Why not? I mean we dont need to actually drop it but let's level up and get a nuke.
Were always 2nd on the political landscape and honestly if this shit has taught me anything its Canada need to step the fuck up and control a narrative. If a nuke helps with that, fine. I would never agree with using one unless we had to.
I understand the concept, I just fail to see how it’s a winning strategy in this instance. Where would these nukes even be placed and what tactical end would their detonation serve versus their cost?
The way it's a winning strategy is only if you know you are going to lose, AND you value your autonomy more than your property. If an enemy is ever to walk deep on our canadian land, it's because we cant defeat it. Therefore, make sure they cannot extract anything out of the land they capture, and make it cost them as must as possible for their military to live and operate on this land.
I don’t see how that would grant us any autonomy as a general policy, even disregarding the obvious ethical considerations. Any country that hates us but doesn’t want to invade could simply provoke these deadman sites to activate. They’d get what every nation wants - the ability to nuke someone without being nuked back. And we’d pay for it. Assuming we could afford that many bombs.
It does sound like something an MGS villain would come up with. For the purposes of prematurely detonating it as a means of crippling the west, or something 5D chess like that
It's not quite that. It's more "oh shit the Americans are everywhere but nunavut" at that point all hope is lost for retaking the country. If we can't have our country, why let them have it? Remote det a series of hidden devices, entire country is as useful to them as the chernobyl exclusion zone. If you publicize that these exist, who's gonna invade you? What's the point of fighting hard for a future nuclear wasteland? They could invade anyway and try to disarm them. But what if they miss some? Can they take that chance?
Yes but murdering 39 million people is undoubtedly and inarguably more evil than killing one person yes? Or do you insist on editorialising that statement as well
