Your answer is non-sensical.
I have debunked it again and again here on Fr. I will do it once more!
In our modern times era, since WWII, the US ‘interventions you are talking about have never resulted in America just annexing a country!!
ZERO ANNEXATIONS.
Can you imagine the outcry in the world if Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam had been ANNEXED by America!? Imagine America saying : “Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam are officially American territories now - from now on the American flag will wave over all official buildings in those three areas”!
THAT my friend, is what Russia does!!
Its wat Russia has done against Ukraine. They have stolen Ukrainian territories and declared them RUSSIAN LAND, waving RUSSIAN FLAGS over previous official Ukrainian buildings..
It’s time you come back to reality.
Fantasies doesn’t lead to anything worthy or useful.
PS. Will you say that America was annexed by UK and Europeans right after Christopher Columbus five centuries ago?
It can be debated. Indians (native americans) were indeed there before us. However. America wasn’t a nation yet, when we “took over”. Just a vast place with some tribes dispatched here and there.
So technically it wasn’t a nation yet.
Also I’m talking about modern day era, after WWII. we can’t go back to what countries did to each others centuries ago, of what they did annex or not annex before Jesus Christ was born. All that was an era of Nation building for everyone, everywhere on the planet. It’s the beginning of humanity starting the process of shaping up countries.
