Thomas Jefferson writing to friend at the outbreak of War in 1812

“The acquisition of Canada this year, as far as the neighborhood of Quebec, will be a mere matter of marching; & will give us experience for the attack of Halifax the next, & the final expulsion of England from the American continent.”

How did that work out for you again my friend ? We may not be able to help Canada by blockading your entire eastern seaboard, bankrupting your country or invade and occupy Washington DC.

We do however have over 200 nukes. Enough to flatten every city and town in the United States with a population greater than 500K. So ask yourself, is Canada worth the sweet release of the atom ?
