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.

you mean to tell me there's free-real-estate on Mars but we can't settle it?!!??! monke-rage

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

Cuba annexing Florida would be the funniest shit ever

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

Irl under the spanish, Florida and the Lousiana purchase territory were administered from Cuba.

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

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

Bold words for a country that has not won a war in almost a century despite starting many

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 hours ago

Seriously, all Panama and Canada has to say is "no" and Trump can complain all he wants on twitter or w/e.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

Actually I am in. I want a us where Oaxaca gets two senate seats.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago

Wow not even chuds want Guatemala

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 hours ago

Like the ruling class would ever want to expend the resources and effort to actually administer additional territories.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

Tag yourself, I'm the great state of Absaroka (I hope?), population 180,000.

Iceland? The Faroe Islands? The Dominican Republic but not Haiti? I can't even tell what the two topmost cutouts are. Who the fuck is calling for this lmao. This is sub-Gunther tier.

Left is part of Sicily. Right took me forever, but I think it's the city of Bremen?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Yes. The city of bremen was carved out of the british occupation zone because the americans wanted a port. Otherwise it would have been part of the federal state of lower saxony.

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago

Why even annex a part of Sicily? Is there even anything they could get from it?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

dude it's literally all settlerism what are you gonna do, put the white canadians in camps? you're already the same people. it's already your country.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

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

Different flavours of racism

A mashed up mixture of metric and imperial measurements

Everything else is basically just American

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago

Looks like you need a visa if you're staying more than 180 days, and you need a visa to get a job.

If Twitter was around in the 19th century, Manifest Destiny Twitter would have been full of maps like these

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

there would be memes of crying soyjack natives pointing at a chadjack colonizer and the chadjack colonizer says "happy thanksgiving"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 hours ago

They already make these

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Reminder that all mainstream news establishments and entertainment platforms still use twitter!

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I like how after annexing Canada they immediately jerrymander it. And also make 2 Wyomings for some reason. Priorities.
