    I’m surprised the other person is downplaying the consequences of a nuclear strike. If they actually followed through with this then India would be glass in thirty minutes

      I simply disagree. Canada has no nukes of our own so in order to “glass” India, one of the other nuclear powers would have to take that step which then opens them up for retaliation. I just don’t know if I trust the commitment of other NATO countries to commit that hard.

      Think about it, if India nuked Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely attempt to nuke anyone else that attempts to punish them for that. Now if you’re a NATO country other than Canada, are you willing to get yourself nuked as well? I just don’t know if anyone else would put themselves in that position.

      The reality of the situation is that India would never do something so crazy so it’s pointless to speculate about what the response would be.

        The US would retaliate before the nuke even landed in Canada. The Monroe doctrine is still in effect.

          Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.

            Nah - they’d retaliate (not necessarily nuclear) as they don’t like nukes in their part of the world.
            This is assuming the subs could fire their nukes, that the rockets would go where intended and the nukes not being intercepted.
            Recent events shows that there’s a difference between testing weapons in controlled environments and using them for real.
