      Apparently two thirds aren’t paying attention.

      There’s three letters already caught in Greenland seeking collaborators and Trump is very much making it clear violence is on the table.

      You’d be a fool to think fascists stay in their borders.

      An Invasion is unlikely but they will try to fuck with us as we get to the cusma renegotiations. Best we can hope for is trump to get bogged down with other things and people in his own country standing up to his nonsense.

      It’s unlikely but non zero. If USA decides to take Greenland it’s possible we join our NATO allies but that’s all wild things to think about.

      TIL thay 2 in 3 Canadians are still in denial about the threat presented south of the border.

      Huh, Redditors are decisively in the minority. Colour me shocked.

      31% is still wild, though. I wonder if there’s an age breakdown

      It’s because literally, there is no rhyme nor reason to what that megalomaniac does next. He has an ego that needs to be constantly fed, and he doens’t give two f&^ks about what happens on earth after he’s gone.

      or

      More likely they would steal fresh water, start ignoring borders, encourage Alberta separatists etc

      Even if its less than 1% chance it’s INSANE and we should prepare for the worst.

      Before Trump the chances were comfortably at 0 percent. It’s definitely above a 0 percent chance now and that’s wild to even think about

      I don’t think we will ever consider going for Toronto, Vancouver, or Ottawa. 

      But the Arctic? that’s definitely in his plans.

      Insane that modern conversation leads to us even having a poll like this.

    15. Rootfour on

      ‚The poll, which was conducted online and can’t be assigned a margin of error, surveyed 1,540 Canadians between Jan. 9 and Jan. 11.

      I read through, but where is the link to the actual poll. I am surprised the number isn’t higher given the media pumping out 5 articles a day since Maduro capture on US bad.

      Keep in mind that if the US invades Greenland (Denmark), then they are de facto declaring war on all member countries of NATO (which includes Canada). And so far, they seem pretty hellbent on siezing Greenland with no regard for this consequence. If the US takes Greenland by force, and NATO dissolves, there will be nothing to stop the US from blitzing Canada. The Trump administration has done nothing to indicate that they are not a threat to Canada. We should be worried.

      Between our oil reserves and fresh water it’s not exactly an impossibility. Not saying it will happen soon but they’re actively pursuing other nations resources in our hemisphere now.

      It’s more likely that they just take the water, encourage Alberta to become a state or separate (which is likely happening already) than aim for some sort of traditional coup/invasion.

      They’re pouring propaganda at us at unprecedented levels trying to break up the country, there’s a reason they want to weaken us from within. I don’t think they’ll put boots to the ground because the retaliation would cause economic damage they wouldn’t recover from for decades. But I do not trust their government.

    20. Infinite01 on

      I think military action against Canada is highly unlikely. Economic attrition has of course already started. The concerns in the immediate sense is that the US claims Greenland, NATO crumbles and the remaining countries form an alliance while China invades Taiwan – a country with no formal defence treaties to have other nations protect them , and Russia is empowered via lack of US involvement to overthrow the government in Ukraine, likely continuing their imperialist expansion to neighbouring countries. We could also see the US attacking Iran, again, in the immediate future. It’s very bleak as all of this sounds like the preamble to WW3. The US becoming a turncoat super power gives BRICS leverage that would have been thought impossible a couple years ago.

      It would only happen if Trump actually did a full power grab and then hid in his nuclear bunker. This would already be the end of the world as we know it.

    27. RoyallyOakie on

      It’s most certainly a bigger possibility than it has ever been in my lifetime.

      If the US harms Canada, it likely won’t do so by rolling tanks across the 49th parallel

      It could be by eroding sovereignty by breaking rules. For example, US truckers transiting between Alaska and Washington state and passing through Canada could be instructed to ignore inspections or licensing fees or processes.

      It has already damaged us economically and is willing to do more harm through tariffs, relocating jobs, and its banking systems.

      It could be by not notifying Canada of warship transits through Canadian waters, although I’ve heard they already do that now, not recognizing some territorial claims.

      It could be through building small bases on islands in the Far North.

      These are the kind of escalating, destabilizing, and relationship damaging actions that Trump favours. He is an agent of chaos and enjoys and benefits from stirring up problems, generating anger in his political base, and keeping his opponents off balance.

      As a country, we need to consider these possibilities and others, and have responses ready to go. Responding decisively regains initiative. We need to develop partnerships with more reliable countries. All of this started with Trump but could well go on after he leaves. The US is a superpower in decline and that decline could be a messy or even violent one. It’s too easy for their political leaders to deflect and ignore real problems by stirring up conflict within its population and with other counties as distractions.

      Canada has long been an extremely rich country in natural resources that would have been ripe for invasion by pretty much any country but for the fact that it shares the world’s longest border with the US. And anyone with brains inside the US already knows that they get easy access to most that Canada has to offer at prices that are a very good deal- it would likely be far more costly to mount an invasion force and try to govern such a large area. Trump’s posturing on Canada is one of pure machismo, there is no rational logic behind it. I say this as an American who has visited Canada more times than I can count and continues to do a lot of business with Canadian companies.

      If the US does invade Greenland they may also invade Canada. If NATO responds they would need to take Canada away as a staging area.

      It’s scary but if the US does go all in on this „zone of influence“ they can not let Canada remain free. If I was in charge of our army I would be trying our forces to fight in an extended guerrilla war where the historic positions of power would be defeated fairly quickly.

      A small well trained force that looks, talks, and shares many cultural traits of the US could be very tough to fight. It would be a dirty, bloody defense but the rules no longer apply so we need to do what’s needs to be done to defend our country.

      Yes it’s a long shot, yes it would likely destroy the US economy and general world order, yes anyone with half a brain would be against it. The only problem is that it ultimately falls to the decision of a corrupt, rapist, pedophile with dementia who behaves like a toddler who hates being told ’no‘ who has put a legion of yes men in charge of the US government so it’s still a very real possibility.

    34. funkme1ster on

      Sure, the US launched a military strike on Venezuela to capture their leader and – per the explicit broadcast statement of the POTUS – did it to secure their oil for US interests… but that was only because Maduro was a bad guy who needed to be brought to justice. By an external sovereign state with no jurisdiction. That’s hardly an indication that the US would launch a military strike on *another* country. Especially not one the POTUS has spent the past year insisting should be part of the US and that he feels entitled to. Past performance is a terrible indicator of future performance.

    36. Burofaksbarca on

      Very unlikely to be a direct invasion. The loss of long-term competitiveness for us is a big concern. We could become much more poor and irrelevant in a few decades if we don’t figure out our economy and strategic vision.
