    His ambassador to Canada wants to make us the 51st state too. And with congress just passing a spending bill that will give the military over 1 trillion dollars it looks like the US is about to start annexing North America.

      Well it’s obvious US, Russian and China collude to take control of other parts of the world.

      US take the American continent, Russia the European and China the Asian…

      The African continent is actively scouted by China and Russia right now too… Remain Australia… well… who want Australia?

      It’s why Trump won’t push too much regarding Putin, he wants to do the same and remain in power for life.

          It’s so ridiculous when they can’t even effectively govern the fucking country they already have.

            Imperialism is often seen as a compelling solution to the absolute failure of tyrants to govern domestically.

            They’re not trying to effectively govern. It has been a long time since that was any concern of the Republican Party. Their government is about using force to steal whatever you can get, and enjoying cruelty towards those who can’t fight back.
