Besides the fact that the US has now appointed an envoy to Greenland with the
task of bringing Greenland under American control, Canada is also preparing
for a possible war with the US.

The incredible fact is now a reality that the US is behaving in such a way
that Canada now feels compelled to be prepared for a war with its southern
neighbors.

Militarily speaking, Canada cannot win a war against the US.

But...

They also said the same about Ukraine. After all, Russia could easily win a
war against Ukraine.

From a purely military perspective, Canada cannot win.

But if 33 million Canadians do not accept an American occupation, then it will
be virtually impossible for the US to fully occupy Canada.

The cities in southern Canada are relatively easy to capture. Keeping them
permanently occupied by a hostile population is a different story.

In Toronto, millions of residents could start an uprising, and such a large
city poses a huge military challenge. The question is whether the US
population will tolerate the US bombing a city like Toronto and imprisoning
its population en masse in concentration camps. With a hostile population,
after all, you can hardly do otherwise.

The biggest problem for the US, however, is primarily the far north of Canada.
Canadians are easily mobile there, and the US will have a huge task
eliminating any Canadians who continue to resist.

A guerrilla war is ultimately unwinnable for the US. Losing soldiers in
attacks in Canada for months, and possibly years, will make an occupation of
Canada so expensive that the US, like Russia, will go bankrupt. People with
guns will win against a country with nuclear missiles.

Just as happened in Vietnam, but also as we saw in Afghanistan.

A US military invasion of Canada and Greenland will immediately isolate the
US's global position. Militarily, no one can simply defeat the US. But if no
one wants to trade with the US anymore, their global dominance will be gone
within a few years. The US without Canada and Europe, and facing the rest of
the world, will ultimately be economically, and consequently militarily,
hopeless.

If Trump orders an attack on Canada, I believe there's a good chance the US
military will revolt. I'd almost say I hope they would. Purely to save the US,
because that's what they're doing.
