I wouldn't. Why conduct the destructive mess that is a war in our own living room?

I'd contribute to any effort to make long range drones that strike energy and electronic infrastructure deep inside the US instead.

Keep the destruction over there. Watch American arrogance melt away as they realize that fighting a war isn't just some thing they send troops elsewhere to die over while they get to stay comfy and safe at home anymore.

    The answer is going to be both.

    Drones are the future of warfare. Ukraine has proven that.

    But if the US decides to invade, it absolutely WILL send troops over the border. And we'll be there, shooting them down. Carney may have to undo Trudeau's silly handgun restrictions for us RPAL holders for the good of Canada.

    I'm too old to be a soldier, but I can still hold a rifle. I'm not a violent person, but I will defend my country. I don't believe that most people in the US support this, but I will shoot to kill any that come across the border with plans to invade.

    In my nearly 60 years on this planet, this is the first time I've said I will die defending my country.

    So yes, in a situation of war we support drones. We support attacks deep within US territory, rather than traditional face-to-face combat.

    But we will do whatever it takes to protect our country.

    If you're in a war, you're going to get people dying on both sides of the border.

    And it's going to be hard to procure that many drone parts under occupation, so if that's your job, you might end up doing car/ATV bombs instead.

    If they're in your living room, they're in effective control of your area. At that point there will not be long-range drones going (maybe coming in), there will only be direct action by the local populace.
