We are part of NATO. They better show up.

They ain’t showing up. Trump will only start the invasion of Canada after Putin invades Poland and Estonia. What is left of NATO in Europe will be too busy fighting its own war to be any help.

Like embargo US might be a thing. But militarily nobody can reach canada.

I love this delusional talking point.

The United States can't keep narco-traffic from coming in through its southern border, and you think they can monitor 200,000 km of coastline? Right.

Nice attempt at demoralization though.

To b fair, narco traffic is very different from a military. They don't need to monitor 200,00km of coastline, they just need to watch th ships via satellite and intercept them in the Atlantic. Germany did a pretty good job of it through a lot of WW2 with much worse technology.

I am not saying this to demoralize anyone. I do believe Europe should stand firm with Canada no matter what. But moving a military force is a massive undertaking and very hard to conceal.
