I’m… “optimistic” is not at all the right word considering how depressing all of this is.
But I’m Something that the US has no intentions of using military force against Canada (so just economic and political…). trump can demand whatever he wants but even the lowly colonels will soil themselves at the thought and find ways to refuse.
Because starting a war in The Middle East or Venezuela or even Europe is one thing. Pretty much nothing can actually hurt the continental US without fighting through a fleet of aircraft carriers and all our airbases.
Whereas Canada and Mexico share pretty massive borders with us. If they want to retaliate, they will.
Of course… its trump so he might very well just tell people on twitter to go throw pipe bombs across the border to get the war he wants.
Fighting Canada would go about as well as Russia into Ukraine, with less fighters and an ineffective Navy.
Oh. It would go about 4.45x worse (ignoring Alaska). And russia can’t even properly protect their border and prevent Ukrainian strike teams from crossing it.
