No stupid question… it seems Trump is ready to invade (military) Panama and Greenland (red white blueland), so even if with Canada he always talk about economic war and annexing Canada blablabla…

What would happen if USA invades Canada? What would be the reaction of the Canada King (Charles III is the king of Canada)? The Commonwealth? NATO?

    I would expect an invasion order to be a breaking point that causes US political collapse and possibly a civil war.

    The military brass might very well break the chain of command and refuse to follow an order to invade Canada. While I think that would be the right move, it would be a major constitutional crisis and there is no resolution that would not send one political faction or another completely off the rails.

        Agreed. But it’s a slow-rolling one so far. I think defiance of an order of war would boil over a bit faster.
