Canada Should Get Nuclear Weapons

[Maurepas]

We realized you didn't want us after the first two wars. I think we're happy just being neighbors and not roomies.

[Sin and Debauchery]

Canada doesn't need nukes, they have the mounties!



Nukes are for nerds!

[The New Sea Territory]

No. Nuclear weapons should be disposed of.

Things look like they're pretty crazy down in the US border and some day, the USA might suddenly decide to invade and annex Canada (they've shown their willingness to invade somewhere as far away as Iraq for oil).

Of course a conservative can't admit Iraq was invaded for oil.

If the US gave a shit about oil, Gaddafi would have been overthrown in 1974.

What the hell.

What would we even do with nuclear weapons? Where would we put them?

Also, you should read the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Apparently, the USA wants to invade Canada and only nuclear weapons and nothing else will save Canada from American oppressors. At least, that's what I've gotten from reading this thread. It's adorable.

On the off-chance that the US were to invade Canada, we'd pretty much be screwed already. Nuclear weapons or not. Our armed forces are quite unimpressive and Harper's blowing all the budget on stupid defence acquisitions like the Joint Shit Fighter.

Plus, I honestly cannot think of a single place that could launch, or even hold, a nuclear warhead.

It's all a bunch of silliness, honestly. Canada is too strong a trade partner for the US to risk damaging the infrastructure of, and such a move would not only cause NATO to implode but alienate almost every remaining partner of the USA. We'll argue about pipelines and fishing rights but that's about it. If anyone else threatens to attack Canada, well, NATO, the Commonwealth, and their southern neighbor say no.

Also, the US would in all likelihood help Canada after a terrorist attack, which is th most likely attack on Canada.

You mentioned in another post that the US went after Iraq for oil, since no one seems to have addressed that, I will. Following the invasion of Iraq, Iraqi oil field production plummeted. Something that should come as no surprise when you consider they were under attack, now that reconstruction has begun in Iraq, most of the oil fields haven't gone to US companies, but British ones, so much for the resource invasion theory...

Well, yeah. I was kind of ignoring purely fictional accounts aside from the OP.

The United States will never invade Canada. Besides , having nuclear weapons doesn't mean no one will ever dare attack you. Israel has nuclear weapons, and it's at war.

Israel is at war with a much less powerful state, though -- that's like saying we would never get involved in a war in Afghanistan/Iraq because we have nuclear strike capabilities. Israel wouldn't fire nukes at Palestine, trust me.

[Pandeeria]

Canada annexed by the US?

Is this the year 2076?

Yeah, except the US invaded Iraq (because they are imperialistic) while Israel was attacked.

That's very true. But my point was that warring nations generally use conventional weapons when they're up against smaller opponents.

[United States of The One Percent]

We would never invade Canada, it's too useful to Us as a hewer of wood and drawer of water. Besides, if things ever get that pear-shaped down here it's more likely that a few States might apply to be Canadian Provinces, especially the colder, more anal-retentive ones like Minnesota and the Dakotas.

You are right. It's just the NS player in me says, "HE SAID SOMETHING SLIGHTLY INACCURATE! DEBATE THE UNHOLY SHIT OUT OF IT!!!!"

While I'm not a big fan of things the US has done, Iraq was invaded because Hussein was gassing and slaughtering Iraqi civilians... Imperialism had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Not Palestine, but if the nations around them ever want to try another round, Israel might be overwhelmed. Egypt, Iraq and Jordan all have US-made equipment, M16s to M1 Tanks. They might be "friendly" now, but governments change their minds, or change completly, often on in that part of the world.

Let us salute the entirety of the Canadian military.
