The U.S. has never lost a War either, only the Vietnam conflict half way around the world that posed no threat to the United States mainland. Russia had its Afghanistan problems in the 1980's.
It could be stated accurately that the U.S. played the biggest part in winning WW2 (tied with Russia). Keep in mind the Pacific theatre as well.
Also, American rebels won the Revolutionary War, they weren't technically a U.S. yet, but Independence had been declared.
The United States won against the Confederate States in the Civil War.
Oh, and yes, the United States (principally) has beaten Iraq.
Canada would fail as miserably as the US when they attempted to invade them 200 years earlier. Mexico? *laughs*

Nice propaganda.The u.s is invincible!!! So was every other great empire across history. The u.s will eventually fall, but it won't be because of an invasion from Canada.
Canada and what army? The Princess Patricia Light Infantry? Please. The US would curbstomp both of them. And then Mexico would probably be taken over by the drug cartels their military is BARELY beating.

So Canada + 5,000 royal marines. Man, those odds don't look good at all.
i think Mexico would prove much more difficult to fight and hold down then Canada.
I always get the impression that between modern day Canada and modern day USA, that like Canada would be taken over in like a weekend. Everything that matters is like within 100 miles of the US-Canadian border, the rest of the country is the frontier.
and i have hard time imagining every day Canadians going into the woods to wage guerrilla war. Can totally see Mexicans though doing this and perhaps doing it very well.
this thread reminded me of this movie. Canadian Bacon. fvcking love that movie :P

I wonder if Guerrilla tactics would beat modern America.I could see them both taking over a few northern and southwestern (not Texas though) states but thanks to our huge military and the 2nd amendment, I don't think they will go farther than that. Some posters here seem to be really underestimating them both.
Of course, never going to be happen. All of them are allies and nobody would gain anything out of it.

I think geographical location would be more of a variable.
If Castro did it to Batista, and if the rebels can do it to Qadaffi, I'm sure a 3rd world nation could do it to America.
I know Castro took the highest parts of the island of Cuba, and would go from the top to the bottom to where he could ultimately walk into Havana.
The rebels I know would ambush Qadaffi soldiers, and steal their equipment(tanks, anti aircraft guns, etc..)

gave into political pressure. except all major war objectives for the Vietnam war were not met, so in a sense after a long protracted war in the jungle and massive bombing campaigns. yes lost. nevermind the ally the US was supposed to be supporting (i mean propping up) collapsed.This is like saying Russia didn't lose world war 1 because it withdrew from the war because of at-home political pressure to end it (The Communists who took over the country in this case infact had popular support to end the war). Despite not only taking heavy losses, and not meeting war objectives but also losing territory.
the Vietnam war was a loss, blame it on political pressure if you want, but it is considered a loss.

these days? c'mon man, your talking almost 25 years after the fall of Western communism, never mind 38 years after the end of the Vietnam war as far as America was concerned. In the middle of the cold war people did indeed have to keep in mind the 'domino theory'. We were still seeing communist rebel groups trying to take over Latin American countries for God's sake in the 80's. Laos today is a single-party socialist republic led by the Marxist-Leninst party, Cambodia has the Khemer Rouge - a group so extreme that fellow communist neighbor Vietnam had to go in and put a stop to them.It can be argued that the domino theory has SOME credence to it, and that the paranoia around it wasn't entirely unjustified. not to mention Vietnam, China are still 'officialy' communist. in Mongolia the communist are a major party, and North Korea is more or less the same Stalinist society it was in the 1950's under the name "juche".
Personally I see many similarities between the Vietnam war and the Afghanistan war. in both cases the rebels have a safe haven, granted we can bomb them but it nontheless keeps the US - as the occupying army - on it's heels. your never entirely in total control of the country if you cannot completely wipe out the opposition. in Afghanistan the Taliban fighters can run across to the tribal zone territories in Pakistan, where the Pakistani's seem only really interested when the Pakistani Taliban decide they're going to attack Pakistan. Whereas in Vietnam the NVA and VC had north Vietnam, and America was unwilling to march in, not to mention worried that it might create a repeat episode of the Korean war with China spilling in from the north.
and i fear the moment America and NATO leaves Afghanistan, in a matter of 5 years or less Afghanistan will collapse again. except unlike the Communist, it'll be a cess pool for terrorists and Islamists nut-jobs.

America was losing prior to the back lash from the American people. What ultimately made America lose was the lack of morale. The Vietcong weren't going to give up, America would have to obliterate if they truly wanted to win(Though the Nuke treaty was signed in the late 60s). Vietnam doesn't give up in military tactics, they found the Chinese for hundreds of years for their independence. The worst part is all this could of been prevented if America owned their own damn business.Vietnam is a one party state that still has the same party in charge from when they won the war.[QUOTE="toast_burner"]

ok now.. seriously i feel like i'm arguing with a teenager. we are talking about the WAR. not about the cold war which wasn't actually so much a physical war but a lot more a war of ideas. in the war of ideas capitalism won as the better economic system. it doesn't matter if 40-50 years after the war is over if a country on it's own needs and under it's own internal pressures opt to change up their economic and/or political structures. the Vietnam WAR is a loss to America. Vietnam is not democratic, south Vietnam is gone, Communist forces ended up taking over the entire nation even after 19 years of support and armed force from the US (and prior to that France) failed to shape the country in the Wests preferred government.Vietnam was not a military defeat people! The US backed out because of how negative it was, and it wasn't worth it,, so we left.SonyNintendoFan
If you can't win against a technologically inferior opponent in a war lasting over a decade, you lost.
The whole Idea is asinine. The United Stated would most deffinately win. Canada has a pathetic millatary and stays nuetral in the state of world affairs inless The Queen dictates otherwise. Mexico? Are you serious? Their writing pamplets on how to send their people over here because they have no money and resourses. The only way "mexico" would invade is if it was by the gangs and druglords and we would still easily win. Not to say that what ever damage they caused wouldn't be devaststating. Any one with a pulse and a head full of anger can shock the nation. Just look at Connecticutt.....WhatWouldJoshDoThat was a fvcking atrocious paragraph
