I'm just happy that the ball is finally rolling on the liberation of Canada and re-unification.

I will summarize the state of Canada:

We have a criminal government who embezzle at minimum 90% of our tax revenue to enrich themselves and their foreign friends.
They rob the most productive western provinces blind to enrich unproductive slobs in the east.
They criminalize dissent and peaceful protests by declaring actual martial law and freezing protestor's bank accounts. This behaviour is far worse than anything we have EVER seen in the West for centuries. It is a defilement of our sacred culture, law, and tradition.
An ongoing genocide has been conducted in my province of BC by flooding vulnerable native populations with the hardest and most dangerous drugs on the earth. The death toll of overdoses, suicides, and other deaths of despair is catastrophic, a holocaust. Young people dying all the time is just normal here now. Meanwhile, the dead population is replaced with hostile foreigners.

On Europe:

Europeans exist largely in a state of delusion. They have spat on the hand that fed them, pushed subversive propaganda declaring their own people as the enemy, invited hordes of actual enemies within their borders, marginalized their own people, while skating by paying only the bare minimum for their own defence, for decades. Their subversive slop declaring the illegitimacy of themselves has run into a wall of reality: if they are illegitimate, on what grounds do they have to state that the USA cannot take them over? Ungrateful doesn't even begin to describe it. It is so soon that they forget that all of Europe would have fallen into Soviet hands without US intervention. And they forget or ignore that to this day, the USA provides the vast majority of their military defence on their own dime. Europeans have continued to spit on the USA by defiling the sacred right of freedom of speech - most European states resemble banana republics where peaceful dissent is criminalized, complete with wasteful show trials, while murderers rapists scammers and thieves walk free and are celebrated by the government.

So in summary, the USA has a mandate and has the right under every law of Heaven to root out the corruption, destroy anyone who is complicit, and assert total control. Anything less is an atrocity.

When America called after 9/11 Europe answered. Denmark has the highest per capita loss in Afghanistan of any country, and has allowed the US to place military bases on Greenland for decades. Military bases that has since been abandoned. Now the US wants Greenland for "National Security". This is utter bullshit, just put troops back to the bases or build new ones, America is allowed to do that and this is no way to treat an ally that was first to answer when called.
That being said, the foreign policy of America is absolute dogshit and have been for fucking decades and this gets critisism not only from American citizens but also from foreign countries and their governments because what the actual fuck and why do we give this critisism? It's mainly because we care about the american people and we have opinions just like you do.

I think the massive outpouring of worldwide support after 9/11 was great. China had candlelight vigils for weeks. Tiny African villages had memorials. That's all excellent, it shows that the world really does understand that an attack on America is an attack on world stability, on freedom and the hope of a continued human civilization. But it doesn't excuse your shitty behavior for the following 25 years.

I don't care who controls Greenland. Denmark is squandering it's natural resources on purpose though, because polls have repeatedly shown that the only reason Greenland doesn't declare independence is because they are a welfare state propped up by Denmark. If Denmark invests into developing the rich natural resources of Greenland, those investments will immediately be stolen. Maybe someone who can figure out how to make it mutually beneficial to harvest their resources should do that, because you guys haven't been able to.

So America, when they needed it their allies did, in fact, show up. They put their sons and daugthers, fathers and mothers, on the line, for America. That's an ally. And they did that, and have kept doing that, despite the fact that America lied. They lied about WMDs and America, on behalf of Israel, went completely rouge in the middle east which cost europe countless lives, and if anything, worsened 10th fold the security situation in europe, on behalf of America. Because we are allies.
Now we did all of that, and continues to do that (france and uk just hit targets in syria as example) but that doesn't mean that we cannot call the situation we put ourselves in, for your sake, for what it is. AN ABSOLUTE CLUSTER FUCK of a decision.
So yea America gets shit for the bad decisions they do, and you know what America has made terrible fucking decisions for the last 25 years and actually even more and there's plenty of euopean blood on the ground of alot of those decisions so i think euopeans have earned the right to critique their ally. I'll even go as far as to say it's necessary and prudent to critique your friends and in this case your allies when they make bad decisions so they don't end up repeating them.

The last time I saw this argument used, it wasn’t in geopolitics - it was in the Diablo II PvP community. A user was single handed propping up a ladder community via sharing his account. Someone said: “Your gear is good, you let me use it, but you’re not using it properly, so I’m going to take it and use it.” He then scammed the account. He gave some of the items to his friends, who defended themselves by saying: “I didn’t do the scam - I’m just using the gear. There’s nothing you can do about it.”

The response was unanimous. Across multiple communities - including American ones - this logic was rejected outright. It was recognized for what it was: a scam. And it didn’t just harm one player - it fractured trust across the entire community. When moderators reviewed the case, they didn’t debate intent or efficiency. They ruled it theft and banned both the scammer and those knowingly benefiting from it.

The reason was simple: if access can be retroactively turned into ownership because someone decides you’re “wasting” what you have, cooperation becomes impossible. Sharing becomes risk. Friendships collapse. That argument didn’t become acceptable just because it was framed as competence or better use. It was still stealing.

That’s why this matters. Saying “they aren’t using it properly, so someone else should take it” isn’t a policy disagreement - it’s a worldview. And everywhere that worldview is applied - in games, markets, or states - it produces the same result: a massive fracture in the community, the collapse of trust, and ultimately the death of the system itself.

The umbrella of domestic issues effected by prior foreign policy. The United States going abroad in my lifetime has only lead to more expenses and deprecation of quality of life back home without any reward or loot at the end of the campaign. Usually just a destabilized region needing more aid left. Since you brought up War, would you rather fight a civil war or external war when austerity measures fail?

Your question misses the point: external war does not solve domestic problems. Sending troops abroad cannot repair crumbling infrastructure, rising gun violence, unaffordable housing, or a broken health care system — it only distracts from them. Put simply, if there’s a problem in my home, I don’t go looking for a fight down the street to take my mind off it. I fix the issues at home first. If you want to build a house, you need strong foundations.

The U.S. prides itself on being a democratic country and sees Communist China as the enemy. Not because China is communist, but because China is actually doing well. The U.S. focus isn’t on strengthening itself at home — it’s on trying to stop China from succeeding. When stripped to its essentials, this strategy is laughable. The same foundations China is building could be built by the U.S., if it had the political will and a culture that prioritized domestic improvement. Politically, however, the U.S. is a mess, and culturally, it is simply not in the business of improving itself at home.

echoes of my Mitch McConnell post here.

Surprising you would take an absolutist stance on that given the numerous examples, historical and modern where domestic improved as result of conflict. External conflict does not always yield improvement on domestic issues, can be disasterous infact like with Germany. Claiming they never do ignores history entirely.

As for China I see the firming up of US foreign policy in Asia as an improvement for domestic industry back home. For example, China has made leaps and bounds in technology as they have been stealing IP and reverse engineering for decades. Having a Cold war with China, as with Russia leads to innovation from competition. That being said, it's too late IMO to beat China in some kind of IP race solo.

I’m looking at the U.S. model. It’s a relatively young country - only about 500 years old - but it has waged enough wars that we can extrapolate a pattern. Historically, wars of conquest can yield profits. If the U.S. annexed Greenland, sure, there would be “loot.” But there’s no evidence that this would solve (or translate to solving) America’s domestic problems. Do you really think it would fix health care, crumbling roads, or crime and punishment? There needs to be a willingness to do this, and in the US, culturally, this does not exist. There is a fundamental problem which is not being addressed.
