My guess is that the military command would probably refuse the order. Or at least some parts would refuse, some would follow, it would be chaotic and could easily trigger a civil war.
But if they all follow the order…?
I really hope there would be major unrest across all US cities. General strike and millions on the street. This could end the trump presidency relatively quickly. Something like in South Korea recently, just much bigger.
But if not?
From a military point of view, Canada and Europe wouldn’t stand a chance. Unlike the Russians in Ukraine this would be a quick operation. However, the guerrilla war afterwards would be pretty damn fierce. But it would be a damn big shock for the global economy. The USA would suddenly be completely isolated. Global trade would probably grind to a halt. China would attack Taiwan. Organizations like the UN would be on the ground. The rest of the world would immediately try to arm itself with nuclear weapons. The global economy would collapse. Sooner or later we would have total chaos.
I really hope we won’t find out.
