Let’s not joke hear CA doesn’t stand a chance. They’ve no nukes. They lack economic power. And they don’t have a cultural identity beyond “hey we aren’t America”. The last thing Canada wants is to fight a global super power.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland speak German, and are still different countries.
US, UK, Canada, NZ and Australia speak English, and are different countries
France and Belgium speak French, are different countries.
The entire Arabic speaking world is spread across like 20 countries.
Russia and Ukraine both speak Russian*, and one tried to merge with the other, violently, and are now bitter enemies probably forever…
Is “Fuck off and leave people alone” an option in peoples brains?
Sure, maybe they’d win the invasion easily, but can they win an occupation of a hostile populace for an indeterminate duration? The 21st Century repeatedly suggests the answer to that is “no, eh”.
occupation of people who are virtually indistinguishable at a glance. Just ask the Russians how that worked out in Eastern Ukraine, the only way they could ever secure the place was by killing pretty much everyone.
The last thing the US wants is to be a pariah to the UK, Australia, NZ and South Africa. Them old commonwealth loyalties run deep. Not to mention France would take extreme exception to Quebec.
Even if we didnt intervene militarily we all love Canada, It would be economic suicide.
“Hey we aren’t X” has earned the presidency of the United States every 4 years for at least as long as I’ve been alive. Never doubt the power of “hey we aren’t X”.

Congress needs to ask the pentagon why they maintain a wide threatening lead I’m Zamboni technology!

…last i heard, canadian snipers outperform the finns…
That is literally the most terrifying thing you could’ve said.
…canadians may be low-key, but they don’t f*ck around…

South Africa is already against America, they’re in bed with China and Russia, they’re the S of “BRICS”
You’re gonna nuke an upwind state that you’d like to conquer? It’d be a drone fight like Ukraine.
California’s economy ranks fifth internationally, behind the US, China, Germany, and Japan. On a per capita basis, California’s GDP is greater than that of all of these countries.
Dude, that’s bogus. This is literally the same bullshit Putin says about Ukraine.
They aren’t talking about California
Oh. Good point. 🤦♂️
Well in that case everything but economic power still stands.
“Hey we aren’t X” has earned the presidency of the United States every 4 years for at least as long as I’ve been alive. Never doubt the power of “hey we aren’t X”.
In fact, that should be Metas new slogan.
Bluesky: Hey we aren’t X
I here you but what if they challenge us to a hockey game? I don’t think we’re prepared for how ugly this can get.
Canada sucked major ass at the world juniors this year. USA has won back to back.
Sir I assure you this community tolerates only the most serious conversations.
