But did they send Canada's negotiation dream team?

Again, without US power, Canada's geography is its best defense. It is in a relatively unique position that few other countries can mimic. For that reason, in such a situation, internal issues would be the greatest security threat for Canada.

Only within the context of the US beating the Soviets.
If the Soviets had won they would already be puppet stating Northern Canada.

Again look how far we moved the NATO borders into Russia. Alaska is ex Russian.

Liberalism is the greatest threat to Canada, just like everywhere else.

Why should anyone else hate Canada? They are not "roading" anyone else's coattails.

That doesn't make any sense.

Even if they were "roading" our coattails, that still wouldn't be any reason to hate them. After all, they're not forcing us to do anything we haven't agreed to. The fact is that both sides have been helping each other get rich for generations. Canada has been right there with us through thick and thin, and hasn't been doing anything that Trump didn't agree to in 2020.

Ah yes, you claim without US power, but you bank that on a successful cold war victory by the US, then after creating the peace through strength, crushing the Soviet might, the US just falls apart?


No, I am clearly suggesting that the Canadians understood the Soviet threat, and spent accordingly?

I am saying that they do not have any external threat even in the absence of US power currently. If we are talking about some historical scenarios which involve the Soviets seriously threatening Canada's Western frontier (which of course was not in their war plans), what was driving Canada's desire to participate in the defense of Western Europe? Think carefully here for once.

Just look at what their government did to the Canadian truckers during Covid and then they re-elected the same government in the last election.

Holy shite, look what Trump did during COVID when he shut our entire economy down, and fast-tracked what he called a vaccine, and you idiots went and elected him again.

Speech crimes, among other legislation, should 100% be shunned by the western world, but they are instead embraced by the likes of countries like Canada.

If you're going to hate every country that doesn't have the same protections for speech that we have, you're going to have to hate everybody else.

That's a LOT of hate. I just don't care to hate that much. How other people want to conduct their governments is their business. I'll either do business with them or I won't. I don't have time for all that hate.

Listen to me. There is no state that currently exists that could mount an invasion of Canada other than the US due to Canada's geography. The US is the only country in the world with the logistical ability to pull off expeditionary operations an ocean away. No one else has that capability.

Thank you for agreeing with me. A lot of people don't understand that hate is an emotion too.

Except for their stated plans for North America, which differ from this fiction. Their entire geopolitical goal was to hem the US in to North America, unable to project power. You are imagining a scenario where the Soviets would target the Canadians exclusively, which still doesn't suggest they could 'puppet' them in any way. This isn't a video game. Countries are always limited by several factors. The reality is that the Soviets paid little attention to their navy, and even currently, the Russians do not regard themselves as a naval power. Their interest is exclusively in land-based projections. The threat from the Soviets to Canada was mainly based off threats to the US itself from missiles and bombers, not from a potential expedition like that moron alluded to earlier.

Again, Canada has a unique geographic situation which gives it some advantages relative to its security. But if you imagine that a French state was established in Quebec, or if there were several states to their South (in case the US broke apart) that would change the geopolitical metrics. But that change would include everyone in North America.

Word from the grapevine is Trump told Carney he doesn't do trade deals with territories and states. Carney was then advised the nation of Canada had a nice run simply because the US allowed it. OMB then ask Carney to check with the Crown and see if they like the new name for the state/territory of the nation formerly known as Canada.......it's now AmeriCanada.

I am pointing out there is no global predator who has the capability, even without US power, due to the geography of Canada itself. This is the point you keep missing. There are other countries who are similarly insulated due to their geography except for a near neighbor, such as Ireland. So again, there is no global predator that is a danger to Canada even if the US was not a global power. You need to understand that before you pretend anything you wrote is meaningful.

Let’s not forget their decision to recognize a Palestinian state just before the Aug 1 deadline. That blunder might’ve been the reason for the shunning in DC.

An extremely robust logistical chain, complete control of seaways, control of staging areas near the Canadian coast, and seamless combined arms ability. Amphibious operations are exceedingly difficult and the scale of what would be required would be hard to fathom. For comparison, during WW2, the US had something like 1200 combat ships, several thousand support ships, millions of personal, as well as staging areas where they had historical associations due to American desire to impose naval power into the Pacific very early on in US history. And still getting into a position where invading mainland Japan was even a real possibility was immensely difficult.

We have not seen the Chinese attempt anything at all resembling combined arms. I don't think they've had any direct combat operations since the Sino-Vietnamese War in 1979. The possibility exists that they are extremely competent, but it is a massive expenditure to mount an invasion of a country an ocean away.
