The Russians can barely even protect the borders they have. Could they wipe us out with a nuclear strike? Sure. Could they even put up a half-hearted invasion attempt? I doubt it. It's not like we even have to defend Alaska, the place they'd be most able to reach...

Aside from the fact that to maintain the illusion of sovereignty we would need to be able to defend our borders from the Americans.
Sort of rediculous, right? Yes, I agree. It is a good thing that things in NA are more advanced than they are anywhere else in the world. Here we have one continent with 3 nations. We all get along, more or less. Too bad not everyone is so blessed.(\__/)

It's the same for small Western Euro nations. They can't defend themselves realistically against the only possible threat...but luckily for them that threat consists of their best friends (at least until the Germans start up trouble again).12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

That's just it Frogger, they no longer have sovereignty. They are *****es of the EU.
Thank some higher power that the US sees us as more useful than Belgium. Cause we can in no way defend ourselves by any way other than being useful, or they actually do respect other countries.(\__/)

Anybody who violated our sovereignty would have to answer a hell of a lot of questions. And if you hadn't noticed, the small EU nations have managed to weasel more than their fair share of power in that organiztion. Belgium isn't the EU's *****; the EU is Belgium's *****...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

So glad you entertain that illusion Frogger. I do not.
Fact is, the minute our government's fixation on healthcare drained our budget too much, and we were not quite cooperative enough in the struggle against terrorism, and our government became a liability in the defence of this continent...
I think there would be 60 states in the union and you would be very unhappy. So would I, just not as unhappy as you, I think.(\__/)

Hah. Not a chance. The US isn't stupid enough, and you know it. We're white, we're industrialised, we're not Germans, therefore nobody can **** with us in that way.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Can you say Canadianization (Finlandization)...
Now, how bad are those bad guys when we are still independent after all these years? I'd say they are rather harmless if they do not feel threatened.(\__/)

“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)Comment

It would be nice if we could defend our borders today, but we cannot. We depend on the good will of the USofA for our continued illusion of sovereignty. Too bad, so sad, but your compatriots do not seem to want to vote for anything else...
Illusion? Why is it an illusion? Do we not set our own laws and policies that often run counter to what the Americans want and do?
How would a different vote change anything?
You seem to acknowledge that Canada does not have the resources to stop an American invasion. Or do you think that with a different government, we could create a military capable of stopping the Americans?Golfing since 67Comment
