And if he tried to use the military there would be at a minimum mass desertions, but likely a coup. And holding on to Canada would be the most expensive military operation in history. 11428

On my machine the GPU is only at 2.5ms. Compare this to the actual mix on the right which is running around 5.4ms. The ground fog mesh is the biggest hitter. #gamedev 162
