If the US ever decided to invade Canada, based on today’s issues, I would go fight for Canada.

[–] RonnyZittledong@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

Absolutely. As an American if this disgrace of a president decides to take up arms against our long time allies it won't be him I will fight for.

Yeah, the amount of Americans sabotaging the war effort would be insane.

Trains and highways are required for moving armor and men that far north. The moment movement is noticed, those tracks and roads will become a lot less vehicle friendly. A lot of those northern states would not take too kindly to our neighbor being invaded. Idaho, Montana, and Alaska are the only areas where they would face less issues with movement through the state. Maybe North Dakota and Maine.

It's not a brilliant move for the US to do. It wouldn't work. Its too wide a border.

It’s the kind of move that could legitimately lead to states succeeding.
