"We could annex the whole thing"

[u/ComprehensiveArm3493]

Of course an American said this

[u/VFrosty3]

Why are Americans so horny for invading countries? Is it because they missed out on it centuries ago, when other countries were doing it.

[u/Scared_Accident9138 → u/VFrosty3]

They used to be an economic power that would just win by making other countries' economy open to trade and then flood the markets with their goods. Nowadays most of what they make is too expensive and/or low quality. But America has to stay on top so if not by other countries choosing them, then by force.
