Let's not joke hear CA doesn't stand a chance. They've no nukes. They lack economic power. And they don't have a cultural identity beyond "hey we aren't America". The last thing Canada wants is to fight a global super power.

Sure, maybe they’d win the invasion easily, but can they win an occupation of a hostile populace for an indeterminate duration? The 21st Century repeatedly suggests the answer to that is “no, eh”.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

occupation of people who are virtually indistinguishable at a glance. Just ask the Russians how that worked out in Eastern Ukraine, the only way they could ever secure the place was by killing pretty much everyone.

The last thing the US wants is to be a pariah to the UK, Australia, NZ and South Africa. Them old commonwealth loyalties run deep. Not to mention France would take extreme exception to Quebec.

Even if we didnt intervene militarily we all love Canada, It would be economic suicide.

South Africa is already against America, they're in bed with China and Russia, they're the S of "BRICS"

And the B has a semi socialist leader trying to clean up Bolsonaro's mess. Definitely not a monolith.

"Hey we aren't X" has earned the presidency of the United States every 4 years for at least as long as I've been alive. Never doubt the power of "hey we aren't X".

In fact, that should be Metas new slogan.

Bluesky: Hey we aren't X

Germany, Austria and Switzerland speak German, and are still different countries. US, UK, Canada, NZ and Australia speak English, and are different countries France and Belgium speak French, are different countries. The entire Arabic speaking world is spread across like 20 countries. Russia and Ukraine both speak Russian*, and one tried to merge with the other, violently, and are now bitter enemies probably forever..

Is "Fuck off and leave people alone" an option in peoples brains?

They've no nukes.

You're gonna nuke an upwind state that you'd like to conquer? It'd be a drone fight like Ukraine.

They lack economic power.

California’s economy ranks fifth internationally, behind the US, China, Germany, and Japan. On a per capita basis, California’s GDP is greater than that of all of these countries.

they don't have a cultural identity

Dude, that's bogus. This is literally the same bullshit Putin says about Ukraine.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

They aren't talking about California

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Oh. Good point. 🤦‍♂️

Well in that case everything but economic power still stands.

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

I here you but what if they challenge us to a hockey game? I don't think we're prepared for how ugly this can get.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Canada sucked major ass at the world juniors this year. USA has won back to back.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

And it's hockey season, you ever try to get between a Canadian and a good hockey game? They'll win so fast they don't have time to get sober!

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 5 points 9 months ago

Congress needs to ask the pentagon why they maintain a wide threatening lead I'm Zamboni technology!

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Just think of all those US soldiers slipping and sliding across the zamboni fields while the graceful Canadians glide on their skis. No attacker stands a chance.

Sir I assure you this community tolerates only the most serious conversations.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
