This is great that we’re showing support, but we have a massive orange Nazi south of us looking to invade because we’re a threat to him, or Outin wants him to invade, or whatever reason of the day suits him.
I certainly hope all these countries help us out the same way we’ve always helped others.
A few thousand soldiers isn't going to be spit in the wind against the US military. Might as well get some good training for them with Ukrainian drone operators against a larger foe.
A rough estimate puts national gun ownership at around 26%. Ownership is inconsistent, with higher per capita in towns with less than 1 million people. A 1997 estimate puts collective ownership at that time around 7 million firearms, with 1.2 million being of the restricted category.
If less than 50% of gun owners decide to join an insurgency, and say 10-20% of non-owner run support.... it's gonna be a bad fucking time for the US. They also historically have a hard time dealing with insurgents, asymmetric warfare has always been very hard for them to deal with.
The trouble with insurgents is that they're the town doctor, the kid who pumps your gas, and the soccer mom you see every day on your way to put boots to necks.
We are of one mind on this. The USA got their balls chopped off in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, slinking off in ignominy after Raytheon made their billions. We'd kick them out of Canada, too.
It would suck, and we'd probably end up being run by dictators for a generation or two, but that's a problem we could face.
Absolutely. Let's hope it doesn't come to worst case scenario. Hopefully they'll tear themselves apart, we end up with a few new provinces/territories, the Nazis get to dance the dangling jig, and we all get pissed on a Canada day BBQ.
It's pretty sad when the preferred scenario for Canada is a civil war in America. But if there's anyone who can beat the Americans, it's other Americans.
