    The US isn’t ready for a two front war where the whole world wants to get rid of them. They don’t have the cards.

      Please… I’m not a big fan of the US right now either. But that is just an absurd claim. No one is going to willingly open up a front against the US.

      Like it or not, but they absolutely have the cards.

        Canada would know that if the US attacks Mexico then it would be next, that would be the only time to fight.

        There isn’t a choice, this means Europe joins.

        Europe joining means China will join so that it can replace the US in Europe.

        Mexico at war is going to bring many countries below it in because they don’t want to be the next smaller country on the US doorstep.

          Canada isn’t a smuggle route worth billions.

          The only reason they could even potentially go into Mexico is due to the Cartels and their billion dollar drug trade. (I don’t have facts saying it’s a billion dollar drug trade. But I’m making an educated guess that’s it’s worth a shit ton of money)

          There is just no way in hell Canada would ever strike first on the US and be the aggressor. Even if Canada would strike at the US, why the hell would Europe side with Canada? They are now the aggressor. Attacking a fellow NATO member no less.

            The realism of my previous statement, no one would view it as a strike first, it’s retaliation for attacking Mexico.

            The alternative is to just get picked off one by one.

            After Canada comes Denmark so be realistic about it.

              Ehm… I disagree. Everyone would see it as a first strike. Because that’s what it is.

              Canada has no military alliance with Mexico as far as I know.

              I honestly can’t believe you put the words “be realistic about it” in the context of Canada striking the US.

              If Europe didn’t do more than sending weapons to Ukraine. Why would they do anything more to Canada? Which, would be logistically, an almost impossible task.

                Giving Russia control of the North Atlantic is a much bigger threat to Europe than giving them access to the Black Sea.

                  What are you even talking about? Russia already have access to the Black Sea. And have had since the birth of their country.

                  And what do you even mean “give them control” of the North Atlantic? When was the last time you looked at a map of the globe?

        US doctrine since WWII has been to have the muscle to fight on two major fronts and one brush fire. We’ve gone down to one major front.

          Let’s entertain your idea here for a second. How do you think that’s going to go?

          My guess, the at the first hint of any type of insurrection, best case. Latinos and Japanese-Americans are gonna have something in common. Worst case; full blown ethnic cleaning carried out by local militias.

          I’m not condoning either. That’s just what I personally think might happen.

          You mean the country they willingly fled, often due to cartel violence?
