Yep - the US is bad at fighting insurgencies, but a state military? Over in days. This does not materially change between Canada’s current military vs 5x their current military.

But fighting pissed-off indigenous Canadians? I wouldn’t sign up for that part.

None of this is relevant because the US does not want to own Canada.

I don’t know why you would think the US military would succeed this time when the last time it was successful in a large scale war was 80 years ago.

When was the last time it was fighting a nation-state controlled, uniformed army?

You wouldn’t bet on a horse that can’t even run faster than dogs to actually win its real race in 80 years, would you?

Why does your president keep saying the opposite?

He says stuff. If you haven’t figured out by now that the stuff he says and the stuff he does are different, I dunno what to tell you.
