    And if Canada agreed with you and started launching rockets at the US on that basis, it would suffer the consequences. Much like Hezbollah.

      If the US historically colonized Vancouver in the past, until an Armed Canadian Resistance forced the US to withdrawal, and the US continued to occupy and ethnicity cleanse let’s say Alaska (if Alaska was not a part of the US in this scenario), and that armed group would continue to resist as long as the US occupied indigenous people, then yes. The genocidal US regime would extend it’s aggression to Canada once again

        Let’s try an actual historical example.

        Russia historically colonized Lithuania in the past, until the dissolution of the Soviet Union forced Russians to withdraw, but Russia continued to occupy and ethnically cleanse Kaliningrad (formerly the German city of Konigsberg).

        What do you suppose would happen to Lithuania if it started launching rockets at Russia in an effort to decolonize Kaliningrad? Same as Hezbollah: FAFO

          And if Russia also had plans to recolonize Lithuania as part of a greater Russia, should they fight back or should they dissolve their military and hope Russia doesn’t, despite that they have in the past and the notion of a greater Russia is popular within the Russian military and government officials?

            Plans are not an act of war. China has plans to take Taiwan. The US has made detailed plans to attack everyone, even Canada, if necessary.

            If Russia fired actual rockets at Lithuania, that’s an act of war and Lithuania would have a right to defend itself.
