  1. Meh, America has generally always been seeking hegemonic power in the Americas and the possibility of changing that to more direct expansion is just a throwback to earlier periods where we were more active in our desires to own the hemisphere. The funny part though is that even when we were colonizing and expanding, we pretended to be different from the other colonial powers. Now we're just straight up saying "we're taking this" with no apologies or explanations about how we'll run out the caudillos or enlighten people that need a good enlightening. The main lesson to never ever trust Yanqui has been taught and forgotten by nearly every generation in Latin America and its time for Canada and Greenland to learn it. There is always another United Fruit, always another Trump, always another traitor willing to kill their own people for that sweet sweet protection and US $$$. That's the nature of living next to a xenophobic superpower that switches directions every four years but always looks after itself first that really doesn't give a shit about you or any agreements we've had in the past.
  2. This citizenry? That's about as productive as giving a sloth a TI-89.
  3. What are they going to do? Vote for the black democrats?
  4. White Anglospherians aren't "foreigners"!
  5. It really is like your crazy uncle on Facebook became PotUS...again.
  6. They have good prices on cerveza, wait...
  7. Making Robert Borden look like a genius.
  8. That'll buff right out
  9. Confirmed on the ground in the Cypress/Tomball area according to the NWS.
  10. I just imagine this "Again please"
  11. One of the first lessons on Creole was saying "spicy cheese" which is fwomaj pike, fun language with so many influences (I guess that goes for most languages these days) and another reason to learn the language is that it skips the hardest parts of grammar. I'm not sure what you language teachers would do without having the ability to drill verb conjugations constantly.
  12. I just started Haitian Creole on Duolingo mainly to annoy Parisians on my next trip, but also because I like being that weird white dude that can smugly speak (mumble incorrectly) a language they have no business knowing.
  13. I already have a 10 Billion Note on my desk at work from Zimbabwe's fun times. It's amazing the number of people that don't understand that foreign currencies aren't 1 to 1 with the USD. RIP ZWD
  14. Canada and Mexico are dealing with that right now. Hell we all are
  15. Like that's ever stopped us. Jimmy Carter aint walking through that door
  16. One hell of a way pretending they weren't invading to expand slavery in the United States.
  17. I mean it fits with our history of hegemonic terror in the Americas pre, during, and post the prime Monroe doctrine enforcement era with maybe a bit of coolness in the Good Neighbor Era depending on how cynical you are.
  18. Ohh maybe we can get MAGA to read up on the Filibusters from the 19th century and see what happens when 20 gravy seals land in San Pedro Sula.
  19. The "until 2029" was the best part.
  20. Lots of Sid Meier's Pirates! eh?
  21. This is the first year EUIV hasn't been my top game in probably a decade. I need to reevaluate why my life has become less colonial this year (He says as NMS and HoIV are in his top 5).
  22. What did your Steam year look like? Mine was weird. https://store.steampowered.com/replay
