Step in and do what? Cross the ocean to launch a counter-invasion against the biggest military force on the planet? And how long that would take? It took 5 years until Europe was liberated, well long enough for 11 million people to be executed in the concentration camps.
You forgot about the nukes UK and France have.
Drop a few tactical nukes along the US-Canada border and make it a toxic wasteland to cross.
And threaten to escalate.
Also, the US Military will splinter immediately before the war begins, there will be infighting. Along with all those in National Guards. It will be a US Civil War 2.0 happening concurrent with the US-Nato War. NATO will support the anti-fascist part of the US Civil War.
The US might be powerful, but is a fascist US also that powerful?
Think about all the women and black military officers they fired. All those classified intel they have in their head. Surely they aren't just gonna let the US go full fascist. They'll leak intel. Maybe reveal secret backdoors, etc... the fascist's OPSEC isn't exactly good
A - UK uses Trident, an American launch system, so it's likely that any attack against America by the UK would somehow be disabled
B - that's not how MAD works. If France, or the UK, launched anything nuclear the retaliation would be immediate and immense.
C - why try to invade 11 million canadians when there are only a few tens of thousands of greenlanders? If an intra-NATO war happens, that's the more likely one imo.
