Is it bad that I want him to try?
Historically, the US has never acquired territory by force, and even then Emperor Clementine would need a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to ratify and prove the annexation was legal, which I doubt he'll get.
F*ck around and find out, as it were.
Fucking What
Was your historian a rabid white supremacist who pretends none of the Indian Wars happened, much less the Mexican or Spanish-American Wars?
No, you're absolutely correct! I meant it more along the lines of the "We take nothing by conquest" rhetoric, which is equally hypocritical considering the reality. I didn't really want to add an "/s" to the statement... Yes, the US killed a lot of people in Mexican territory, but then they made up a treaty and paid $15mil for half of the land ๐คท (heavily simplified).
But it's 2025, and I'm honestly not sure if the geopolitical climate is in a better or worse state than it was 170 years ago. And if not worse on average, it's definitely widely polarized.
I dunno, is it bad that you've brainwashed yourself and are now actively radicalizing yourself? It's a judgement call.
Yes, it's bad. We'd lose. Maybe they'd lose too, but if so it's going to involve Taliban-like timelines and Afghanistan-like living conditions that whole time.
Yeah, as much as I'd like to pretend it will also prompt the Second American Civil War and swathes of military officers refusing orders I simply don't have faith in Americans to do the right thing.
It's famously a lot easier to "just follow orders", and they only need a fraction of their forces to agree to make it happen. I highly doubt they'd fight each other on our behalf, at least.
Ya I want him to try as well. I am so fucking sick of republicans and magats dragging down the entire human race. Can you imagine what the world would be like if bush didn't steal the election from al gore? No war in the middle east, probably would have resulted is way better relations between countries all around the world. Would have resulted in more prosperity for everyone. Would have been a massive coordinated effort to fight climate change. They'd probably have healthcare by now. To this day republicans have been hell bent on destroying the world. I hope they come to Canada. Wiping them out would be the highest possible purpose my life could ever serve. Even if I could only take out one of those magat freaks with me, it would be worth it. Lets fucking go, ill be ready.
With the statements yesterday about the โartificially drawn borderโ itโs clear he wants southern Ontario.
Tough shit. He can't have it. The sun will expand and engulf the inner planets before I become an American.
Even if he fails, our quality of life would significantly decrease. Not really wanting to become an insurgent and get my brains blown out by a delta force operator or something. Not saying we should back down in any case, but the prospect of an invasion like that is scary af.
What about all the native land, and the Mexican-American war?
Well you're not wrong, I think some dummies would say "acktually we bought it from Mexico".
I liked this article from a couple months ago on the whole situation: https://www.dal.ca/news/2025/01/09/united-states-canada-state-51st.html
I also want him to try, mostly because I think that may finally be the straw that gets someone to successfully snipe him. All it will take is some pissed off hosier with better aim than the last guy.
Hosier is from Ireland. Hoosers are from Indiana. Hosers are from Canada.
Yes, because innocent people will die.
