If U.S. President Donald Trump fails in his stated goal of annexing Canada through economic force, what would happen if he ordered the world’s most powerful military to invade?
Some experts and academics say it’s a notion too preposterous to even contemplate. But Aisha Ahmad isn’t one of them.
“When you look at the power (imbalance) between the U.S. and Canada, an invasion would immediately result in the defeat of the Canadian Armed Forces,” said the University of Toronto political science professor, who last month published an essay on the subject in The Conversation.
“But a conventional military victory is not the end of this story. It’s just the beginning.”
Blue states won’t stand for it either, the US will have to deal with the double threat of saboteurs and defectors
Blue states understand that you can’t just go and TAKE a country’s sovereignty, and that trying to do so sets a dangerous precedent.
Red states seem to forget that it goes both ways. Another country can try to TAKE the US (e.g., Russia, china).
Red states seem to forget that they would be furious if another country tried to invade the US. They fail to look in the mirror.

Then cities and people in blue counties would probably be the opposite.
While true, I think people would easily drive a few counties to sabotage an invasion force, which blurs the map. I would consider the state level about even
There would also be civilian targets. Those huge retirement towns filled with MAGA boomers in Florida - the ones where they drive golf carts around - those will burn to the ground.
