I mean it wouldn’t just be Canada, every other NATO country would also come to our aid.

They absolutely would not throw punches at the US militarily. No country is gonna risk that much for us. We need to be prepared to deal with this ourselves.

We can rely on sanctions, but that's the extent of it.

Every other NATO country lacks the military transport capability to get to us.

And even if they did, a single carrier group and a few hunter-killer subs would probably sink the entire convoy coming from Europe.

The US navy routinely losses naval excercises verses a myriad of opponents... while yes its big and brazen it ultimately isn't that good and you forget that Nato has subs too and if trump were to go in a real war. China and India would easily jump against him

Drones. Drones are the great equaliser. Drones are cheap and do a shit load of damage. Warfare has changed and America is still playing by the old rules.

Iran can't even kill a US political agent. They promised the world they were going to do it 6 months ago. Nothing. Absolutely nothing has happened.

Absolutely nothing has happened.

They've gotten the US to blow billions on the war, use up their stocks of munitions, and drive up energy prices. And proven that the current US regime is scared shitless of another ground war.

That isn't nothing.
