Do u believe that Canada can beat the US in a war ? 🪖

A guy at work tried to tell me that they actually can. He claimed that since we lost our power and associations with NATO and the UN that would be our main issue. And he also added that our allies would not assist us in a ground or air type combat simply because Canada is not really a world threat and that they are our neighbors. He said something about a missile that they have that could disappear and reappear at will. Im thinking to myself, this guy clearly does not know about our secret operations programs. And our underground unit in Area 51.
I heard that they have some stuff there that could wipe any country off the map with ease. And that coming from a military guy I know here on the water. Anyway, what do you think. Could Canada really beat the US in an all out war. Any style. Comments please.
Let the chips fall where they may. Best answer wins. ☺

The NATO treaty does not activate commitments when a member is a starting belligerent.
That said the US would not invade Canada. Its not worth it and would have no support.

For hypothetical deathmatch purposes:
Militarily, Canada is no match for the US
The state of Wisconsin puts more armed people in the woods during deer season than Canada has ground pounders. (791,023 vs 106,700 for Canada). Not a straight up match since its comparing prime age military, reserves, and rangers with a bunch of civilians but gives an idea of the disparity in strength

@Arnoldjrmmer I agree. One branch of military here in the US can take Canada.

@Arnoldjrmmer Taking and holding are two very different things. And the USA sucks at fighting insurgencies.

Plus. for Americans their idea of "cold weather fighting" is 2 inches of snow and 0 C.

You guys dress for an arctic expedition to go to Sundance Film Festival. 😂

You're forgetting that Canada controls the oil, the fresh water and the electricity that flows into the USA, Zonuss. Turning off even one utility on the Canadian side will hold the USA hostage to Canada. Turning off all 3 will completely collapse the US economy in less than one week.

I'll bet you didn't know any of that, did you! 🇨🇦

@swirlie We are also the mining capital of the world. The Pentagon literally invests in Canadian mines because that is where all your uranium comes from.....and most of your aluminum...etc.

But it was MY government's uranium and aluminum to begin with! 🇨🇦

@swirlie I am Canadian. I am pointing out that even the US aerospace industry, and even their nukes are entirely dependent on us.

Yes, I know you're Canadian! I can smell the burnt maple syrup sizzling on the top of your wood stove right through my computer screen... 🤷🏼‍♀

What the USA doesn't teach any of their citizens is that it is the USA who owes a debt of "THANKS" to Canada for keeping their country afloat, not the other way around, though there isn't an American out there who knows anything about that.

What Americans also need to be grateful to Canada for is that Canada supplied and manufactured ALL the ammunition that was ever used by the US military during WWII, the Vietnam War and the war in Afghanistan because the resources required to make those munitions are found in Canada, not the USA.

I should also point out that the USA never paid Canada a single dime for any of those munitions which Canada still supplies the USA with for the Ukraine War, none of which the US government will even acknowledge to the world that it's not the USA who's having trouble keeping the Ukraine Army supplied with ammunition, it is Canada who's been working overtime to meet those demands.

The very last thing you'll ever hear from an American is the truth, even if they know it. 🇨🇦
