They don’t have the two million troops they’d need to hold the country.

They don’t have a mechanism to stop Canadians flooding south and buying weapons and setting their cities on fire.

They don’t have the political will within the country to go to war with Canada.

But never mind all that.

Don’t be so sure nobody is coming to help.

Canada is a NATO member. Just because the president doesn’t give a #### about it doesn’t mean Article 5 doesn’t exist for the other countries in the alliance who are sworn to defend one another.

France and the UK are nuclear powers. They have the same invisible submarines with the h-bombs that the Americans do.

They will not just let the United States take Canada.
I don't know.

I wonder if Trump's distain for Ukraine is designed to have Europe focus on their backyard and if push comes to shove they will keep forces in Europe to counter Russian threats.
