No, there’s no situation in which we get invaded because of oceans and proximity to the US.
Our arctic waters are desired by and are in proximity to several threat actors who are actively chipping away at our sovereignty. Just for one example.
Even if we werent part of NATO the US does not want any hostile country occupying land on its continent.
“our sovereignty” No, there are zero threat actors who have the capability to occupy the Canadian north where they want oil and gas from. They could not protect any sort of resource extraction sites from even our limited self-military capabilities.
NATO is a lot more than just the US-Canada alliance. NORAD for example is not part of NATO operations.
Even if we werent part of NATO the US does not want any hostile country occupying land on its continent.
If that is the only thing keeping us safe, then we do not have autonomy as a country. We must then do whatever the USA wishes to because if we don’t, they would just take our resources for “national security.”
If you think our defence has any chance against the US, then you are delusional, they could take us over any time they wanted. Even if the US left NATO and attacked us, all the remaining countries in NATO wouldn’t be able to stop them.
There’s just no benefit to them to take us over at this point and we keep it that way intentionally by remaining friendly and giving them most of what they ask for.
