    The usa thought the insurgency was bad in Afghanistan, wait until they see what the combo of the largest undefended boarder, a people with a very similar look and culture (at least for language) and oh yeah a unpopular occupation of the country that has had more entries added into the Geneva conventions then any other nation.

    Yeah, and about those nukes in shared sites on Canadian land, all isolated and infamously under defended…

      it’s a similar situation that Ukrainians have right now, as many eastern Ukrainians speak russian natively, and with similar accent to Russians from south (Krasnodar, Kursk etc), so they blend right in, but this doesn’t work in opposite direction. i’m not sure if they’re taking advantage of it in behind enemy lines activities, as some of sabotage is ascribed to local resistance organizations

        100% they are. Think of how the USA would deal with even a fraction the damage and casualties Ukraine has inflicted so far.

        Diversity in that it will be Canadians proper rather than Brits along with any and all who wish to participate.

        Equality in that the US should receive what it has given and what it threatens.

        Inclusion in that everyone is welcome to the bonfire. To paraphrase some fuckwad, ‘be there, it’ll be wild’.

    I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

    If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well…

    Whoa there your choices are snow, jungle, desert, or Arctic ice if you join the US side. Come on how many wars do you get to choose which server environment to play on? And if we do really good we can get the DLC level European Island Country! They say that one will feature the Navy more prominently.

    To be sure

    spoiler

    St Patrick Battalion

    My name is John Riley
    I’ll have your ear only a while
    I left my dear home in Ireland
    It was death, starvation or exile
    And when I got to America
    It was my duty to go
    Enter the Army and slog across Texas
    To join in the war against Mexico

    It was there in the pueblos and hillsides
    That I saw the mistake I had made
    Part of a conquering army
    With the morals of a bayonet blade
    So in the midst of these poor, dying Catholics
    Screaming children, the burning stench of it all
    Myself and two hundred Irishmen
    Decided to rise to the call

    From Dublin City to San Diego
    We witnessed freedom denied
    So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side,
    We formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side

    We marched 'neath the green flag of Saint Patrick
    Emblazoned with “Erin Go Bragh”
    Bright with the harp and the shamrock
    And “Libertad para Mexicana”
    Just fifty years after Wolftone
    Five thousand miles away
    The Yanks called us a Legion of Strangers
    And they can talk as they may

    But from Dublin City to San Diego
    We witnessed freedom denied
    So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side,
    We formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side

    We fought them in Matamoros
    While their volunteers were raping the nuns
    In Monterey and Cerro Gordo
    We fought on as Ireland’s sons
    We were the red-headed fighters for freedom
    Amidst these brown-skinned women and men
    Side by side we fought against tyranny
    And I daresay we’d do it again

    From Dublin City to San Diego
    We witnessed freedom denied
    So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side,
    We formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side

    We fought them in five major battles
    Churobusco was the last
    Overwhelmed by the cannons from Boston
    We fell after each mortar blast
    Most of us died on that hillside
    In the service of the Mexican state
    So far from our occupied homeland
    We were heroes and victims of fate

    From Dublin City to San Diego
    We witnessed freedom denied
    So we formed the Saint Patrick Battalion
    And we fought on the Mexican side

    Let’s not joke hear CA doesn’t stand a chance. They’ve no nukes. They lack economic power. And they don’t have a cultural identity beyond “hey we aren’t America”. The last thing Canada wants is to fight a global super power.
