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 Stupid plan, don't you think, I mean, frankly, it is stupid that this is indeed neccicery ! The plan that you outline is a good plan, don't get me wrong, but it is stupid.
For you saying "is #nato #article5 also applicable betwéén NATO-members" there is some history: #France has a mutual defence argreement with #Greece because of the tread #turiye poses to Greece
@feike it's almost impossible, but I don't see a lot of alternatives. But, yes, it's stupid that we need a plan.
