    He is not trolling. He is genuinely threatening our sovereignty, and we are taking that seriously. The United States is an enemy nation.

      He got elected because people thought he was trolling, and thought it was funny. Now he’s actually doing those things, and worse. So why would anyone not take these threats seriously?

      Are you guys arming yourselves via a rearmament program like pre WW2? Because you should be if you take him seriously. The best don’t tread on me animal is a porcupine. Defensive

        The porcupine’s only weak spot is its face. Which is why the pine martin eats the porcupine’s face. Not sure how that affects this metaphor but it’s a cool nature fact.

        If the US invades, there’s no amount of rearming that would stop them from completely destroying us. Acquiring nukes would be our best bet.

          The US military has always proved to be very vulnerable to guerilla warfare, they’ve lost a few wars due to guerilla warfare. Canadians know their landscape and they know how to hunt and shoot, they’d put together an excellent guerilla force, and they could easily blend with American soldiers. They are also comfortable with the cold. A MAGA invasion of Canada in the Winter will be like the Nazis invading Russia. Also, all of Europe will suppport Canada.

          A good portion of the US military will refuse to follow orders to invade, and resign, defect, or go AWOL, and whoever is left will be nearly universally unmotivated to invade Canada. Many military leaders will work behind the scenes to sabotage the illegal invasion. Those disenchanted military personnel will find the competent, experienced military that HitlerPig fired, ready and waiting to build a strong, motivated military force to oppose MAGA on Canada’s behalf.

          In addition, 2/3+ of America will never support the invasion of Canada for ANY reason, and will align with Canada. HitlerPig will be forced to waste resources dealing with the uprising at home, distracting him from his foolish invasion.

          Any HitlerPig military operation will be defined by virtuosic incompetence, which is his most reliable characteristic. He will be fighting his own military and citizen population every step of the way.

            100% this. Which is why I kind of chuckle when I hear people worried about martial law.

            Even with every cop and military officer in the country you still could not hope to restrain a properly motivated American population. They have no hope of even restraining half of the population.

            People know their own turf and this country is far too big for that. Wanna do it to Canada? The country with some of the most consistently capable and highly regarded soldiers of the past 100+ years? Good luck. Lmao

          Yeah, it’d be a three day special military operation. Just like when Russia took Ukraine.

          Americans are extremely averse to casualties and pain. We could make an invasion hurt. I doubt they’d be able to endure a genuine war that genuinely enters their homeland. Not for long.
