Canada

At this point even the pro-Canada American takes are pissing me off honestly

Edit:

Canada is a much more left-wing country than the United States, and absorbing it could well revive the political fortunes of progressives

I’m also getting really fucking sick of this talking point. We’re not going to vote in American elections because we’re not going to be American and I don’t even want to hear any thought exercises on the subject

Free Healthcare is woke to an American.

As if being "woke" is a bad thing anyway.

Better than sleepwalking into fascism.

True but a lot has changed in that time and all out warfare would not be good for us.

At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing a reenactment.

This is what is so terrifying and makes this very real. They don’t care about logic, at least not what we think as logic.

However, I would argue that it is fairly logical overall for the United States to do this. I had a feeling it would happen eventually due to two main factors:

• Climate change. They may deny it, but it’s a tactic to prevent the public from realizing this: the USA, along with many other countries, will not be able to run efficiently or even at all very soon because of the impacts from climate change. It is too costly to manage and management will not prevent the worst of it anyways. They will not have enough resources to sustain their population. Canada is incredibly resource dense and perhaps one of the better countries to live during the climate changes predicted. Although, on this note, New Zealand is probably poised better. I wonder if they aren’t targeting it because they have all their bunkers there already anyways, or if it’s on their list for the future. There’s also all of the new resources and trade route through the Arctic. I could go on but this point deserves a post of its own to lay out the full details.
• A last “hurrah”, because they know the climate is changing at a rapid pace and there won’t be other chances to live out their dictator dreams. They want to be kings of the world, and this is likely humanity’s last chance to hold such a title. This is why they aren’t playing around with trying to make fair trade deals instead of just taking over. It’s not as fun. And trade deals are likely not as secure for them too, since, as we have seen, trade deals ultimately don’t mean shit.

When viewed through this lens, their potential plans don’t really sound so crazy.

Remember kids, it's not a war crime the first time. Gonna have to go back to being creative.

We're on the fucking brink of a civil war

That's the key point: they want to provide a common enemy so it's America vs "whoever" instead of the class war that should be happening.

why the fuck would anybody want to invade Canada

They have a huge amount of accessible oil, and the north sea trade routes are going to become incredibly important in the coming years as the ice melts further.

True - that's what our CAF should be planning for. Take the Swiss model and encourage serving members to take their equipment home, including secure communications devices. Then plan for insurgency tactics, training and organizing volunteers and conducting raids and attacks deep into our "glorious, the 'greatest'" new homeland...

I don't think you realize... the American deep south and southwest are rapidly becoming uninhabitable.

Canada is primed to be a destination once torontos climate becomes more like missouris.

I wish I was kidding.

If the climate keeps getting warmer then huge parts of Canada will become temperate and farm-able, while places that are currently temperate will become too hot to live in or farm.

Im west coast. We had 2 days of snow this year about 4 inch deep. Ive lived east coast and its the same as maryland weather. Its no more cold than what you guys get.

Bite?

We need to line up our meece at the border. They throw and trample.

A Møøse once bit my sister...

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

I'm picturing Age of Empires 2025, and the Canadian special unit is a giant moose.

No, no, far more useful to exercise our right to arm bears. Would you charge at a grizzly with a machine gun?
