    Ah yes, if only Europe would come to the americas and remove the indigenous civilization and turn it into a resource to extract.

    We can only wonder how that would look.

    Do you think it will ever be possible to pull off a major-power invasion of the USA across the Atlantic or Pacific, or is Odoacer a Mexican or Canadian? The logistics of invasion seem insurmountable in the present timeline.

      I mean, never say never and all that jazz, but I would be very skeptical about the ability of any current extant power or group of powers to pull off that kind of invasion.

      Shit, if you placed a mirror-copy of the US where Europe is now, I would doubt the capability of the US to invade the US. It’s a very daunting prospect, morality of genociding Americans for the crime of being Americans aside.

      And that… justifies othering, then looting and genociding the current inhabitants of the US, for the crime of being descended from the ‘wrong’ proletariat, unlike those other nations founded on imperialism who are descended from the ‘right’ proletariat?

        I don’t really care for the bottom reply in the little picture you posted.

        The OP is obviously about US influence in the rest of the world, and that has to go.

        Let’s not make this personal about me again.
