In theory, if the Russians became more agressive in the arctic, and Canada couldn't fight back (they probably couldn't), would we be obligated to provide assistance?

>anything happening in the arctic
No.
Canada is part of NATO, so yes.
>>33511947
With more and more Ice melting, and massive deposits of untapped resources, I wouldn't be supprised if at least tensions grew stronger over the regions.
>>33511957
NATO doesn't defend canadian arctic claims
>>33511934
Yes, NORAD
>>33511934
Yes. Canada serves as a buffer between the states and Russia. The US is more than willing to keep that buffer as uncontested as possible.
>>33512248
Pretty sure Russia attacking an outpost like Alert would constitute Article 5 enforcement. Regardless, Canada is the US by extension, along with NORAD covering that region.
I'd go fight with the Canadians. I go to the Yukon every once in a while and they're always nice to me.
>>33511934
You want Russians on the US northern border? The US sure as hell doesn't. So yes.
>>33511934
>would we be obligated to provide assistance?
What is NATO.
Plus Russia would BTFO our military in about what, two minutes?
>>33511934
Yes.
NATO article 5 says so. Plus basic common sense that anything that effects Canada will likely impact us.
The US has literally no treaty obligation to help Canada militarily. Canada stands alone.

Wtf Canada is best hat, kys
>>33511934
We all know this is some sort of hockey related revenge scheme, don't try to fool us.
>>33516491
>no treaty obligation
like they need one. PMCs would probably roll out for lulz because its free violence.
>>33516491
Yes the USA and Canada do. Don't know what you're smoking with but I assume not enough.
>>33516491
kys. Syrupniggers are our bros, even with all the bants. We will kill Ivan together.
>>33511934
>in theory?
No, nothing is forcing them to protect Canadian interests in the area
>in reality?
Fuck yes, America would jump at the chance. If not outright, then through airlift and logistical support
Is this thread including the majority of the replies some sort of joke? Of course the US will intervene, you think America is going to give up one of the greatest advantages and let Russia walk up to the US/Canada border?
>>33511934
Canada has no nukes so I say we let Russians nuke Canada using up their nukes then attack Russia. Small price to pay for victory. We can then claim Canada's oil and natural resources for our own
>>33511934
>would we be obligated to provide assistance?
Only after they killed all the liberals
>if the Russians became more agressive in the arctic, and Canada couldn't fight back
More agressive in what way? Russia has assets in the Arctic, Canada has claims. Kind of difficult to be agressive towards someone who does not manifest his presence on the continent.

>Implying it's about your shitty useless borders, not resources
CNN propaganda is sure strong lately.
>>33517304
>Canda listed as "Canadian claim"
the fuck? It's Canada. The claim is just the shaded region.
>UN has territorial claims
lmao fuck off
>>33511934
depends how much of canadas share of arctic resources we would get
