      A conventional war between Canada and the US will be over in days, if not hours. I’m not sure America could win an unconventional (guerilla) war with Canada.

          Wars can be fought on multiple fronts in different ways. We are currently in a trade war with America, started by them, as well as having them threaten and dismiss our sovereignty. This is not the act of an ally. Much like how relations with Germany are currently good, we can considering repairing the relationship with America when theis war and these acts of aggression are over.

          I literally have family across America from north to south and east to west. That is no reason to put up with the hostility their nation is showing ours.

              What’s the point of negotiating with Trump? We had a trade deal negotiated with him that went into effect 5 years ago. Now he’s doing all the shit we’ve seen for this whole year. 5 years is yesterday in political and economic terms. Also, you are wrong. He visited in May and October, so 2 visits in 7 months. And people all over the world have tried to make deals with Trump. Almost none of them have worked out at all, let alone well.

              As for an actual war, with armies meeting in the field? I don’t need to be a tactician to see that trying to go toe to toe with the country that spends more than the next 9 largest militaries in the world, which does not include Canada, is a fools errand. I also don’t think our military leaders are fools. I’d be completely unsurprised to learn that they have a plan for guerilla warfare should America try to invade. In spite of their military spending, they haven’t been successful against those since Vietnam, and we are uniquely positioned to bring a guerilla war into their territory.

                  You mention 3 countries in your list. Care to give your opinions on the other 87 countries?

                  Also, I never said Canada would attack America. America has already started a trade war and threatened to annex us. I wouldn’t rule out that devolving into something faster or more aggressive from the guy who wondered why nuclear missiles were just left sitting in silos instead of using them and renamed the Department of Defense to the department of War.
