I wonder how many countries would get annexed before somebody realizes that it's not exactly the most effective method to combat inflation

oh for fucks sake, now i suddenly remember how the timeline in the fallout franchise included the US annexing canada...

yep. we're in the darkest timeline.

Yeah, but thats only after China invaded.
- China invaded Alaska, so the US forcibly annexed Canada because they wouldn't let troops cross the land border due to natural resource disputes. With the exception of "oops, no transistors", the prewar geopolitical fallout lore is ~~extremely~~ somewhat realistic
  
  Edit: I haven't thought about the lore in a long time, it's less realistic than I remember. However the progression of the resource wars is very solid
- Yeah, about that...

Two Ohios, this truly is the darkest timeline :(

If Americans try it, they better be ready for the snow banks to talk. I will die before I become an American

Michigan sends its regards, they have an snowplow to grind and they just might indulge you maple syrup drinking leaf bastards!

...do I really need the /s?
- Not in this community you don't. :)
- New Upper Michigan

Kill imperialist aggressors. Has Daddy Putin taught Diaperload Donnie nothing? The war in Ukraine demonstrates how a small nation can bloody the nose of a so-called superpower. Herr Drumpf must realize this is not fiction. So after Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq (twice) hasn't America learned ANYTHING?

I don't think Canada could do much of anything to stop a US invasion. OTOH, I don't think America could do anything to stop Canadian guerillas after an invasion.

Imagine trying to stop a population that is essentially indistinguishable from your own citizens, in a country where your own citizens are allowed to walk around carrying essentially the same rifles used by the armed forces. And that's not even considering that probably half the US would be on the side of the guerillas.
- As a gorilla, they could do nothing to stop me.

Nah man one Ohio to the south of me is enough. We don't need a second.

It's not a second, it's a different thing. North Carolina is a different thing from South Carolina. We'll be North Ohio. And what we used to call Northern Ontario, we'll call New North Ohio.

It's Army chow, the eggs are free! How much cheaper do you want them to be?

Well your chicken now gives you twices as much eggs and you get 2 caps per egg instead of 3$ per egg, so inflation got owned

Because we are going to pillage Canada for everything they have to reward trumps voter base

But then you'll add a bunch of left-leaning citizens to the voter pool, which screws the Republicans in the long run.

You know what, this is starting to sound like a less bad idea
- They keep saying "51st state", which implies Canada will only be a single state under the electoral college, and thus will be shafted just like California.
- Bold to assume we'd have another election for that to matter
  
  Or that the democrats won't snatch defeat from the jaws of victory again.
- At absolute best Canada will be a territory, but that will still be "bad" since it means that people born here will be US citizens and have freedom of movement. Much more likely that we'll end up with an Israel-Palestine type scenario where they just gradually violently displace Canadians off of any resources they want, starve us literally and economically with embargos, assassinate any non-extremist political leadership, and enslave us

I would certainly vote for Trudeau for POTUS in 2028

How're ya now?

lol the McDonald's sign on fire
