Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
this conversation was specifically about the US turning aggressive against Canada. the US turning on its allies and getting its global presence destroyed is one thing (I dont think that would happen, either). But to be clear, in this scenario we are talking about, If the US went aggressive against Canada, there is absolutely nothing NATO can do to help Canada except fingerwag, or nuke America.
And if Nuclear weapons were threatened, you could bet your ass the Mouth Foaming Z-Nazi party in Russia would rush to the aid of America, and declare that they were ready to invade and launch on the “Insane Europeans” to help the “Americans we have no problem with”
Russia wants to be hegemon of Eurasia, or at the very least Europe. If America wants to sacrifice it’s world influence and power to set up some kafkaesque one state entity across north America, Russia is more than happy to let them have it as long as they get their peice of the pie.
And I pointed out what Nato could do. If all the US troops are spread trying to protect US assets elsewhere, there is none left to do the actual invading. And of course that would also open up ways for nato to move things by boat to Canada. Russian would probably use the opportunity to take Alaska actually. China would take Taiwan. The west coast would probably take that opportunity to become it’s own country. The northeast as well.
It would be the end of the united states.
it appeares in my last comment I didnt actually mention one of the elephants in the room.
Im gonna stop you right there at “move things by boat to Canada”
the US Navy owns the Atlantic Ocean. bought, paid for and signed.
Nothing is getting across the ocean. Spare for possibly a British or French nuclear submarine that decided to unload on the eastern seaboard. and they’re not gonna pick a fight with the US that they’re already terribly outgunned in, whilst also trying to deal with the mouth foaming Vatniks who are more or less already at war with NATO
