No stupid question… it seems Trump is ready to invade (military) Panama and Greenland (red white blueland), so even if with Canada he always talk about economic war and annexing Canada blablabla…
What would happen if USA invades Canada? What would be the reaction of the Canada King (Charles III is the king of Canada)? The Commonwealth? NATO?
You think a U.S. military base isn’t getting kicked the fuck out of a foreign country the moment they are declared an enemy? Or do you have such a little opinion of everyone else that you think a couple of military bases will immediately take over every European county at once?
If America invades Canada it’s global reach becomes null and void essentially the next day. Every Nato country expels American military personnel, by force if necessary, and America’s role in the world is done, regardless if they win against Canada or not.
No, or rather I don’t think many countries would immediately be willing declare them an enemy. Europe shies away from armed conflict and quick, decisive actions unfortunately aren’t our strong suit either. I’d fully expect a drawn out political shitshow before anything actually happens. As was/is the case for Ukraine.
Take over? No. But I do think they’d be a deterrence factor, especially considering they also carry nukes.
