    Canada isn’t a smuggle route worth billions.

    The only reason they could even potentially go into Mexico is due to the Cartels and their billion dollar drug trade. (I don’t have facts saying it’s a billion dollar drug trade. But I’m making an educated guess that’s it’s worth a shit ton of money)

    There is just no way in hell Canada would ever strike first on the US and be the aggressor. Even if Canada would strike at the US, why the hell would Europe side with Canada? They are now the aggressor. Attacking a fellow NATO member no less.

      The realism of my previous statement, no one would view it as a strike first, it’s retaliation for attacking Mexico.

      The alternative is to just get picked off one by one.

      After Canada comes Denmark so be realistic about it.

        Ehm… I disagree. Everyone would see it as a first strike. Because that’s what it is.

        Canada has no military alliance with Mexico as far as I know.

        I honestly can’t believe you put the words “be realistic about it” in the context of Canada striking the US.

        If Europe didn’t do more than sending weapons to Ukraine. Why would they do anything more to Canada? Which, would be logistically, an almost impossible task.

          Giving Russia control of the North Atlantic is a much bigger threat to Europe than giving them access to the Black Sea.

            What are you even talking about? Russia already have access to the Black Sea. And have had since the birth of their country.

            And what do you even mean “give them control” of the North Atlantic? When was the last time you looked at a map of the globe?
