China is hoping President Donald Trump's economic and military actions against other countries will weaken the U.S.-Canada relationship.

    one-way ticket to invasion by Americans

    … this will be inevitable the moment they take Greenland.

      I agree it’s an unfortunate eventuality. Whether it’s in the next 2 months or 2 decades I’m fairly confident in my belief that we’ll see a Russia-Ukraine war situation but with USA and Canada.

        A Russia-Ukraine war situation would mean that Canada at some point will have a government that is hostile towards the US. I find that extremely unlikely and actually think that Canada will sooner willingly give up it’s sovereignty to the US.

          Canada will sooner willingly give up it’s sovereignty to the US.

          For all intents and purposes it already has. As climate change accelerates the national bourgeois of the US will pine for Canada’s natural resource riches, which they know they can take like stealing candy from a baby.

          There will be a point where Canada either ceases to exist as a sovereign entity or stands in defiance. Why are Canada and the US different nations to begin with for the last 250 years?

        Exactly. I think Venezuela is difficult for the US to invade, just because of oceans and jungles and distances; boots on the ground style. Prolonged wars with mass-logistic kill-chains always happen along direct land borders. One might argue the Sino-Japanese war negates this, but Japan needed to prepare a base in Manchuria and Korea for decades prior.

        Wasn’t that sort of the case with the war of 1812?

          Yeah that’s a decent way to think of it, although Canada at that time was a British colony so not quite 1-to-1.
