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 there is one problem I potentially see with closing the borders: trans people from the US who might be seeking asylum in the next few months and years.
@ch0ccyra1n there are 193 other countries on the planet, but I'm sure something could be worked out.
@evan @ch0ccyra1n If the US government declares martial law and flights are grounded, there are only two countries that are feasible escape routes.
@brennx0r @ch0ccyra1n I don't know what to tell you. Canada is a real country with almost 40M people in it, not an imaginary safe zone for American dissidents. I think it's imperative for all countries to take in refugees and asylum seekers, but maybe procrastinating until there's a war happening on the border you're trying to cross isn't the best plan.
@evan @brennx0r @ch0ccyra1n you’re right, but #Canada would be wise to accept all the scientists, engineers, & technicians who are escaping the US.
@Breedlov @brennx0r @ch0ccyra1n agreed. And obviously I am not in charge of Canada's defense. I don't know how a country defending against an invasion keeps a corridor open for refugees and asylum seekers from that same invading country. Maybe it's possible, I dunno.
@evan @breedlov @brennx0r @ch0ccyra1n And please turn them against us. Anything to beat us.
