How long would an all-out war between the US vs. Canada/Mexico last?

Two fronts, Canada trying to invade from the North, Mexico trying to invade from the South. No nukes obviously. How long until we declare total victory? I predict the Southern front would be won in a week, Northern front is much trickier. Long border to protect, plus the issue of what to do with Alaska.

Luckily the weakest part of our country would only have to deal with Canada

Less than a week. We would crush either of them.

Canadians have been shockingly formidable in the past when it came to ground troops. Read stories of World War I, and they were certainly the biggest badasses on the Western Front.

Gloves off? Mexico almost immediately. Canada would be a bitch.

we might lose in another couple weeks when none of our citizens are equipped with them assaulting type rifles.

You're looking at it the wrong way. Alaska gets us strategic placement to end the Canada portion before it even starts.

If Canada starts marching across the border we would stage a pincer attack from alaska and it would be over before it really even started.

I'm not a military expert, but I think it would be a pain in the arse to push the southern front all the way up into the mountains to get to Mexico City.

There are obviously some differences, but I also think the invasion of Canada seems an awful lot like trying to invade Russia.

Canada has less population than California. Mexico doesn't really have a military. It really wouldn't be a fight.

With Trump as President? About 2 days. And, Mexico would pay for it!

I guess it depends on the objective.

Once we have repelled the invaders, are we looking to invade them and take their countries?

To repel the invaders, that would take a relatively short amount of time. Would need to mobilize ground forces, but the Air and Naval units would win within a matter of days at most. Ground forces would repel any invasion, and we would be ready for one as they would not be able to hide their ground troops from amassing without us knowing.

Invading them would be a different story. It obviously depends on how much of their resources they committed to the assault.
