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.
I’m an Australian, so I feel kinship with Canadians over this entire issue.
I wasn’t being serious in the argument, rather using absurdism to point out that the entire “Canada as the 52st state” is unworkable - and would gloriously blow up in Trump and the republicans face.
It’s honestly a much less stressful thought exercise than the potential balkanisation of the United States - nuclear power experiencing a civil war would not turn out well for anyone.
