    I wish Americans would do more. I don’t support any kind of harm but there has to be SOMETHING the people can do to get that orange asshole and first lady musk out.

      Some Scottish guy was trying to give me advice to blow up highways to block off access to Canada. Reddit nuked the comment. One of the reasons I’m here.

        As someone who lives in Canada, I’m hoping we’ll be hard to invade the same way Russia is hard to invade. As in, all these US troops who train in Texas and Florida probably won’t be conditioned to handle doing stuff when it’s -40C outside, so we can all just head north and hope they get stuck and give up lol.

        Also, and Americans don’t seem to like it when I say this so apologies in advance, but the US is historically not great at winning wars IMO. They’re great at starting them, but it almost always seems to end up in a quagmire that just drags on for ages and then gets abandoned. So that’s pretty much how I imagine this would go too.

          America can only really win wars with the consent of the public. An America-Canada war would have very little support from the beginning.

              Malcom Nance seems to think that it would lead to a second American Civil War. Regardless, such a war would have a high cost with zero benefit for the average American. Even most conservatives don’t want to deal with such a war.

                Nobody wants a war. They are compelled. Either by their masters, or because they’re backed into a corner.

                  If there is lack of support from the side of the aggressor, then it’s difficult to sustain the war. It ended Vietnam, and Iraq.

                  Every war has its enablers.
