As for Canada, they are pretty much a suburb of the U.S. already. Look at a nighttime satellite photo and you will see all the lights of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Edmonton City hugging the border of the U.S. Above that, there is nothing but darkness, just waiting to be exploited by U.S. ingenuity. Canada is Alaska times 10. Huge tracts of land with immeasurable natural resources just waiting to be tapped by the U.S. juggernaut.
SO by the turn of the next century, 2101, the United States of America will stretch from pretty much the Artic Circle to the Panama Canal. Throw in Cuba and the rest of the West Indies as well - Vacationland U.S.A. - just a more tropical version of Disneyland.
By then, we will be turning our sights to Central and South America. The expansion of our great nation has only just begun.
The Romans, English, and many, many others throughout history eventually found that expansion can be too much of a good thing, especially when the motivation to assimulate to the most effective model by the various cultures is not there.
Why do you think it will be different this time? Oh yeah, that's right.... the new elites are in charge!
We get to make the same mistakes all over again. Yeahhhhh
Well said.
