Also apparently all the troops on the US side are Confederates, while the guy in front is in Union uniform. I’m guessing the prompt specified “Civil War soldiers.”
Meanwhile, budget cuts to the army mean the British forces don’t have a cannon, but they’re still bringing one of the wheels along with them as a morale booster.
I won’t even get into the anachronisms and inconsistencies (the British officer is wearing a uniform from decades later than the redcoats behind him. He also has a flintlock on his belt when he should be solidly into the revolver age).

Covid was the worst pandemic in a hundred years. Its not a coincidence that it happened during Trump's term.
Traditionally, the US does a collective response to nip pandemics in the bud because past administrations understood that viruses don't care about international borders and will spread uncontrollably if not acted upon fast enough in coordination with the relevant countries.
The reason why covid became so bad is that instead of him doing all this, he simply banned flights between china and the US and then went golfing.
Oh that reminds me. He's going to pull the US out of the WHO to ensure that the next time a new virus shows up it will cause a worse pandemic than covid. You voted for this.

Nope. Remind me, when Trump proposed annexing Greenland the last time he was in office, how many studies on the subject were commissioned or bills were passed? As I recall, there were none. Trump loves talking shit, but he hates actual work, so while he was happy to run his mouth about this bullshit, he hasn’t done anything that would actually make it possible. If Trump actually starts seriously pursuing military action to steal Greenland, I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s the last straw that leads to Vance invoking the 25th amendment and putting him out to pasture.
1
u/perringaiden 2d ago
The problem is, "last time" he was surrounded by buffoons, con men and incompetents, and his attempts at anything were tied up in courts for most of his presidency, and then struck down by a finely balanced Supreme Court.
Now his only buffon is Musk, and he's got a whole host of competent legislators on his team, as well as the Supreme Court in his pocket with a writ to do whatever he wants.
Anyone thinking this is "more of 45" is likely going to be horrified in 2 years. Vance is a "billionaires and techbros" puppet, and they actually want US expansionism, because it allows more unfettered access.

If there was hypothetically a hot war with Canada and UK on one side and the US on the other, the US would fold UK and Canada inside of a week
1
u/Professor_Jamie 1d ago
The issue here is that you’re making far too many assumptions. While the US undoubtedly has the numbers, there are countless variables that complicate the notion of an easy victory. For one, logistics alone would present a nightmare. The US relies heavily on the UK to head up strategic operations in joint endeavours, not to mention the billions it spends annually on advanced military technology sourced from British companies.
Beyond that, you seem to overlook the fact that the UK and Canada are geographically and politically entrenched allies with decades of military cooperation, world-class training, and extensive intelligence networks. Claiming a simple US victory feels less like a measured argument and more like a playground boast of “my dad’s bigger than yours”
2
u/BenderTheBlack 1d ago
What assumptions am I making? That the vast majority of Canada’s population hugs the US border and would be relatively easy to occupy? That the US Navy owns the oceans? These are facts.
If the US really wanted to forcibly annex Canada, there would be zero military intervention from Europe, it would just be a lot of crying. Because they understand that any potentially hostile force would never make it close to the eastern seaboard
1
u/Professor_Jamie 1d ago
The assumptions are plain to see—starting with the idea that simply hugging the border makes Canada easy to occupy. The size of Canada’s terrain alone would make it an absolute logistical nightmare, not to mention the fact that Canadians aren’t exactly known for rolling over without a fight. And while the US Navy is powerful, claiming it “owns the oceans” is a bit rich. The Royal Navy, with its state-of-the-art submarines and carriers, is hardly a spectator in these waters, and let’s not forget Canada’s Arctic sovereignty—good luck navigating that.
As for Europe “just crying”—come on, you don’t seriously believe that, do you? The UK and Canada are NATO allies, bound by treaty, and history shows Europe doesn’t exactly sit on the sidelines when it comes to defending its own. The UK alone contributes advanced military technology the US depends on, so upsetting that balance wouldn’t exactly end well.
And the suggestion that no “hostile force” could approach the eastern seaboard? That’s pure Hollywood. In the real world, Europe’s alliances, advanced tech, and intelligence networks would make such a conflict far messier than this one-sided fantasy.
1
u/BenderTheBlack 1d ago
The size of Canada’s terrain is irrelevant. Barely anyone lives there. Don’t need to occupy anything other than the major cities which would be easy.
The US Navy absolutely would dunk on the Royal Navy, our ships our better than theirs and we have a lot more of them.
The Arctic is irrelevant, why would the US need to go there?
The US is not dependent on the UK for military technology or support so that’s completely irrelevant.
History shows that Europeans aren’t even good at defending Europe by themselves much less defending a nation across an ocean full of hostile US Navy vessels
The idea that there would be any real contest for control of the Atlantic betrays your lack of understanding of how things work. Europe is completely unprepared for any war especially one across the Atlantic with the US
1
u/Professor_Jamie 1d ago
It’s bold of you to dismiss the sheer size of Canada as “irrelevant.” Occupying major cities might seem simple on paper, but sustaining control across such an expansive and varied landscape would stretch logistics and manpower to breaking point. Ask anyone who’s studied history: wars aren’t just won on the battlefield—they’re won through supply chains and strategic endurance.
As for the US Navy “dunking” on the Royal Navy, let’s not be so hasty. While the US Navy is larger, the Royal Navy’s cutting-edge capabilities, including Astute-class submarines and Queen Elizabeth-class carriers, make it far from a pushover. And dismissing the Arctic as irrelevant? That’s curious, considering it’s becoming a strategic hotspot with increasing geopolitical competition over resources and trade routes. You might want to rethink that one.
Claiming the US isn’t dependent on the UK for military technology or support is, frankly, laughable. The F-35 jets, for example, are the result of joint development. And the intelligence-sharing partnership of the Five Eyes—where the UK plays a leading role—is critical to US security. The UK isn’t just a minor player; it’s a cornerstone ally.
Now, onto Europe. Suggesting Europeans aren’t good at defending themselves ignores the realities of NATO, which has successfully deterred threats for decades. Also, the idea that the Atlantic would be uncontested is naïve at best. The combined naval forces of NATO, led in part by the UK, wouldn’t exactly sit idly by while the US tried to steamroll its way across.
Your argument boils down to overconfidence in size and dismissing the complexities of modern warfare. Wars aren’t won through sheer bravado or numbers alone; they’re won through alliances, strategy, and technological innovation—all areas where the US wouldn’t have the monopoly you think it does.
1
u/BenderTheBlack 1d ago
Considering how close the major Canadian cities are to the US border, I think you’re vastly overestimating how difficult logistics would be. Canada’s capital is under an hour drive from US territory. We’re no strangers to occupying cities.
UK has a measly 2 carriers, each of which are worse than one of the US’s 10. Astute’s and Virginia’s are roughly comparable but the US has 25 compared to the UKs 8. It’s not even a contest lol.
The arctic is essentially irrelevant to this conversation, if it came into play, the US would in it as it does now.
F-35 is, first and foremost, an American system mostly developed by American countries. If anything, it’s the UK and Europe that is militarily dependent on the US, not the other way around
The reality of NATO is that it is mostly reliant on the US for defense and has been since in conception. Again, NATO’s “navy” is largely the United States’ all of the other member’s combined naval strength wouldn’t come close the US’s. This is a known fact
That fact that I have to break this down for you really betrays the fact that you don’t understand military power or how dependent the EU is on US military strength
1
u/Professor_Jamie 1d ago
Ah, the classic overconfidence in size and firepower—it’s predictable, but let’s break it down. Yes, Canadian cities are close to the US border, but “occupying cities” isn’t the same as controlling a nation. Logistics don’t end at rolling tanks across a border; they include supply lines, managing civilian resistance, and sustaining forces in hostile terrain. Canada’s geography, with its vast wilderness and infrastructure challenges, would turn your “easy occupation” into a logistical quagmire.
As for your obsession with naval numbers, you’re right that the US has more carriers and submarines, but war isn’t Top Trumps. The UK’s two Queen Elizabeth-class carriers are not built to rival the US’s Nimitz-class—they’re part of a broader, highly integrated system that includes Astute-class submarines, Type 45 destroyers, and unmatched intelligence and electronic warfare capabilities. Quantity might win parades, but quality wins battles.
Dismissing the Arctic is short-sighted. It’s a region of growing geopolitical importance, and Canada’s Arctic sovereignty is a critical factor in any defence strategy. The US doesn’t “own” the Arctic—it shares it with allies like Canada and would be far weaker without their cooperation.
On the F-35 point, while it’s true the US played a leading role, the UK was integral to its development and remains the only Tier 1 partner, contributing key technology. Military interdependence works both ways—pretending the US is the sole provider ignores the reality of modern alliances.
And finally, NATO. Yes, the US contributes significantly, but NATO is not just “the US and friends.” The combined forces of NATO allies, especially those of the UK, Germany, and France, provide critical capabilities the US alone cannot replicate. Suggesting the US carries NATO entirely is as inaccurate as it is arrogant.
Your analysis leans heavily on raw numbers, but wars aren’t won on paper. Strategy, alliances, and the ability to adapt matter far more than simplistic headcounts.
How many wars has the US actually won on its own? Not many. The American Revolution? France. World Wars? Allied forces, led in part by the UK and Commonwealth. The Cold War? NATO. On its own? Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan—shall we go on? The “world’s greatest military” tends to shine brightest when it has a team to lean on.

Look up Operation Skyshield. The US asked the UK to conduct simulated nuclear attacks on the US to see if they could stop them as they touted their success rate at 99%.

The US was so embarrassed they covered it up for decades.

I did some digging into the sovereignty matter. Turns out that hypothetically the Royals have the last say. For eg. if parliament/government of Canada or UK under influence of foreign actors would set itself to cease independence and sovereignty to another party, then Crown could intervene and take over the power of state and remove government. As monarchy has constitutional sovereignty and it is last and final resort of power of the state. Traditionally it sits in the back seat, but legally could still claim the power, especially in the UK which doesn't have formal constitution. In situation like that the people could stand against monarchy in case they support government or the parliament but it would have to be act of dissent and revolt. Simply monarchy would have to have enough support on its side to hold the power. Otherwise they could be simply overthrown (happened in the past).

Why are you getting Britain involved in this? Why not France or Spain or any other country? This post is absolutely fascinating to me because it's like, wrong but wrong in a way that requires at least a basic, surface level knowledge of Canada's political structure but not enough to full grasp it.
Canada is completely independent from the UK now in every way. Canada is as independent from the UK as the United States is. If the UK tried to pass a law that impacted Canada, it would have as much force as if Spain did, which is to say absolutely none.
This also isn't just because the powers of the King are ceremonial in nature and exist entirely as a legal fiction because Canadian (and all Westminster-style) parliament is deeply rooted in tradition where you do a lot of stuff just because "we've always done things that way" like how the speaker of the house of commons is dragged kicking and screaming to their chair or how the finance minister always wears a new pair of shoes on budget day or the elaborate ceremonial law they pass at the start of each session that asserts parliament's authority over the crown. Most importantly though, the King of the United Kingdom doesn't have any power in Canada, even ceremonial, instead it's the King of Canada who has those (imaginary) powers. They're different crowns that happen to be held by the same person. Canada could decide to start electing their king or they could make Celine Dion queen for eternity with a simple constitutional amendment that couldn't be stopped or vetoed by the King.

Will never happen.
United States of America is larger and longer than Donald Trump and the Republicans. United states is a country for 1,000 years more and after. We will have to collectively think long term ahead. But at the current situation it appears the current republican administration is only thinking what's going to benefit them, themselves, perosnally in the next 4 years rather than the United States, their citizens, sons, daughters and allies in the next 1,000 years.
Defend Ukraine = Weaking the last European POWERFUL authoritarian regime since hitler..... = killing China's chances of taking over Taiwan... = The collapse of the authoritarian offpsring regimes that rely on Russia/China collapse like Belarus and North Korea... = A more succesful path towards a planet free from authoritarian/dictatorship ideology.

Secret Intel reports somehow get left in a US news desk, classified documents outlining fired 4 star generals who were pushed aside in March 2025.
January 6th transcripts of Trump personally ordering the CIA to burn the capitol building down.
Hunter Biden assassination attempt by Russian operatives as the Trump Admin looked the other way.

Gotta say, I don't think Britain will be the biggest of your worries. I'd be looking at the "Geneva Convention Rule Generator" country itself.

We already had two wars with Britain, and we almost had two more.
Why are we repeating 1800s history???

Defeated by their own army training and tactics is hardly a shame. Especially when the French were putting their finger on the scales behind the scenes.

Technically would be 1-2. They sit 1-1 with us. We destroyed them in 1776 when we gained our independence but we lost at the war of 1812. If there was no Geneva we’d mop the floor with them but because we have to play pattycake the war would go on all of Trump’s presidency plus another 5 years where we’d be kicked out of the UN and NATO and we’d be isolated and completely defeated as a country.

I'd like to clarify this because in my understanding, this prediction means "Britain" will come very close to acknowledging that Canada is not, in fact, independent? Which will piss off the Canadians...

Trump trolling you guys so hard. I voted for trump and he wasn’t being serious about it. Would he if he could? Certainly, but it’s not possible, we’d have to annex it with military. That’s not happening.

u/Sink-Em-Low 17h ago
A US president should be above trolling fellow neighbours (AND ALLIES) about annexing their lands with military force.
And don't say it's to make the Democrats and leftoes cry woke tears for the lolz. He's now a two term US president and ABSOLUTELY should NOT be even doing this.

- Freedom to remove a Prime Minister if they are not performing or a danger to the country/globe.
- Freedom of speech. Yes! The freedom of speech exists. However, The civilised world just doesn't accept freedom from consequences of what you say.

First three, are rights. That is why someone goes to prison when they violate your rights. Currently Canada has a violent crime rate 14% higher than the US.
Livable wages a right in Canada? Tell that to the people living in a van with their children while they work two jobs.
https://homelesshub.ca/blog/2016/how-many-people-experiencing-homelessness-are-employed/
Paid leave in Canada is only a right for medical reasons. Even Mcdonalds in the US offers that.
Yea the Canadian health care system is such a joke that 5% percent of deaths are literally Euthanasia. Health Care so good they'll kill you if youre sick or even just depressed.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0j1z14p57po
We also have a right to vote without threat of violence.
Their right to remove a prime minister hasn't worked out great. Trudeau has a 20% approval rating and has destroyed the country and he will still be in power until march.
Freedom of speech? You can be sentenced to two years in prison for "hate speech" in Canada. Who desides what hate speech is? The Canadian Government. That is not freedom of speech

I'll wait while you go back and read the original comment. But i was were talking about Britain.
Violent crime rate is irrelevant. Canada or Britain, doesn't have daily public mass shootings including school.
Again i was talking about out Britain. But everyone has poor people. Everyone has housing instability. But at least they have a mandate minimum wage. America has far more homeless who can't afford vans and needs to rely on tips.
Also Working two jobs means fck all when you work 5 hours at each job in unskilled employment. Context and facts are important.
The UK has far better mandated working conditions than the US. 4 weeks minimum paid leave. 10 minimum laid sick days + paid long service leave, paid maternity leave, compulsory employer retirement find contributions. All considered "minimum working conditions." Some places offer above that.
- Again, keep up. Britain. The US is the only nation to have "medical bankruptcy". Britain has the NHS. Which similar to Canada and Australia. If you have an accident and go to a hospital, you only out of pocket expense is optional TV rental and your families parking. You're really clutching at straw with the euthanasia champ, that was a weak and mildly irrelevant argument to make.
At least they are choosing end of life care on a free hospital vs. dying at home wishing they could afford to live. That's heaps better???? Wtf is wrong with you?
No one in the developed world has armed people in the carpark of voting booths exercising their right to "open carry"
back to Britain... they removed Truss because she was useless. Australia removed Abbott because he was useless. See our political systems aren't temporary dictatorships, the leader is accountable to the party and the public.
Again you confuse the freedom of speech. - Which is your ability to say something. With the freedom of consequence. - which is being held account for the harm of what you said.

The problem with American freedoms is for all the good there's also the freedom for all the bad shit to happen to you. Crippling medical bills, Floridians being told they don't have the right to clean drinking water, insurance companies that don't do anything, shootings, rampant corruption. I could go on and on.
The only American thing I'd like is the selection of guns, but I'd keep our licensing and training requirements.

It's so crazy watching leftist root for Canada and the UK on these subs. I don't have an opinion on whether Canada should join the US but it is true their lives would become objectively better quickly. Canada has been robbed blind by the current government, people there are using food banks en mass, they are being sanctioned by courts under threat of imprissonment over misgendering people, their immigration has completely fucked the economy and social dynamics.

I am just beginning my work day so I can't spend all day debating, but how good can a society be if 5% of deaths are literally Euthanasia? Not just for the terminally ill but for depressed people who can't find housing. This is literally Nazi levels of disturbing and disgusting.
1
u/MobofDucks 1d ago
Your second source has the 5% number. But that is for all assisted death cases, with an average age of 77 with people not wanting to suffer for some more months from late stage cancer.
Like hotdamn, someone not wanting to live 2 more weeks after cancer spread to all their organs is not nazi stuff.

The gateway drug of killing people who struggle with mental illness

u/MobofDucks 1d ago
So your first argument is that they are euthanizing mentally ill people, now that your sources don't have that info you bring the slippery slope argument?
Giving people a choice in their old age to not suffer every single waking minute, is not a gateway drug to kill the mentally ill. Thank you for wanting your family members to have the most gruesome death possible.
