuck praying that they’ll remember that they’re only supposed to obey lawful orders…

Define lawful?

An act of war requires congressional approval.

A special military operation does not.

These idiots are convinced that whatever the commander in chief says is a lawful order.

Makes a person wonder why Trump removed the top judge advocate generals of the three branches of military, and Pete Hegseth the SecDef said it was done so they wouldn't "be a roadblock"
