A fascinating argument. The five European language groups and their related cultures spread throughout North and South America are Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and Dutch (in the Caribbean).
Parsing away South America still leave the Northern, as the NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION is of the North and Atlantic, therefore with a link between continents.
Moreover as the US is a NATO member, the "old homelands" have a treaty obligation to defend us as well. "Interest."
LOL, the usual nonsense.
