I can't think of a single one that wouldn't.SS-18 ICBM said:Would any major nuclear powers target Canada?

What about civilian targets?John HSOG said:Most likely, yes. The United States recieves most of its the petroleum, natural gas, and Uranium from Canada. Furthermore, an attack on the United States would activate the NATO Alliance, bringing Canada into the war. Canada is also an important partner in NORAD, which alone would require at least some sort of strikes.

You have nothing to back this claim up, it's 100% speculation.John HSOG said:Toronto might be a target, later, for the simple fact that it is Canada's largest city. Some other cities would also be at risk, but I think that the risk is lower than most people think. I can almost garauntee you that Canada's major cities would be safe for at least a day or so after the first strike.

Toronto has nothing of military value, and population does not make it a target, unless you're an Islamo-facist bent on killing lots of Canadians. Vancouver is a far more likely target, or Quebec, both of them housing Canada's repective Navies. Outside of the Carrier-bearing naval powers, Canada has the strongest Navy.
Fair enough.John HSOG said:You have nothing to back the claim that I have nothing to back my claim. Your claim is 100% speculation. Interestingly enough, I am 100% right that your claim is 100% speculation.
Like I said, it is not a certainty that the cities would not be targeted, but any serious research into nuclear war theory and the war plans and scenerios of our own government and that of the former Soviet Union will give you a pretty good idea of how it would have and may still go down.
Toronto is the economic heart of Canada. Destroying it would, alone, end the Canadian economy.
Cheezy the Wiz said:Fair enough.
Which is basically what I said before, that the only reason to target Toronto would be for the intended purpose of killing civilians, since there is no military value to the city. You aren't going to nuke a city for economic impact, if that was the case, we wouldn't have hit Hiroshima in '45, we'd have gone for Kyoto or Osaka, the real powerhouses. We hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki because of their military significance: regional headquarters, the biggest naval base in the Home Islands, and one hell of a munitions factory.
Perhaps only in desperation, once the other side has lost its ability to think straight, or to care about human lives.John HSOG said:Which is why I said that if Toronto were to be targeted, it would not be right away; cause it has no immediate significance to the military situation.
Well then, I guess we'll just have to trigger such a war and find out!John HSOG said:You have nothing to back the claim that I have nothing to back my claim. Your claim is 100% speculation. Interestingly enough, I am 100% right that your claim is 100% speculation.
Can you imagine the president giving a speeach about why we should start a thermonuclear war in order to proove Cheezy the Wiz right? Heck, even then hardcore military people might reconsider going to war.Perfection said:Well then, I guess we'll just have to trigger such a war and find out!
Oh we'd make up a good reason.greenpeace said:Can you imagine the president giving a speeach about why we should start a thermonuclear war in order to proove Cheezy the Wiz right?
Your right, having whole cities being leveled to the ground and people dieing slow painful deaths from radioactive poisoning is so pro-human rights. Geez, what was I thinking? Thanks for the reasoning, I can be so unreasonable sometimes.Perfection said:Oh we'd make up a good reason.
You're into human rights, right?
Well this is a war for human rights! You better join us, or you're against human rights!

*heavy sigh* woah I feel kinda depressed and I'm not even listening to emo (or ever have listened to it). How could propaganda be so damn effective.Perfection said:It worked in Iraq, it'll work now!
