Why not? UK and Canada and in fact Canada and France have huge ties. This could be a mutually beneficial arrangement for sure.

China proved that you don’t need that many nukes to have a deterrence. For as long as in theory if you shot all your nukes towards a few cities and you could guarantee that those got hit – you have nuclear deterrence.
Like, yeah. USA would turn Europe into ash and glass, but if that comes with the cost of losing New York, Miami and Atlanta, then that for sure is much more of a deterrence than the usual “Strongly worded letter from EU.”
Difference between “no nukes” and “some nukes” is huge.

A commonwealth Defence Pact should be offered to Canada, Australia and New Zealand that officially extends the British nuclear umbrella to them.

As a Canadian, we need to do something and fast. We need true support from our real friends, too. The enemy is literally on our front…and back door. The new Axis of Russia and the USA have us surrounded. If they erase Canada, Europe is next.

The French nuclear shield could be expanded to include Canada. The UK particularly has an obligation to ensure the security and sovereignty of Canada. All this âjokingâ of making Canada the 51st state shouldnât be treated so lightly.
I worry what may be said at tonightâs State of the Union, especially since Trump just announced a huge crackdown on any colleges that allow âillegalâ protests and the imprisonment/deportation of instigators. Canada needs to shore up its security ASAP.

One and a half months of Trump’s presidency and Canada is trying to get nukes.
I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. America sure is “great” lately.
Wonder how many nations are gonna be breaking the non proliferation agreements in the near future.

The British atomic bomb project, Tube Alloys, really kicked off at a Canadian lab (in 1942, before the Manhattan Project)
Canadian here – yes pls. Just extend the umbrella for a few months while we make our own (we have the capacity/abilities to do so with assistance from the UK or France).
We’re now entering the age of Nuclear Proliferation. Things are about to get really fucking weird.
Zealousideal_Ear9156 on
Just that the UK nuclear weapon relies on American technology.
I’m not sure if America has a kill switch function or something like that, but I’m also not going to deny it. The F-35 could also have that.
As for France, I’m not sure. Macron would support Canada, but it’s also another shitty situation next to the ongoing one.
Threatening a country like the US, the largest military in the world, with the ongoing NATO issues and everything, could face political backlash.
Also, the US still has their nuclear weapons on Germany and other bases all around Europe.
Would be quite… Well, you know, it’s not effective if you look from it from a different perspective.
A threat like that wouldn’t work, and the US can not leave the Nato as well, per Congress, as it requires 2/3 of the majority for it.
Also, nobody can kick the US out. They’re also basically in charge of everything. NATO commander is always an American.
NATO, under the premise to protect us, could also become our very own threat.
Jesus… What a messed up timeline.

That Canada is seen as needing nuclear deterrent to protect from Trump should be seen as a wake up call to the US populace. Yâall should Serbia smoke bomb the SOTU.
BadgerPhil on
It seems to me that the U.K. should lease a trident sub with nukes to Canada at cost price.
The deal says Canada can press the button on any aggressor without U.K. approval. The other part of the deal is that should the U.K. ever press the button that Canada joins us.
This way Canada is safe and the U.K. has the same coverage for less cost.

Taking trumps rambling on Canada this seriously is insane.

Yes!!! As a Canadian I don’t want to be conquered and added to the axis of evil war machine. The US is going to have a difficult time surviving on its own but if they enslave/stripmine canada and turn mexico into forced labour farms, the world will have a much bigger problem on their hands.

Just look at Israel, North Korea, Russia or Pakistan. No one dares to attack them for the simple reason that they have nuclear bombs. Canada has no choice, its army is no match, only a powerful deterrent force will work in our favor. And we must establish laws like France indicating that we will not hesitate for a second to use them, that we would rather annihilate the north of the continent than live under a dictatorship of mentally retarded people who believe that the earth is flat.

Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0?
Yea no wonder đ
The world is broken.
Hope it will be fixed soon.
The UK has enough Plutonium for everybody and the French make their own ICBMs/submarines. They accept cheque or credit card.
Just for shits and giggles, and the Canadians will probably agree this is to fun to pass up on.
We put them in Greenland.
(Seriously I’m not a big fan of poking other nuclear capable nations, they should be only a deterrence, I lived through one Cold War, that was enough)
I’m open to defend QuĂ©bec for free.
