      Yeah. The moment American soldiers step foot across the Canadian border what are we going to do? It would already be over. We have no defense against the largest military in the world, and we stand no chance of defending the longest continuous border in the world. We will only be able to fight as an occupied resistance.

        So it’s just empty blathering then, when this German ambassador says they have our back. Great.

          I’m sure they want to mean it. But the reality is that when Russia starts making moves they will be pre-occupied and likely won’t be able to help much across the Atlantic

            Even if Russia didn’t do anything, how the hell is Germany even going to cross the Atlantik without getting blasted into oblivion? If they actually wanted to attack the US they’d have to start with the tens of thousands of US soldiers and secret service agents on their own soil.

            I get it. It’s just the kind of meaningless babble I’d expect in a social setting, like at a bar or party.
