The U.K. is not able to afford it’s own defense from any real military threat; it’s really relying on the U.S. to backstop them militarily.
If Scotland completely breaks away from the U.K., their national defense will be a complete joke.
In much of the Commonwealth there is so much focus on the politics of getting out of the U.K., they fall on their face in most every real issue. I mean, if China wanted to come kick Canada’s a$$ and enslave the Canadians to grow wheat for them, and if the U.S. did absolutely nothing about it, it would take all of about a month to happen. The rest of the Commonwealth would be encapable of helping them.

How would they reach Canada? How are they going to supply their jets?
They could fit maybe 5k men on one transport that was capable of sailing around the world. That, plus the supplies.
Say they land with 5000 men in Vancouver, they wouldn’t be able to do it unannounced, not sailing past Esquimault.
How long would it take to disembark? Where would they land the boat? Coal Harbour?
Esquimalt alone has 6 frigates and 1 destroyer. The PRC has by my count 6 boats in the same class of Canada. So if they were willing to sacrifice all of their best boats, and were willing and able to sail them all the way to Vancouver, they could land.
I don’t think it’s possible, given the Canadian naval and air resources. There would be more people on the freeway at the time than the people they could land.
