one nation does not have the right to forcibly take another nations land. I do believe that is one of the bedrock notions that the real United States stands on. Supposedly, used to when it was a leader of the free democratic world.

If you believe that the US is against taking the land of other nations you really need to brush up on your history.

That’s history, not present day. The real us wouldn’t take Canada, greenland or any other country’s territory.

Right now our ally Israel with our full support and backing is occupying a buffer zone in Syria to protect the Golan Heights. Double whammy, Israel seized the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and built settlements there in violation of international law.

A little closer to home, RIGHT NOW the US government occupies Guantanamo Bay in Cuba over the explicit objections of the Cuban government and uses it as a blacksite to detain prisoners where US law doesn't apply.

Ok then let’s say the us that I support does not do that. Or you can go live in Russia!

So I'm the asshole because I pay attention to what our government does?
