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 and how should Americans flee if you close the border?
@Tabby_Schaf I'm sure there are ways to make it work, but there are also 193 other countries on the planet. I'd recommend fleeing to one that your country is not trying to invade.
@evan but how, since the planes are controlled?
@Tabby_Schaf I honestly don't know. Where do Russian dissidents go? I am pretty sure they don't try to cross the front lines into Ukraine.
@evan they have some more borders. But once they crossed they continue to flee by plane. If I were American, I would cross the border to Canads and the take a plane to Australia, New Zealand, evtl. Portugal, GB
@Tabby_Schaf well, I guess if there were a war going on on the Canadian border, you'd have to go to Mexico instead, and then fly from there.
It feels extreme to ask Canadians not to defend themselves from an invasion, so there's a convenient exit path for American emigrants? Am I misunderstanding the question?
@evan yes you misunderstood and eventually me too misunderstood: I thought you spoke of closing the border right now. In the moment of invasion you have to do.
@Tabby_Schaf also, in doing a little research, there are usually humanitarian corridors maintained for refugees and asylum seekers, sometimes maintained by international organizations. Apparently, even some political dissidents and other Russian refugees did go across the battle line into Ukraine!
@evan don't think they could, because even Ukrainians of the Eastern parts had to go to Russia, then to the Lituvian border. Initially there was a corridor in Sumy and Sapphorishija.
Now since long all is closed, no escape.
@evan actually it's too late for them to flee. Initially they fled to Kazachstan, Georgia, Finland, Litauen, evtl. They could fly to Serbia or Turkey.
@evan @Tabby_Schaf As someone who would love to move to Canada (but can't right now due to family), I'm with you on this. If the US did invade Canada, it would be absolutely foolish for Americans to try to escape there - only to potentially be recaptured. A better plan is to stay put and sabotage/fight the fascists, or escape to a different country.
@Andres4NY @evan abetter plan is to stay and fight , if you don't have to protect children.
@Andres4NY @evan after invasion you have to close the border of course, this would be the frontline. But just now?
@Tabby_Schaf @Andres4NY Right. In this case, the US government gives confirmation that it intends to invade. That's when the border would be closed. So Canada could prepare to stop the invasion.
