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.
@evan just tabling number 1. would almost certainly confirm the end of NATO as an organization that members can put confidence in, and that’s assuming it would pass without objection. The US regime has zero interest in constraining itself.
@mamba yes, I think it would be a huge deal and maybe break the alliance. I don't see any way to avoid that drama, except to concede in advance that the answer would be no.
