Could Canada and it's allies beat America and it's allies in a war.

Preface: As my opponent has not specified, I will assume the BoP will lie on Pro to prove his claim that the United States could be beaten by Canada and its collective allies. My job will be to prove this claim false and rebut my opponent’s arguments. Introduction: Renowned as arguably the greatest superpower on Earth, the United States has power unmatched by other countries, especially comparative to Canada. As I will later explain, this topic boils down to a showdown between Canada and the United States. I will statistically prove that the United States is indeed capable of pulling off a win when faced with such a situation as proposed in the resolution. C1) Canada’s allies are similar to the United States’ allies. My opponent mentions in the first round that Canada has many allies, but gives no source to back up those claims. However, assuming that he is correct, I will show that the relations between Canada and these nations he exemplifies are relatively similar to the relations between the US and those nations as well. Let’s start out with Ireland, the first country my opponent brings up. Ireland is on good terms with the United States and is considered an ally. Furthermore, 67% of Irish citizens agree with US leadership. [1] This shows the relations to be good between the two countries. Secondly, my opponent mentions the United Kingdom. The UK is highly regarded as the United State’s biggest ally. [2] Thirdly, my opponent brings up Australia. This once again is an ally to the US, and an important one in regards to North Korea and China and their activities. [3] Next, New Zealand was mentioned. The defense relationship between the two lends significant insight to the possible return to the future solidification of a total alliance between the two countries. [4] The Netherlands is brought up once more by my opponent. This is one of the United State’s oldest alliances, going all the way back the the Revolutionary War in the US. [5] The United States is also on peaceful terms with Africa, which is the last region my opponent specified. [6] All of these statistics prove that the United States is on good relationships, if not totally allied to, every country my opponent brought up. That said, if Canada were to turn on the United States, the allies of which he speaks would be of no help to the Canadian cause. They would instead opt to maintain positive relationships with the United STates and remain neutral. This is for a few various reasons. A few of which being the diversity and acceptance of America to different races and the overall trading net benefits that the United States has. Furthermore, the United States offers some of the best job opportunities and education opportunities to countries around the world. Thus, Canada is now alone to face the United States. C2) Military presence belongs to the United States. Now facing only Canada, the United States has a staggering advantage in regards to military. In virtually every category, the United States has a vast superiority. [7] Moreover, the United States has more police authority to crack down on potential crimes that could arise in the period of the war, that could also assist in fighting Canada. [8] Because of these reasons, we find that the United States could indeed fulfill the resolution and defeat Canada. Sources: [1] http://en.wikipedia.org... [2] http://www.pewglobal.org...
