This isn't a f***ing Paradox game man. There is no real life mechanic preventing an invasion without a proper cases belli.

This would absolutely trigger NATO's mutual defense clause though. The US military absolutely does not have the capacity to invade and occupy a landscape the size of Canada for any prolonged period of time. We couldn't manage it in Vietnam, we couldn't do it in Afghanistan, and we didn't really do it in Iraq. And those were places that had a sizeable contingent of people who were happy with us being there because of the crimes of the previous regimes.
No fucking shit. And in real life, if you just decide to invade without justification, people don't do dick all about it. Casus Bellis aren't video games mechanics. If the USA invaded Canada, there is literally no claim to anything. Trump has literally said "we are putting tariffs on you and if you want them to stop be absorbed into the US." There is no claim to any validity to their words. Even fucking Russia Made a proper claim before it tried to invade even if it was flimsy as shit.

Having an unhinged rant doesn't make you right.
