Will Canada have to burn the White House down again?

If y'all buy the gold house, you have to take the fat orange stain with it.

No way. But we will buy him a one way ticket to Russia – you’re welcome. Cheers!

You couldn't beat a bunch of rice farmers in Viet Nam, nor a bunch of unwashed hooligans in Afghanistan. Canada won't attack, but they will ferociously defend and have a long history of punching well above their weight. So let's consider what would actually happen if the US were to try to annex Canada.

Firstly, they walk in almost unopposed. The Canadian military isn't stupid enough to commit suicide by offering more than token resistance to an overwhelming force. But that's not how it ends.

The bulk of the Canadian military fades into the forests, where weapons are cached, and the counter insurgency begins. Power lines come down in the least accessible locations. Oil pipelines blow up. The damage is covered by snipers who ensure that they are never repaired, so the north-east of the US goes dark.

Then, since Canadians look like you, talk like you and can walk among you invisibly, sh*t starts happening inside the US as well. Quite a lot of Americans would actually be on Canada's side, so there's a built in fifth column. Asymmetrical warfare, something America couldn't cope with in Asia and now it's happening inside your own borders.

Back up north, meanwhile, Canada gets an assist from the climate, just as Russia did against the Nazis in WW2 and against Napoleon before that. How are grunts from Florida, Texas and Arizona going to go in Calgary when it's 40 below zero?

Then there's the rest of the world. An invasion of Canada automatically invokes Article V, so NATO kicks the US out (the US military is technically under oath to fight against ITSELF in this circumstance), all US bases in Europe are seized and approximately 100,000 US personnel become POWs for the duration. The Commonwealth stands firmly behind Canada so you lose Australia as well. NORAD and Five Eyes cease to exist, so now China and Russia have the drop on you. Far from being "the leader of the free world", His Royal Orangeness finds himself in charge of a rogue State with NO allies. Like an overgrown North Korea.

Once America gets tired of this, decides that trying to bully Canada was a bad idea and slinks home with its tail between its legs, it's still not over. How could anyone possibly trust the US again? Nobody will buy from you or sell to you. And without Canadian potash (the US doesn't produce any worth a damn), you get crop failures and you all start getting a little hungry.

Canada will never be the 51st state, no matter how many toys the orange manbaby throws out of the cot. An invasion would be ruinously expensive and militarily disastrous and the US brass KNOWS this. It's not happening. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at March 19, 2025 4:29 PM MDT

I don't want Canada as part of the US.   

But they don't want to come to America and start crap. Cause there are enough of us to finish it and we will not have to listen to the military leaders telling soldiers they need permission to return fire. 

They will find out what Try that in small town really means.

Trump wants Canada as part of the US, it's his latest lame excuse for the tariffs. "They're supposed to be our 51st state." Don't try to deny that, it's on record.
Canada won't start anything, but you can bet your a$$ they'll retaliate.

Canadians resemble one of their native animals as far as attitude goes - the moose.
Moose generally like to mind their own business, eating moose food and making moose babies. But get in a moose's face and you become no more than a smear of blood on his antlers.
Don't mess with the Canadian moose.

No. Trump does not....it is negotiating leverage.   
Trudeau showed Trump their economic weakness by saying how much they depend on US trade. And Trump said if you depend that much on the US you should be paying taxes etc and just become the 51st state.  So every time Trump refers to them as the 51st state it is a way of calling them weak and unable to take care of their own economy.

We don't want them so it should be good.  But make no mistake they come in the US and the redneck hillbillies will put them out. And we shoot the officers first and will not be asking permission. This post was edited by my2cents at March 20, 2025 9:35 AM MDT
