Re: What's Going On In Russia?

Yes, Howie because America sent unmarked troops into another country's territory, had a referendum with results that are so loopsided that was laughable, and annexed the other country's territory, after pulling the same stunt in a third country. Oh wait, that was Russia. So are you suggesting that America should make off with Canada's, then Mexico's territory (after a sham election, of course) in order to "remain a strongly independent nation ."
I'll be many people in California have family in Baja California and many people in the Washington State have family in British Columbia, so we can reunited families
Indeed, some parts of the Canada were once parts of the US, so we get to have a historical claim to them!

Hmmm.... I dunno, do you really think we might want to try that again? Last time we tried to grab Canadian land (the War of 1812) it came to a draw and we ended up with the borders we have today. Further, Canada and the US are on good terms with each other at the moment, and if things get dicey with an overseas adversary it's good to have a friend protecting your back.
