Which is the point one poster above missed (not surprised) and is just one reason why many levelheaded and intelligent Americans want a secure border and vetted immigration.
Could the U.S. withstand a 2 pronged invasion by Canada and Mexico?
- Thread starter Robcatt24
- Start date
They could do it it w/o even getting the military involved. LOL
Hell, Texas alone would WILLINGLY enjoy the "sport"
It's practically their wet dream.
On a serious note, it wouldn't last a fortnight.
the US is essentially impervious to ground invasion, PERIOD. By anyone.

Here is an apt analogy.
Dodge ball -
The US = the 10 best male varsity athletes at the HS
Canada and Mexico = the 10 fattest girls at the HS

Maybe we finally get the water owed from Mexico instead of permitting Mexico welch on its agreement.
Your ammo will dry rot during the wait.
Yeah, he acts like Mexico is soviet Russia and Canada is the allies of ww2 and we are Germany facing a 2 front war. Not the same thing lol.
Abraham Lincoln said, “All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide”.
The Mexican drug cartels could pull off some awful terrorist stuff if they wanted to, but I think the quote above is still true militarily.

Crazy that someone could be so ignorant that they don't see the difference between an armed conflict versus migration. Sadly however I am not surprised.
It would have taken Japan a few more months to build that 3rd bomb to take out the mountain folks.

From what I've read, Mex has 9 of these F-5 aircraft. That doesn't seem right. Maybe @HymanKaplan has more knowledge of what Mex actually has. I figured they'd at least have some have some F-16's.
Those have been retired. As of now, The Pilatus PC-9 is the primary "attack" aircraft of the Mexican Air Force.
I'm completely serious...

After doing a little research, I think there's enough aircraft at Bowman Field in Louisville to take out the Mex AF.Those have been retired. As of now, The Pilatus PC-9 is the primary "attack" aircraft of the Mexican Air Force.

Hall Monitor: 19 hijackers changed America forever, killing nearly 3,000 people.
Also Hall Monitor: Why are you complaining about a wide open border that lets in millions of illegals?
Pretty sure a group of 11 year olds with green laser pointers from Temu could take those down.Those have been retired. As of now, The Pilatus PC-9 is the primary "attack" aircraft of the Mexican Air Force.

Here is how other countries could destroy us.
I have been out the news loop recently. I understand the animosity towards Mexico.
Why are we beefing with Canada again? Seems dumb.

Well them and Greenland were busy minding their own business and we just can’t have that now can we?
Because Canada is weird, too big for their britches, and doesn't want us to tariff their stuff.
I read a few weeks ago that a certain Canadian politician had proposed a ban on all products from States that voted for Trump, and who had a Republican Governor. I thought that was cool how it was worded specifically so they could still get Kentucky bourbon. I don't think it was passed.
If allowing fentanyl labs to ship directly to US and allowing known terrorist watch list people to cross the border with no notification is "minding their own business".... glad we aren't neighbors. LoL
For Japan, it’s a negotiating point, but I think Japan will be a good partner at the negotiating table. The many other factors being what they are.
I can’t say I’d blame them.
I had no idea about the 51st state thing until about 10 minutes ago. Of all the fish to be frying, this certainly is a dumb one.
Yes, it's strange how Japan is probably our second closest ally now to Great Britian. There are Japanese people still alive that were alive when we dropped the bombs.
There are a handful here who were alive during the war, too. And, yet, Germany, Italy, and Japan are allies. Yup.
The 51st state thing is taken way out of context. Trudeau ran with it because Canada's economy is tanking and has been for over 5 years. He had to find someone to blame. Trump told Trudeau that if he couldn't exist without ripping off the US then maybe he should just become a state. Somehow that got spun into us invading them...
No sane person thinks we will invade Canada. Trump is trolling Canada, with a smidgeon of possibility. I love the geography of Canada and some of its cities are fun to visit, but I would not want their attitude. We have that in Cali already. Don’t need more.
No ****. These scenarios assume we would not see them moving troops to the border and, if we chose, dispose of that nonsense post haste.
-the real issue(for me) is trade deficit... they've been going in raw since the Clinton administration. Needs to be balanced out.
^ that said I love Canada. Montreal/QC is an amazing trip, as is Vancouver and BC in general. May hit New Brunswick this summer.
Add CA and it would be a four pronged attack.If you make it 3 pronged and throw in Cuba... IDK.
Just did a quick check...according to Wiki:
Canada has 74 Leopard Main Battle Tanks (MBT's)
Mexico wasn't listed but when I did other internet searches, it looks like Mex doesn't have any MBT's
United States has 2509 M1A1 or M1A2 MBT's. Granted, a lot of those are overseas.
So, in this hypothetical scenario of the US vs the MexCan's... a ground war doesn't appear to be a very good option for the MexCan's.

Mexicos ground forces would be like the African people fighting Italian tanks n the mid 1930s with spears and sticks and rocks.
Mexico does have one thing n common with the soviet army of ww2 I mentioned earlier n the thread. A lot of cannon fodder.
You make a Vietnam analogy in one post, but its not relevant bc we are more like them in the sense we know our own terrain, and b, our entire populace is armed...then add on top our military.
The question is how nato would play out as both us and Canada are nato countries...I'd say we win out bc everyone wants our $$$$. Besides Canada will fold, tgen good luck to Mexico, i guess. Cool strawman about illegal criminals crossing the border tho.
One carrier battle group can defeat 95% of the countries on this planet.
Sleep well man. No worries.
