    I can explain some of this

    Greenland: The US has tried to purchase the island several times throughout history

    Canada: US Americans have desired to take Canada since before independence from Britian. The original Articles of Confederation has a provision allowing Quebec to join the USA. Newfoundland had a small USA annexation movement before it became part of Canada

    USA: All of the changes are/were proposed states, some had a real chance of happening (the break up of Texas) and others are just memes (The State of Jefferson in the west coast). Why chuds would want this, I don't know

    Cuba: occupied twice by the US in the early 20th century

    Dominican Republic: Then known as Santo Domingo, the US tried to annex the country in the 1870s but was shot down by congress

    Mexico: Northern Mexico and Baja California were originally intended to be taken as US territory after the 1846 Invasion

    Yucatan: White slavers in the briefly existing Republic of Yucatan once asked to become a US state

    Nicaragua: On and off occupied and manipulate by the United States throughout history

    Panama: Former US colony

    Sicily: Occupied by the US in WW2. Post war there was a small sicilian independence movement, which included and even small movement to become a US state

    Iceland: The US briefly considered purchasing Iceland after the US Civil War.

    Faroe Islands(?): No clue

    POB(?): Not sure what this is

    South China Sea: Not sure what specific islands this is referring to

      That's the Philippines, which used to be a US colony before the Filipinos (Filipines?) fought to kick the USians out.

    Genuinely believe a good bit of the madness going on in the world right now stems from the fact that people are solely coming to the realization that colonizing other planets is impossible.

    If they fail to achieve this goal, the US is obliged to dissolve, 2 years left for the US to be destroyed.

    Also, why the fuck did they conquer the Dominican Republic but not Haiti?

      The Dominican Republic is famous for its resorts. Haiti is too "dark" for the MAGA people.

        I thought this was because Ulysses S. Grant wanted to annex the Dominican Republic

          I mean the us also occupied the Dominican republic (and Haiti) due to fear of german influence in the 1910s

    USA doesn't deserve to be a country. It should be split between Canada, Mexico, Cuba and indigenous peoples as a punishment for the horrible crimes it has committed throughout its history. Similar to Germany post-WWII amerikkka

            The PRC is literally an ally of the US and UK in Red Dawn lol.

            Yugoslavia had good relations with the Soviets and the US. Albania is neutral because they had bad relatons with the US, USSR and China.

              When Red Dawn came out, the PRC would definitely have supported the US and UK in an open war between the Soviets and the Americans

                I think that mostly happened because the Soviets also nuked and invaded China. In the 2010's remake they had 100% filmed the movie with China as the main villain and Russia supporting them, but at the last minute they changed to North Korea

    I've been sensing some real "Only joking, unless..." energy to this line of posting, though I kind of doubt America has the means to actually annex anything without it being a pyrrhic victory at best.

      Is there even a time limit to stay in KKKlanada for the US? Is there any part or privilege of Canada you cannot enjoy as a USian? Are they proposing economic and perhaps actual warfare so that customs is a little more convenient?

        The biggest issue is that the canadians refuse to make their arctic waters into international waters. Its the same reason Donald wants Greenland and Germany is building a big port (Finnafjord Port) in Iceland for the EU.

        Healthcare that is only considered good because it's sitting next to the US.

          The US dollar being what it is means Americans actually have more access to Canadian oil and natural gas.
