I wouldn't actually advise it myself, but I couldn't argue with the justification of US incursions into portions of Mexico that are already failed states. These are a bigger threat to the US than Iraq ever was (Iraq was never a threat).

Intervening in failed states results in a "you broke it, you bought it" responsibility which the US can't really afford. Look at Puerto Rico, for instance. They're a basket-case but because they are a territory the US has some responsibility for propping them up. Think of how much treasure was spent to rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq. We don't have the surplus to fund Marshall Plan style programs anymore and these countries just piss it all away as they stubbornly refuse to let go of sectarianism, guerilla warfare, and/or terrorism.

Isolationism and "Fortress America" ala Trump's wall is a more logical (albeit politically incorrect) reaction to the world going to hell in a handbasket.

As for Canada, it serves as an escape valve for lefties to emigrate. If you annex it, you'd be welcoming in a huge block of future Democratic votes.

Falkland Islands are a good example. There are not really any English speaking towns or cities. However, Southern South America, especially southern Brazil has a very heavy German influence.

Why should we add an overwhelmingly leftist constituency the size of California to the US?

If we do anything it should be to force Canada to turn over all their foreign relations to Washington so they don't become a communist Chinese satellite.

We should liberate Canada from Trudeau. We don't need to take over Canada, but we do need to kick his pandering phaggot ass. He richly deserves it.

The proposition sounds ludicrous at first but suppose in 20 to 30 years the U.S. is in a war with China. By then the Canadian government may be so friendly with China that the U.S. finds it necessary to invade.

You guys are wasting time thinking and discussing this. Come to Canada and speak to our faces the things you are writing. No... we don't respect America or want to be Americans. Try an invasion and I'll read more about the Taliban and Viet Cong than I already know.

This is a good point, but I still think the most likely scenario for this to happen would be a merger type situation like with what we are seeing in the European Union. Invading a country to annex it will be hard, but if you can convince the people by using methods of persuasion like the EU has done, then an annexation or merger is definitely possible. It's all about how you sell the idea.
