A new poll suggests almost a third of Canadians say the United States might attempt "direct action" to take control of Canada, with a fifth of Americans agreeing.
But again, that would probably fuck up the business case for Wegovy and other Novo Nordics products and subsequently Denmark’s economy. Might be a bad idea. We shouldn’t forget about the billionaires and their wealth.
I always love the duality of comments on this topic. America’s military is a Schrodinger’s Military at this point, both terrifying and completely non-existent basically depending on what time of day the conversation happens at.
Canadians can’t help because the military is so powerful (completely obvious and understandable) but also, like somebody up above said, “Americans are feckless sheep” for not shooting up the White House yet.
Everybody’s a hero until it’s their life on the line.
Militaries are only as strong as the country’s will to continue to fight. The US had great social upheaval for a relatively low casualty war in Vietnam (<60k dead in 8 yr). Compare the casualty rates from Vietnam with what Russia is experiencing in Ukraine (180-480k deaths in 3 yr).
I remember listening to Dan Carlin talk about how wars are typically won by the side that doesn’t know when to give up. Early Rome was this way. 1941 USSR was this way. 2026 USA is NOT going to win a drawn out, existential war. We would kill a lot of people, sure, thanks to all the weapons and guns but we don’t think we have what it takes to win a major power war anymore.
We’re waiting until the USA economy collapses under Trump’s incompetence and the military refuses orders because they’re not being paid. Then we leisurely walk in.
Can, like, Canada and Denmark invade us instead? I wouldn’t have to convince my wife to move out of this shithole
We would bring scary things like free wealthfare with us. And all americans were to accept it. Nonnegotiable. Almost a dictatorship like move.
You MANIACS! YOU
BLEW IT UPMADE US HEALTHIER!But again, that would probably fuck up the business case for Wegovy and other Novo Nordics products and subsequently Denmark’s economy. Might be a bad idea. We shouldn’t forget about the billionaires and their wealth.
Unfortunately the fix has to come from inside your own borders. You all have sacrificed way too much funding your military
