Suggesting that invading and annexing a country is an "enticing offer" if they're given voting rights instead of becoming an enslaved resource colony is a hell of a take... "But it'll be good because the USA will benefit!"
Stop sanewashing a horrific invasion with selfish American-centric reasons. I'm trying to say this in the nicest way possible but this is one of the reasons the world despises the USA right now.
I see these types of comments constantly and it blows my mind that some Americans think this is reasonable and not a deeply offensive and ignorant thing to say.
If you live in Vancouver, now is a helpful time to donate blood since there will be a need.
