The conversations that I have in person with Canadians are very similar to the conversations that I used to have with the French Special Forces in France, we all agree that their countries are weak and liberal.
No one seems to be talking about the claim that a nation could shutdown it’s military for a year, what is the truth about that?

Jeez, that’s a new one on me. Hadn’t heard about that, and I sure hope it isn’t true: if it is, there would be no better time for America to realize its Manifest Destiny to become a continental power.
A country without a military is not a country at all. Aside from good manners there would be nothing to stop the US from annexing the Canadian provinces outright — save only our Mounties, and I doubt there is enough room in all the lockups in Canada to hold even one US Division.
I have often speculated that the annexation of Canada by the US would happen in my lifetime. I hadn’t thought it might happen quite so soon.
