I guess that the scenario where Canada chooses to launch airstrikes against the US and is able to do so successfully just doesn't get much weight in my risk modeling. And in that scenario, things are very bad whether or not Canada has nuclear power plants to target...
- perardi 4y agoI suspect they mean “what if someone attacks the nuclear plants in southern Ontario”. Which, I don’t exactly know Canada-US defense agreements, but given we share assets like NORAD—I assume an attack on southern Ontario would be tantamount to declaring war on the US, which would probably go poorly for everyone. EDIT: Oh, strike that, they literally mean Canada attacking the US, which is the stupidest idea I’ve heard in a while.
- simulate-me 4y agoI was responding to someone who asked "Who could strike a nuclear power plant who couldn't use a nuclear bomb." Canada is a very valid answer to that questions. No one is talking about the likelihood of such an event.
