The modern US hasn't fought a war with someone right next door, who looks and talks like them. Not only would it be hard to hold captured cities, but I think many Canadian fighters would walk across that massive unsecured border and start fucking up US resources like electrical stations, water supplies, subway systems, internet backbones, government buildings, . It is super easy to buy guns and ammo in the US, bombs are not hard to make. We would have a fair amount of local support as well.
We Canadians could just walk around the US in public and you've never know it.
Blue states won't stand for it either, the US will have to deal with the double threat of saboteurs and defectors
Blue states understand that you can’t just go and TAKE a country’s sovereignty, and that trying to do so sets a dangerous precedent.
Red states seem to forget that it goes both ways. Another country can try to TAKE the US (e.g., Russia, china).
Red states seem to forget that they would be furious if another country tried to invade the US. They fail to look in the mirror.
Honestly you would have to go county by county. As someone from MN, there are rural areas that vote red and would probably be for war with canada if it came down to it.
Then cities and people in blue counties would probably be the opposite.
While true, I think people would easily drive a few counties to sabotage an invasion force, which blurs the map. I would consider the state level about even
There would also be civilian targets. Those huge retirement towns filled with MAGA boomers in Florida - the ones where they drive golf carts around - those will burn to the ground.
Not to mention so very many of the Americans in the states that border Canada would probably be more than willing to aid the Canadian efforts.
It’s stupid because a lot of Americans have families in Canada and some Americans actually live in Canada and loads of American businesses have offices and branches in Canada so they’d literally be bombing themselves.
Sabotaging the Canadian power stations that send power to the Eastern Seaboard would be a start.
Canadians were known as the most ruthless wartime force. I will bring that back to protect my daughters right to her body. Our neighbour should never mistake kindness for weakness
