Canada

We've seen it happen 1000s of times in history. Soldiers do as their told. If Trump says invade, it will happen. They are purging any internal resistance as we speak do in a few months, if he says invade we will get invaded.

I have always been a peaceful and patient person, but there is no way I'm letting a fascist foreign government take over. I would gladly even suicide bomb a foreign invader if it thrwarted their advance and protected my adult kids , and fellow country members, future.

It's even worse. The US hasn't won against an insurgency ever in its entire history. And really, it hasn't won a single conventional war since WWII either to be honest.

While one side would be forced to fight for its right to exist, the other would be forced to weigh the costs of doing an occupation for decades. Not to mention the hit to moral and public support, which in turn translates to support from your own military.

Frankly speaking, I think the US's own military would refuse to move if ordered, and Trump'll have to replace most of the leadership to make them comply. And even then, there's the thought that most of the soldiers themselves wouldn't want to raise arms against their longest standing ally.

Many of Canada's firearms are outdated in a military sense and the government has been continuing to ban more guns. Many fire arms currently owned by canadians would have already been considered obsolete by the cold war, especially if we are comparing our stockpile to America's.

The piece you're missing is that all those wars after WW2 they weren't fighting to save the world. They were fighting to line the pockets of the military industrial complex (and big oil) that sprouted up around post WW2 America. The goal wasn't to "win" it was to funnel as much money into the pockets of several already rich and powerful cunts as possible.

If there was actually a threat to American citizens and we wanted to delete that threat entirely we would have absolutely no issues completely leveling pretty much any foreign nation with or without nukes.

Canada's actually military would be a speed bump for ours. Nothing.

But dealing with the global backlash and potential escalation to nuclear war would be an unmitigated disaster for not only the US but the whole world.

We may not know exactly what would happen in the fallout after the hypothetical invasion but I think we can all agree it would be very bad for pretty much everyone on the planet.

I'm a USian and was home schooled by conservative Christian parents, so please forgive my ignorance.

If Canada was attacked, would the Crown be obligated to help defend you? Or are commonwealths on your own?

Nah

Canada has to kill only a few thousand soldiers and the US population will be ready to revolt

That was Trump v. The American legal system.

If it comes to a head on confrontation; it'd be Trump v. Canada in gorilla warfare. We'll bring our own justice, and probably add a few more pages to the Geneva Conventions while we're at it. We're good at that.

Canada is five large cities, which are easy to capture, and an entire USSR-size back-country of rough terrain, which would be nearly impossible to patrol and hold in the face of even a mildly resentful populace. You don't have to have the entire population actively fighting - passive resistance would make it difficult to do anything in the face of shrugs and "I dunno"s.

Resistance fighting can be picked up pretty fast, and in the face of brutal American reprisals and repression, I think it would be. Their history in Afghanistan and Vietnam shows that they'd create an entire generation of people out for revenge VERY quickly.

We would hide our insurgents, and they would fade into the mountains and forests. You don't need a lot of active insurgents to cause a huge problem.

We have cheap drones and abundant weapons. We're one of the more gun-infested countries per capita, and have a porous border with the USA.

It'd be a hell on Earth. They'd never hold the Rockies.

Resource extraction operations. Forestry and mining are easy to disrupt, especially if the local labour doesn't like the occupiers. There are a thousand ways to gum up the works, and a thousand more to attack them and fade away into the surrounding forest.

Yeah, you'd think it's easy for the US.

Just as people thought Iraq would be easy

And Afghanistan

And Vietnam

And yeah, the initial invasion is easy, it waltzes over anything as a hot knife slices through butter.

Then, however,.comes occupation. What is it worth invading and blockading if you can't own it? And this is where the US always has failed and will continue to fail in the future too. You can bet your furry Canadian butt that Canadians will resist and hard.

Same goes for Mexico btw. If the US decides to invade there as hinted as multiple time, expect US soldiers to be hanging from bridges with their private parts stuffed down their throats, they have quite a bit of experience with how to handle that.
