72. All the US has to do is get Ottawa first.
Wed Feb 12, 2025, 07:00 AM
Feb 2025

And that can happen quickly. Before NATO and Europe get their act together.
Kill all Canadian federal leaders, take over all comms and airports.

Also psychologically it is going to be hard for NATO and Europe to start a war with the US.
Many lives will be lost. It is a certain march to their deaths.

Yes the only hope we have is that US senior officers refuse.
But that will mean court martial or death.
And certainly Trump will have installed all of his MAGAs officers into place at this point.

But yes, the tricky part is the occupation and then going to all the province capitals.

But also keep in mind, there are MAGAs types in Canada now, so it will be a civil war.
