    it appeares in my last comment I didnt actually mention one of the elephants in the room.

    Im gonna stop you right there at “move things by boat to Canada”

    the US Navy owns the Atlantic Ocean. bought, paid for and signed. Nothing is getting across the ocean. Spare for possibly a British or French nuclear submarine that decided to unload on the eastern seaboard. and they’re not gonna pick a fight with the US that they’re already terribly outgunned in, whilst also trying to deal with the mouth foaming Vatniks who are more or less already at war with NATO

      I don’t think the US could continue to own the atlantic Ocean in this situation. The ships would be needed all over the world to protect US assets. There just aren’t enough to go around, and it is a big ocean.
