Indigenous communities in the Ring of Fire stand to benefit greatly or suffer dearly in the race for critical minerals. Locals say their opposition to mining is misunderstood.
strategically America absolutely stands to benefit economically, militarily, and food security wise from annexing Canada.
Only of you pretend there are no Canadians. Once you factor in the cost of generations of hatred, terrorism, and insurgency from the people America just stabbed on the collective backs, not to mention the international reaction, maybe the old idea of paying for our resources in fair trade would have worked out better.
Average Canadians are not well armed and don’t have as much access to a weapons market as other insurgencies in the past. If america genuinely needs more water at some point, its very likely they are willing to pay those prices. Look how long they fought in places less important than securing water, essential for life. America also doesn’t give a shit if they kill civilians in a bombing run and those numbers could increase if they are trying to send a message. Some of the thirsty Americans would even be cheering the flames if it kept their taps running.
Canada should invest in its own defense and also look into alliances with other nations.
Critical infrastructure that could easily sabotaged by Canadian guerilla forces, pipelines, waterlines, dams, bridges, electrical infrastructure,etc. We look like you, sound like you and we can get to you.
You should look at a map. The headwaters to the rivers you depend on originate in Canada. We currently have agreements on how those rivers are managed, so we all have water. You throw away those agreements? Well I guess we can just dump whatever into those rivers with no fucks given to the Americans that live downstream.
Don’t kid yourself, the US takes military action against Canada and we’re talking guerilla warfare. And guerillas poisoning the wells is something there’s accounts of going back to Roman times. Poisoning a river that flows into enemy lands? No brainer.
And this is the dumbest thing ever. You could buy water (or any other resource) from Canada. This is something your criminal President dreamed up because he has a history of ripping people off whenever he could. You want to be considered the most dishonorable country in history by going to war with a country that just fought alongside you for decades so you can steal some resources?
Bottom line: there were 1,922 Americans killed in Afghanistan. 4,492 killed in Iraq. So Canadians would need to kill between 2000 and 5000 Americans to win the war. I’m willing to fight Americans for decades to get to that number. How long are you willing to fight in a war to help your President Judas betray it’s allies?
I think its foolish to assume that annexing canada is the same scale of warfare as the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.
In the case of occupation, american culture is very similar to canadian culture and they will quickly work to control media to paint any insurgencies as violent and terroristic to normal people.
I think canada’s best course of action is to be ready to respond to an american military threat. It is far easy to be ready to defend than to spur an insurgency.
America could also bomb us back to the stone age as they’ve done in other countries by targeting drinking water, waste water, manufacturing, and communications targets. Destroying a couple railway bridges and highway bridges could rip the nation in half trade wise. Even if we mount a succesful insurgency we’d likely have to rebuild from the ashes. I’d rather us come up with a defense plan to prevent that future.
