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

quote:

---

Two fronts, Canada trying to invade from the North, Mexico trying to invade from the South.

The Texas National Guard, all by itself, fully mobilized could defeat whatever conventional forces Mexico had to offer. If the other border states just offer support and flank security, we wouldn't even need the regular U.S. military for that.

As far as Canada, let's just say they have a lot more sense aboot things than this, buddy.

I also think the invasion of Canada seems an awful lot like trying to invade Russia.

Except for the fact that Canada only has about 100,000 active duty troops and Russia has about 15,000 tanks and 4,000 aircraft, where Canada only has a couple hundred. Plus once the US ground forces invaded, it wouldn't take long to capture all the meaningful territory considering how every major Canadian city is relatively close to the US border. It would be a very short war. Less than a week.

We could stop a war with canada almost instantly

We could just tell them "stop it you're being rude, go back home'


and they would be all like "you are right, sorry aboot that eh"

Not to mention I think something like 75% of Canada's population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border.

We’d beat Mexico’s arse in a hurry. They don’t have their shite together and would collapse with ease.

Side note, one of the dumbest moves in American history was when we said frick Manifest Destiny and let them keep modern day Mexico after we beat that arse the first time. As Patton would say, we had em by the nose, should have been kicking them in the arse.

Weather doesn’t concern me with Canada. Most of their important shite is basically on the border anyway. We could surround their major areas pretty easily.

Destroying either nation’s entire military would be easy. Less than a week.

Occupying Mexico? frick that.

Serious question, does mexico have more than like 5 fighter jets?


I feel like we would crush them through the air


Just looked it up. They actually have 0 fighter jets

Canada ain't fricking with Big Brother.

The U.S. would command the skies pretty quick. The U.S. Navy would cut off both Canada and Mexico as well, easily. I would expect only small pockets of suicidal resistance shorty after.

So they attacked us is what I assume you are pondering correct?

In that case I would hope that we would do what it takes to defend the invasion and start to push back or stop the advance on both fronts within 2 weeks.

After that I'd commence bombing runs in Mexico and Canada until they were blasted back to 1816. In my mind that would probably take at least another week depending on how hard our leader at the time is willing to go in.

So I'd say a month tops.
