Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

I don’t know if I’d agree. I don’t know if there was a particularly ideologically committed insurgency in Iraq, nor do I think the Taliban in Afghanistan are a unified force. While not ideal, I think asymmetric warfare lends itself well to disparate factions. It’s what makes traditional warfare almost seem like a fantasy these days
I think any sort of insurgency in Europe imand Canada would be large enough and strong enough to cause major problems in guerilla conditions.
An insurgency could be created yes but it would pop up out of the conditions, it would need to seek volunteers rather than operate on a professional paid military basis. Its participants would be doing so not to be paid but because they believe in that cause. It’s completely different to the motivation the existing soldiers have who signed up expecting (at worst) to get sent to fight asymmetrical warfare on the stronger side.
professional soldiers are still indoctrinated and trained if their paycheques stop coming. not saying most or all would go partisan but they’re more disposed to than average
Uhh what? The Iraqis and Taliban were/are fighting an overtly xenophobic, anti-muslim imperial occupation. They hate the west.
There’s no such cultural/racial/ideological differences between Canada and the US. Once the average white Canadian realizes the status quo remains largely untouched for them they’ll sit down and shut up
