      Putin is not a tankie; the dude is a literal billionaire who participated in gutting the USSR. How well did the haute bourgeosie fare under Lenin or Mao?

    Meanwhile, in reality, they are terrified of letting Puerto Rico become a state because it might threaten their delicate gerrymandered hegemony in Congress by adding two more senators and one or more representatives. This “map” is the fever dream of a lead-poisoned, terminally MAGA moron.

    I’m surprised they didn’t just stretch the northern states to consume Canada. Perhaps they are afraid of giga Michigan and it’s immense power.

      BC is gone 🥺 As are NWT and Nunavut.

      No idea what CL/CD (in BC) and MK (NWT) and KW (Nunavut) are supposed to refer to.

    How come they want a little chunk of Mexico and all of Nicaragua, but they don’t the rest of Mexico?

    All this talk of expanding the USA from everyone is… concerning.

    Also this map includes Iceland, northern Sicily and the Faroe Islands. What?

    I love how even unconsciously they can’t take Mexico. I know it’s most probably racism, but we still prevail prior to come back.

        Not joking. The USA can take Mexico anytime, but they hardly could keep it. Also, the USA does not rule in Mexico, at least not openly. If you take that USA meddling in other countries affairs is enough to call it a colony, well, then everyone in the world is a colony of the USA. NAFTA was a trade agreement, but it was contingent to whatever is agreed between governments, not whatever the US government says. The renegotiation of NAFTA, the USMCA, is proof of this. If the USA government thinks countries in the world do not have options to trade, it’s their mistake. At this point they can be replaced, but that doesn’t help anybody in North America.

    Canada, Panama and Greenland (Denmark) should not worry. Every single fucking loser MAGAt will have a copy of Cadet Bone Spur’s 1968 doctors note excusing them from military service.

    Seeing as they mention America’s 250th birthday I am going to mention that the average lifespan of an empire is 250 years.
