“The most dangerous lie in politics is not that war is coming, but that friendship makes it impossible. Power does not need hatred to invade — only opportunity, arrogance, and an unprepared neighbor.”

The Unthinkable Is Being Modeled
Canada Is Quietly Preparing for a U.S. Invasion — And You Should Be Too
Let’s get one thing straight, immediately:
If you’re still operating on the belief that “the United States would never do that”, you are not being rational — you are being nostalgic.
Because the Canadian Armed Forces are no longer assuming goodwill. They are modeling the unthinkable. And militaries do not waste time modeling fairy tales.
They model plausibility.
“Unlikely” Is Not the Same as “Impossible”
Officials are falling over themselves to repeat the word unlikely.
Unlikely invasion.
Unlikely orders.
Unlikely rupture.
That word is doing an enormous amount of emotional labor.
Because behind the scenes, Canada’s military planners are asking a far more dangerous question:
“What if the safeguards fail?”
And the answer they keep arriving at is this:
-
Canada cannot defeat the United States conventionally
-
Canada cannot hold its borders
-
Canada cannot protect its skies alone
-
Canada cannot win a stand-up fight
So they are planning for something far older, darker, and more honest.
Resistance.
When Allies Start War-Gaming Each Other, Something Has Already Broken
This is the first time in a century that Canada has modeled a U.S. assault.
Read that again.
Not Russia.
Not China.
Not some abstract enemy.
The United States.
A NATO founder.
A NORAD partner.
A country that controls Canada’s airspace jointly — until it doesn’t.
Military planners are explicitly imagining a scenario where:
-
NORAD cooperation ends
-
Shared skies end
-
Orders change overnight
-
Ottawa becomes a target, not a partner
That is not paranoia.
That is institutional realism.
The Timeline Is Terrifyingly Short
The model assumes U.S. forces could overwhelm Canada’s strategic positions in:
-
Two days (optimistic for the U.S.)
-
One week (conservative estimate)
After that?
Canada stops being a state that defends itself and becomes a state that resists occupation.
And resistance is ugly. It is asymmetric. It is personal.
The Dirty Secret: Canada’s Defense Strategy Is Insurgency
Say it plainly, without euphemism:
Canada is studying the Taliban.
Canada is studying the Afghan mujahedeen.
Canada is studying IED warfare, sabotage, drones, ambushes, and hit-and-run tactics.
Why?
Because those tactics worked.
They worked against the Soviet Union.
They worked against the United States.
They worked for twenty years.
This is not romantic. It is not heroic. It is not cinematic.
It is what happens when a smaller society is invaded by a technologically superior force and decides not to surrender.
And if that makes you uncomfortable, good. It should.
“They Will Outgun You” — Yes. And That’s the Point.
Let’s kill another comforting lie:
“But the U.S. military is unbeatable.”
Correct — in conventional warfare.
But occupation is not a battle.
Occupation is a relationship.
And history is brutally consistent on this point:
-
Superior firepower does not guarantee control
-
Advanced technology does not guarantee legitimacy
-
Shock and awe does not guarantee obedience
Ask the Soviets.
Ask the Americans.
Ask every empire that assumed speed would replace consent.
You cannot drone a population into compliance forever.
The Border Myth Is Dead
Retired generals are saying the quiet part out loud:
There is a quantum difference between fighting abroad and fighting at home.
Windsor is not Kandahar.
Toronto is not Fallujah.
Vancouver is not Helmand.
In an occupation scenario, everyone becomes terrain.
That doesn’t mean everyone picks up a weapon.
It means every street, system, and assumption becomes unreliable.
Occupying Canada would require millions of troops.
The U.S. does not have them.
The Real Deterrent Is Not the Canadian Military
Canada’s true deterrents are not tanks or jets.
They are:
-
Geography
-
Population spread
-
Urban scale
-
International backlash
-
Allied intervention
-
And the certainty that resistance would be endless
British planes.
French support.
German ships.
Japanese and South Korean pressure.
An invasion of Canada is not a bilateral affair — it is a global rupture.
And U.S. generals know this.
Trump Is Not the Point — Systems Are
This is where people get sloppy and comforting again.
“This is just Trump.”
“This ends with the election.”
“This is bluster.”
No.
Trump is not the disease.
Trump is the stress test.
He is revealing how fragile alliances become when norms collapse and power is personalized.
If you think American or Russian politics are stable enough to trust blindly — you have not been paying attention.
The Most Dangerous Canadians Are the Unprepared Ones
Here is the real controversy:
Not preparing is not peaceful.
Not preparing is not moral.
Not preparing is not rational.
Preparation does not mean panic.
It does not mean militarization.
It does not mean fantasizing about war.
It means:
-
Understanding dependency
-
Reducing vulnerability
-
Building civil resilience
-
Strengthening local systems
-
Taking homeland defense seriously
Because the best way to ensure these scenarios never happen is to make them unwinnable.
Final Truth, No Comfort Included
No, an invasion is not likely.
Yes, it is being modeled anyway.
Yes, the U.S. would outgun Canada.
No, that would not end the story.
The tactics of the small have ended empires before.
And the most dangerous moment in history is always the one where people say:
“That would never happen here.”
Prepare — not because you want conflict,
but because denial has never stopped one.
