View submission: Canada's Trudeau announces counter tariffs
That would unironically trigger an invasion. The Canadian military is pathetically small, as is Mexico's.

There is zero public support for going to war against Canada.

The US couldn't defeat an insurgency in Afghanistan, after decades.
What do you think would happen in Canada and Mexico? They'd just politely take it?
No, there would be a low-grade constant insurgency. Firefights, bomb attacks, both outside and inside the US. Assassinations.
Imagine The Troubles and the IRA. Now increase it by several orders of magnitude.
