    We were talking about multiple countries, and you didn't specify which ones you were referring to...so I could only assume. You made it sound like Canada and Mexico would use nukes (since they were included in the conversation that was at hand) I said Nuke the big threats like Russia and China...of course there would be nukes back.

    I didn't say it happened over night...and I don't know how that has anything to do with this.

    Landmass size has nothing to do with anything. Watchout for badass greenland eh?

    (Not to mention that half of Canada is uninhabitable)

    Size of the land has a lot to do with it
    Uninhabitable land is still land you have to traverse? People live all over Canada, east, west, north, south.

    lol, you make it sound like some hobo living out in the tundra is going to fight against the US military.

    Also, it's not like a landmass can only be taken over if every last inhabitant is killed. There's a reason why Florida has strong Spanish traits, and Texas with Mexican traits.

    I'm not making anything sound like anything, you're just 'hearing' what you want to... All I said is that people live all around.

    And you'd have to kill a lot of them, or get rid of them somehow, you can't just expect everyone to bow before the US....
    And taking over is only half of it, how would you CONTROL the all that land? (We're counting Mexico as well), you'd probably never know what going on, and some separate government would probably form, and never be a part of the US...
    Otherwise the inhabitants of the land may just fight back, and therefore you would have to kill everyone.....
    then what? Everyone from the US is just going to hop in their cars and move north and start working? Lol k...

    Jesus Christ you need a history lesson. Newsflash: This wouldn't be the first time a territory has been taken over.

    "I'm not making anything sound like anything, you're just 'hearing' what you want to... All I said is that people live all around."


    Ok, if you didn't mean for them to be combative, then that's a completely pointless statement.

    The US took over Texas, and look at it now. It's just like every other state.
    The US took over Florida, and look at it now. It's just like every other state. Hell, most of the US was taken from someone in some way.

    Do you think Texas was empty when it was taken over? Do you think everyone in Texas was happy about the takeover? Do you think that everybody "bowed down" to their new country? No, no, and no.

    You're making yourself look like an idiot here.

    I think I know my history, thanks. My point still being, shit doesn't happen over night, so good luck with that.

    "Ok, if you didn't mean for them to be combative, then that's a completely pointless statement. "

    Go back and read again or think about what you just said.

    ----

    Same with Quebec, and notice that it's STILL a mostly french province after all this time?
    Why? Because the assimilation and take-over of a single province failed miserably.
    Couldn't stop it then and still can't stop it now. (And I know it wasn't the US, not the point)
    The point is, good luck taking over two whole countries, probably wouldn't even manage to take over one.

    Destroying it is another story.

    So yeah, if anyone is looking like an idiot, it's you.

    There you go bringing "didn't happen over night" again. Time was never a factor of this debate, so stop bringing it up.

    Who the fuck cares about Quebec? Ok, so Canada failed at taking it over completely....Texas and Florida went just fine for the US.

    Be as defiant as you want, neither Canada nor Mexico would pose a stand against the US in a war/takeover/ complete annihilation...call it whatever you want.
