      Touche but US capabilities are now that of a global empire, all of Canada is within few hundred mile from US border and its core literally cuts into the US while power disparity is wider than Ukraine/Russia.

        Nobody who knows much seriously thinks we’d win a conventional war. We could slap together nukes pretty quickly, but we’d probably rather just get annexed. Our defences are all diplomatic.

      That took place entirely in the Great Lakes area. The other bit was still very, very Native.

      Also, we like to take credit for that, but that was basically the British Empire fighting for one of it’s colonies, and IIRC most of the British soldiers involved were not from here.

      No, we’re going back to the North Atlantic triangle days if the US goes funny like it appears to be going.
