So, here's my defense plan for Canada. Basic philosophy: it is unsafe to wait for an attack.
1. Get public confirmation from NATO that Article 5 applies even if the aggressor is also a NATO member.
2. Send an ultimatum to Washington demanding a public acknowledgement of Canadian sovereignty by the President and confirmation of non-aggression.
3. In the absence of that acknowledgement, sever diplomatic ties, close the borders, and embargo trade. Blow bridges, tear up roads and rail lines.
This is the funniest thing I have ever read since I left the army, and my last three years were spent around training staff officers.
Go give your kids a hug, get some ice cream, maybe learn how to grow some potatoes.
@thecueball thank you for the hobby advice! I will see what I can do. I have a big garden, but I mostly grow native plants. I just got some of these, though, which I'm looking to plant this spring:
@thecueball I am definitely a complete amateur with defense plans!
The only thing I know is that the US military is about 30 times bigger than ours, and the US economy is about 13 times bigger than ours. If we want to survive an invasion, we'll need to use whatever advantages we can get -- territory, initiative, allies.
If you were a nation-state supporter, what would you do to try to maintain Canadian sovereignty in the face of an American aggressor? Rough sketch.
