      The only resistance that could stand a chance against the US army would be organized by the Canadian government, in which case they’d provide you with the weapon.

        Depends on the nature of the conflict, Unless the US is willing to completely level most of Canada and much of its own northern states you’ve pretty much got Afghanistan 2.0 only now the the villagers the terrorists blend into are US citizens.

        I suspect there will be a sharp divide of the military if they were ordered to deploy within the US. And with that, probably some military hardware.

        There will be insurgent forces throughout all 50 states. And probably disconnected. It will be like hydra. A lack of organization across the entire country could be a benefit as the military would have so many groups to deal with.

      The statistics are overwhelmingly clear; the most likely person to be killed by a gun is its owner.

      Yeah, probably. There’s lots of good options, but it’s hard to go wrong with a 12-gauge shotgun.

      Edit: and as someone else said, prepare for levee en masse. Get started now, grow a garden if you have space, start guerilla gardening if you don’t, teach yourself to forage, can, and fix shit like tears in clothing. For food crops: beans. Beans beans beans beans beans. And potatoes. You’ll hate life, but you’ll be alive to hate it.

    I agree that this is just so he has reason to continue his attacks, I am guessing it will be aimed at Mexico but Canada needs to be ready.

    Here comes the “special military operation”, but it’s not a declaration of war so he doesn’t need congressional approval.

      Actually thanks to the 2001 AUMF he doesn’t need Congress as long as it’s part of the (still ongoing, never officially ended) “war on terror”. Which, presumably, would include stopping WMDs.

    If this goes forward, we have to pay close atention. This certainly is looking for two goals, short and long term. Short is Canada and Mexico. Long term is China

          I don’t want to be a prisoner but let’s be honest they already know what I have typed. It’s already been green lit to spy on queer folx for being queer.

            That’s why you need to get a bottle of fash away and make sure they orally take the product for best results. Emergency use only.

            To avoid getting banned, I’m not going to spell it out but you can read between the lines.

    Soooo can we declare Purdue Pharmaceutical and the Sackler family terrorists organization under that rhetoric? Asking for a friendly nation.

      Nope only applies to illicit fentanyl. Same reason coca cola is the nation’s only legal supplier of cocaine.

    Hmm fenyntal as a weapon wasn’t on my list of war crimes to add to the Geneva checklist but we can throw it to the boys to figure out how to make it work and be novel enough to add a section or two to the next version

      It was on mine. Open up the drug trade. Work with the Mexican gangs. Flood more than just fentanyl and create a massive drug crisis. Much bigger than the one that exists now. Hard to fight both at the same time and affects your ability to field an army.

        I mean all i had on my mind was poisoning a water supply with the stuff but I think that’s already on the list somewhere. Other idea was all pows would be turned into drug addicts using it but I assume that’s on the list already

        Either way like I said we can kick the idea around the room for better ideas
