Because we have externalized the ownership of goods and resources towards the use of international capital instead of sovereign control. There is no need to go to war for land if you can buy it; war is expensive compared to trading. It's only nations who refuse to jump when the 'international community' say so that get fricked.

If you ask me I think Canada has already started invading America with their damn geese. I think a war is our only option here.

Because we can. Why did Genghis Khan or the Romans do it?

"There's nothing wrong with this economy. All it needs is a war. I'm not saying it has to be a big war. We could hit Mexico again. We could attack them after lunch when they're all asleep under them big hats."

Because in order to extract value from a place, you had to occupy and own it. That is not the case nowadays.

The Chinese are buying up lots and lots of prime American real estate, and they are buying up the rights to many mineral deposits in Africa. In another time where global commerce wasn't as violence-free, they may have done so by conquest, but that isn't the name of the game anymore.

We can't clean up Jackson, NO and Detroit. Why the hell would we want Mexico?

I prefer cane syrup over maple syrup and I don't watch hockey. Not really sure why we would want to annex Canada.

Yeah, but we could just seize that shite quick if it became a matter of national security. Can’t do that when it’s taken by force
