Trump continually says the war in Ukraine is horrible, soldiers and civilians are dying everyday and he hates to see suffering and dying over there.
Well, has he thought what would happen if the USA tried to annex Canada? There would be people dying, there would be soldiers AND civilians killed, it would be just as bad, if not worse than Ukraine.
Canadians will FIGHT for our country. We will kill and die for our country if we have to, just like any other country defending an attack on their sovereignty.
Why hasn’t any reporters even asked him this question??
My point being: why let them be? Why intentionally nerf Canadian citizenry, when they could be given every advantage?
I think we agree on the overall premise, but disagree on the degree. I also think that’s fine. I don’t know how hard it would be to arm Canadians broadly as you suggest. I’m suggesting that armament will be most effective built on a foundation of intelligence and logistics.
I think there would be value in something like the Swiss model (though I understand that it isn’t as ubiquitous as it once was).
