In a worst case scenario: US Invasion. What device could the US government simply force to stop working in Canada that would cause the most chaos (e.g: brick all iPhones)? (lemmy.ca)

What products are most at risk. What are easiest to replace to reduce risk? Hardest to replace?

In a invasion we don't have to think about software kill switches, each tower can be trivially destroyed.

I suppose I was presuming they wanted the infrastructure intact. Probably easier to shut off the power than to destroy the dam. But this all presumes they're acting rationally. Invading Canada isn't rational, so everything else is a question mark too.

Cell phone towers are not critical infrastructure, destroying them is just the cost of war.

Hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, anything that takes a long time to build, would be spared if the intent is to takeover.

Off the cuff invasion scenario:

Jam all gps
Multistike all air force and anti air installations
Emp over military facilities
Destroy key communication points
Destroy power grid
Mine all major roads (cluster mines from the air)
Secure /disable nuclear assets

Cut the population off so they can't organize, destroy the military, secure critical assets. Since most of the CA population lives within 100km of the boarder the only real pernicious worry will be submarines deployed and further afield military posts in the north.
