There is big money in war.

Its not, we don't go around invading countries anymore. what we do is more peaceful and less hostile.
What i'm talking about is cultural. open up some McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks in other countries, give them wifi and put Hollywood films all over their TVs and watch them turn (culturally) American

Lol WWII was on a whole different level.

Afghanistan and Iraq was way more organized and less violent than WWII.

This thread is not about the cultural, but about annexing Canada, it's people, it's government and it's resources.

Just because I'm curious,

CS.
I'm not a US citizens as you know, but I'll take a guess.

Some would oppose it, but they would be drowned out by the louder minority who have business and military aspirations. They would use some sort of excuse, on par with WMD or Socialist nation to the north, to come and free the people of Canada by bringing democracy and hence FREEDOM!!!

And that was one of the ones with some moral imperative that the U.S. was reluctant to join. Go figure.

That's right. US was reluctant to join WW2 and was pretty much forced to build an army overnight and join the war.

Directly or indirectly, the world expects the US to be a watchful protector that isn't afraid to go to war. Plenty of countries in Asia, Europe and NA expect the US to come to their aid incase of armed conflict.
I mean, what would be the general expectation in Canada if Russia were to encroach upon Northern Canada?

Oh yeah, right! Ask the families of those innocent kids in a wedding party killed to get at one guy in Pakistan with a damn drone.

Now you're busily perfecting the waging of war without even getting your hands dirty. Over 60% of US drone targets in Pakistan are homes ? research ? RT News

Your country has been chipping away at whatever moral high ground it's historically held without any "shiving-a-git" for the outcome.

Pakistan and its people lost all moral high ground when they openly declared war on India three times and when they routinely engage to destabilize Afghanistan. Plus they openly harbor terror organizations within their borders and have used them against peaceful countries like India on numerous occasions.

If there were one country that deserved drone strikes. It would be Pakistan.

A wedding party! that's it? lmfao! i love how people freak out over the most minor conflicts in today's age, i think its a sign we live in a very peaceful era.
Today we complain about some drone strikes accidentally killing innocents, in other generations they dropped nukes on cities and killed hundreds and thousands of people and threw millions of people into ovens.

I can maybe understand using the atomic bombs as an example, but the Holocaust? What exactly are you trying to justify?
