If Canada Got Overrun, Would We Use Terrorist Tactics?

They could target them to hit far enough north to avoid the US territories (a little radiation would still spread but not that much) while still affecting Canada. But I shouldn‘t have said nuclear weapons in the first place. Hydrogen bombs would have a much better effect. As for Toronto, blowing up Pickering does the job better than any nuclear/hydrogen warhead in terms of overall damage.

All this doesn‘t matter though. The nuclear exchange that would happen in the first hours of the conflict would far outnumber deaths of the aftermath (such as radiation or even survivors‘ ground battles).

P.S. They can also drop neutron bombs, but I doubt they would be used on Canada, as well as their limited numbers.

What nuclear exchange? Canada has no nuclear weapons buddy.

The heck are you talking about? Nuclear radiation would spread into the US for certain, regardless, no president would consider the use of nuclear weapons in this day and age for the simple fact of the public opinion. Not to mention the damage done to resources and infrastructure.

Hydrogen bombs would have a much better effect

This is a Nuclear weapon still, all fission-fusion bombs are nick named Nuclear Weapons, even though there are many different kinds. Hydrogen bomb really isn‘t the most impressive nuke they have.

P.S. They can also drop neutron bombs, but I doubt they would be used on Canada, as well as their limited numbers.

The US has dismantled all Neutron warheads as of 1992. They were originally intended to take out personel, while leaving structures mostly intact (In tests they destroyed most civie buildings regardless). The neutrons would escape and effectively penetrate armor thus negating the effects of armored bunkers or men in the T-72‘s in the good ol Soviet. And were made to be fired from Artillery. So your assumption seems improbable at best.

I wouldn‘t consider myself very informed in the area of Nuclear Weapons, however I consider myself aware. So when I read a post like yours Mercury, I get the feeling that not only do you not have a friggin clue, you honestly believe you are pretty well informed and thus spread your own misinformation. Please, stop.
