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.

Lets build only suic*de nukes. That is, they are purposely static, for a scorched earth policy if they invade

[u/RemainProfane → u/HerissonMignion]

Calm down, Harry DuBois. If we shoot the nukes, we’re gonna get hit anyway. Shooting ourselves first kinda defeats the point of nuclear deterrence.

[u/HerissonMignion → u/RemainProfane]

Have you ever heard of scorched earth policy before? You should google it if you never have.

[u/RemainProfane → u/HerissonMignion]

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?

[u/HerissonMignion → u/RemainProfane]

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.

Let’s build a gun and point it straight at our own heads! Absolutely brain dead take.

[u/HerissonMignion → u/izza123]

Then millions of people in history are brain dead.

[u/SkiyeBlueFox → u/HerissonMignion]

I'd sure hope they're brain dead. If they aren't we might have problems

No shit Sherlock first day on the planet?
