How long and how easily could the U.S. conquer Canada militarily?

5. From there, we'd launch a naval-assault on Greenland and take it over.

BluRayHiDef

You do realise that Greenland belongs to Denmark right ? So you'll basically start WO III.

I've noticed you making a thread about implying to join the military, and now you're interested in conquering Canada.
What you plotting son ???

Denmark would be no match for the U.S.. If any of its allies threaten to get involved, the U.S. could simply threaten to use nuclear weapons, which is something that nobody wants because it would lead to world destruction. So, it would either be that everyone dies, or that the U.S. is allowed to conquer Greenland. As for joining the military, my plan is the following:

1. Enlist in the Marine Corps.

2. Rank up to the highest rank, which is the Commandant.

3. Use mercenaries from Canada and Greenland to frame each government of each country for being complicit in terrorist attacks on the U.S.

4. Use the false allegations of complicitiy as a pretext for advising the U.S. government that its in the U.S.'s best interest to attack and overtake both countries.

5. As commandant, I would advise that its best for the Marine Corps to lead the assault and use Canada as a base exclusively for the U.S. Marines.

6. I'd rename Canada to "Supreme Fort of the United States of America".

7. The army could have Greenland.

I think I want to leave Canada where it is. But if we must invade, let's burn down the White House first to prevent them from claiming any future bragging rights.

That's putting the lessons of history to good use.

Did you not consider the choices it would come down to? The U.S. could simply threaten to use nuclear weapons, which means that any country that wants to get involved would have two choices:

1. Get involved, which would prompt the U.S. to use nuclear weapons, triggering nuclear retaliation from opposing countries which would screw EVERYBODY.

2. Not get involved, avoid a worldwide nuclear catastrophe, and let the U.S. conquer Greenland.

You have a really warped view of reality.

So by following your logic:

Let's say the Russians demand Alaska or else they will nuke America.
You have two choices here America:
-Either you give up Alaska
-Or plunge the entire world in a nuclear abyss.

The crazy logic of a madman.

I think I want to leave Canada where it is. But if we must invade, let's burn down the White House first to prevent them from claiming any future bragging rights.

That's putting the lessons of history to good use.

There would be sanctions from the EU killing the US economy. The army of Canada is the best trained in the world just too bad theres not that many of them and Canadas a rather larger place

Well if you went for all out annihaltion then I think not very long if it was a supprise attack. However if you check out your countries ability to wipe out the taliban and lets not forget veitnam... america seems pretty poor for attacking countries. I would say america is more of a defensive power house than attacking.

Non-seriously:

We Canadians can fire hockey pucks at the same rate of speed as your guns can fire bullets. And hockey pucks are a lot bigger. One shot can easily take out a few soldiers. Not to mention, the hair on a Canadian man's burly chest is easily sufficient enough to stop a 12-gauge round at 'pitch-forking' distance.

Seriously:

It's possible. USA could take over Canada, but it really wouldn't be worth it.Canada's land mass is probably twice the size of USA and our populace is very wide spread. You could try carpet bombing our cities I guess. I'm not sure how effective that would be. Expensive though.

But even if you got through Southern Ontario, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal there are still Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Northern parts of all provinces, and the Maritime provinces to take over (the US would have to wait until winter to get up there by land). The further north the US pushes the harder it gets. Many deaths will be a result of nature (freezing/frostbite). Not to mention, there is very little in the way of transportation routes to travel up to those places, and by foot is certainly not advisable. Ask the Nazi's how the invasion of Russia went because even Russians complain about the cold in cities like Edmonton.

And our millitary may be like 1/10 the size of the American military, but that doesn't mean civilians don't know what guns are and how to operate them.

Anyway, some other tidbits; USA invades and Canada cuts off your main source of oil. No oil, no fuel means invasion has to be mostly by land. That's a near impossible task, even for a milatary of USA's size. The size of Canada really works against an American invasion.

We could probably get quite a few allies together to help us out. Probably not enough to defeat the US military, but probably enough to suppress it into a stalemate.

Unless you nuke the poop out of Canada there is no way. And even so, you nuke Canada and you open the flood gates for everyone else to use nukes. Afghanistan and Pakistan will nuke each other. Cuba will nuke USA, North Korea will nuke everyone, Japan would probably nuke USA - maybe, China, Libya, Iran, Iraq, who knows?

The US would have to start fighting itself, as it pays more for Canada's military defence than the Canadians do.

It's not like we would just stand out in the open and be like "hey, we're the Canadian army, shoot at us" If America even tried to bomb Canada, UK and about the rest of the world would bomb the crap out of America and btw Russia has way more nukes then America.

I dont see a problem. We'd just be fighting hordes of moose and red shirted mounties anyway. >.>

I hope that's sarcasm.

Americans seem to know little about their own country, let alone anything about Canada. Apparently all Canadians drink beer, hunt moose, our police force is composed of mounties, it's cold, and we still hangout with Brits.

Canada is a completely independent nation first of all, has it's own constitution and severed virtually all ties with Great Britain since 1982.

Vancouver, where I am from, is more of a metropolitan area than most U.S. cities and it rarely snows, if at all.

Contary to popular belief, red shirted mounties are rare. We have an atypical police force just like our American counterparts.

Our military has been fighting in Afghanistan since 9/11.

We don't say eh, at the end of every sentence. And personally, I've never seen a moose. Although, I really do hope to see one.

Canada is not in a recession, and our dollar has been consistently up to and above par with the American dollar.

Lastly, aside from the Americans showing up late in both world wars, the Americans haven't won a war in what... over a 100 years?

And although the American military is significantly larger than the Canadian military (population alone is 10x more), most of the world hates Americans and loves Canadians. So if there Americans were to invade, the rest of the world would show up. And if you guys can't beat a bunch of farmers in the desert, how do you expect to beat fully functioning militaries?

No, it was basically a separate theatre.

Yes, there are usually allies in war, but the point was that the US has never won a war by itself (let alone in the last 100 years) - unlike many other countries.
