Not gunna lie, I’m feeling a bit better about any potential invasions of sovereign nations
"Signal group chat leaked that a bombing run of Vancouver is planned. Chat was leaked by Hesgeths mom, who didn't know why she was added and just wanted to ask questions about when would be a good time to buy eggs.
In response, Hesgeth blamed the media for reporting on things and stuff."
Me too, until i realize there might still be an attempt, and it will be extremely stupid in planning.
Blitzkrieg but instead the plans are so stupid you can’t prepare for them…
I mean, that's kinda what blitzkrieg was. Just give your mechanized units a bunch of meth and tell them to just push as far as they can as fast as they can with no coordination. Worked to take France.
"What do you mean this isn't Greenland, Captain?! If it isn't Greenland, then where are we? I mean, look at how green everything here is, it must be Greenland, right? Falkland Islands? What's that??"

The excuse will be that there was one trans person in the invasion force.
As Canadians, absolutely.
Plus their behavior in regards to snubbing states during environmental disasters and gutting emergency response/aid relief would do wonders for any displaced angry guerilla Canadians in this hypothetical.*
I’m not. These guys clearly made terrible choices.
