You guys actually think there is a legitimate chance the US will use military force on us?
That seems so out of this world to me. What would be the justifiable rationale that would have other global leaders be like, "well Canada had it coming
"
You think we'd be on our to fight back?
I'm not as tapped into the geopolitical discourse here
Yes! its like the tarriffs at first i thought it was a joke but as you can see its going to happen. Trump is crazy
just read this and put in canada where it says poland and us where it says germany
While some dissident elements within the
Weimar Republic had long sought to annex territories belonging to Poland, it was Hitler's own idea and not a realization of any pre-1933 Weimar plans to invade and partition Poland,
[23] annex
Bohemia and Austria, and create
satellite or
puppet states economically subordinate to Germany.
[24] As part of this long-term policy, Hitler at first pursued a policy of
rapprochement with Poland, trying to improve opinion in Germany, culminating in the
German–Polish Non-Aggression Pact of 1934.
[25] Earlier, Hitler's foreign policy worked to weaken
ties between Poland and France and attempted to manoeuvre Poland into the
Anti-Comintern Pact, forming a cooperative front against the
Soviet Union.
[25][26] Poland would be granted territory to its northeast in
Ukraine and
Belarus if it agreed to wage war against the Soviet Union, but the concessions the Poles were expected to make meant that their homeland would become largely dependent on Germany, functioning as little more than a
client state. The Poles feared that their independence would eventually be threatened altogether;
[26] historically Hitler had already denounced the right of Poland to independence in 1930, writing that Poles and Czechs were a "rabble not worth a penny more than the inhabitants of Sudan or India. How can they demand the rights of independent states?"

The population of the
Free City of Danzig was strongly in favour of annexation by Germany, as were many of the ethnic German inhabitants of the Polish territory that separated the German
exclave of
East Prussia from the rest of the Reich.
[28] The
Polish Corridor constituted land long disputed by Poland and Germany, and was inhabited by a
Polish majority. The Corridor had become a part of Poland after the
Treaty of Versailles. Many Germans also wanted the urban port city of Danzig and its environs (comprising the Free City of Danzig) to be reincorporated into Germany. Danzig city had a
German majority,
[29] and had been separated from Germany after Versailles and made into the nominally independent Free City. Hitler sought to use this as
casus belli, a reason for war, reverse the post-1918 territorial losses, and on many occasions had appealed to
German nationalism, promising to "liberate" the
German minority still in the Corridor, as well as Danzig.
