Comment on What would happen if USA invades Canada?

What would be the reaction of the Canada King (Charles III is the king of Canada)?

Absaolutely nothing. Maybe some strong words. He has no power.

The Commonwealth? NATO?

Tough to say. Getting actively involved in a war in North America would be very difficult logistically for the European countries or the Commonwealth, so I don’t think there would be an immediate military reaction. Possibly a Ukraine-type situation where the NATO countries try to aid Canada with equipment as best as they can. But even that will be difficult across the Atlantic ocean, which the US can probably blockade. Local politics would be absolute chaos, with an ally that many countries have relied on suddenly turning enemy. With the US having military bases everywhere, they could also threaten countries into keeping out of the war. I think the situation would unfortunately be quite bleak for Canada.

I hope the NATO push would be stronger than simple arms supplies, if nothing less based on the likely crumbling of the alliance. If it were to fall it’s very conceivable Canada would strike deals with the Chinese, or even Russia to maintain its independence. Protected guerrilla warfare regardless, which the USA does not have a great track record, especially considering it’s never tried it with as well armed and aligned nation as Canada.

You think a U.S. military base isn’t getting kicked the fuck out of a foreign country the moment they are declared an enemy? Or do you have such a little opinion of everyone else that you think a couple of military bases will immediately take over every European county at once?

If America invades Canada it’s global reach becomes null and void essentially the next day. Every Nato country expels American military personnel, by force if necessary, and America’s role in the world is done, regardless if they win against Canada or not.

  No, or rather I don’t think many countries would immediately be willing declare them an enemy. Europe shies away from armed conflict and quick, decisive actions unfortunately aren’t our strong suit either. I’d fully expect a drawn out political shitshow before anything actually happens.

  Take over? No. But I do think they’d be a deterrence factor, especially considering they also carry nukes.
