Bit different in this scenario. Not only would the idea of fighting the most powerful military on earth cause hesitation, but they'd be doing it from across the ocean where the us would no doubt have their navy stationed with nuclear submarines, destroyers, and air craft carriers. That, and if Russia is going to become more aggressive, which Trump is obviously empowering him to do, Europe needs to worry about itself. We are right next to them as well meaning they would be able to take us with almost no trouble. So nato would now have to conquer the us not just defend against it. Also, nato has never been tested in a situation like this. We don't know if the alliance would just fall apart or something. As a Canadian, I'm not really counting on them too much since the idea of them actually successfully protecting us seems completely out to lunch. I'm thinking nato falls apart once the us leaves it and is replaced by a more European oriented military alliance.
And that's Germany that just elected a right wing government and almost elected a FAR right government. Imagine the rest of Europe. On top of that, china's evs are top tier in quality from what I hear. Would much rather do business with them since they aren't trying to annex me.
I like the rhetoric, but the reality is we don't stand a fucking chance. It'll end up turning into an insurgency, not a stand up fight. Our military will crumble instantly, it'll be an occupation, and we'll be the next taliban.
Yeah and it worked. Canada and the us are fully enemies at this point. The best solution is for the what remains of the us to rise up and stamp out this dictatorship before things go too far.
China has done about 1/100th the crap the us has. Even at its best, the us was overthrowing legitimate governments and destroying entire nations. China may not be perfect, but they are a whole hell of a lot better than the us.
I mean all of this is definitely reason to be optimistic. Good perspective to have. Hopefully it's your version and not mine.
