Choose the 51st state of the USA

[member 3289]

Pros/Cons of each choice:

The UK

Pros - same language, decent military, intelligence agencies basically answer to us anyway so smooth transition

Cons - far, monarchy situation could be problematic, teeth

Canada

Pros - close, same language for 80% of population, smooth transition bc most of the world thinks they're already part of the US

Cons - Quebec, Justin Bieber, Quebec

Australia

Pros - same language (accents very easy to understand), geographically strategic position

Cons - Far as fuck, mostly uninhabitable, few natural resources, few fucks given overall about country

So what do you think? Who should we choose to join the dream team?

We own half of it already. Might as well get the rest of it.

Besides Puerto Rico?

Yea there's this little place called American Samoa too...

 

[sparkuri]

Virgin Islands

 

[Ryann Von Doom]

Canada.

 

[WineDineSixty-Nine]

We don't want Puerto Rico, that place is broke as hell and swimming in a shit ton of debt. We have enough to debt already. Good for a vacation though.
Just for shits and giggles, let's annex Madagascar.

Dear America,

Fuck off and fix your own mess, before you go expanding. Your like the drunk at a house party mouthing off and throwing your weight around.

Sincerely,
The Civilised World.

In years from now the U.S. will be no more than a footnote to the British Empire.

You really should read some history books about how those things went down.

You know when you're helping a buddy move, and you have that one buddy who shows up late, but at then end of the day acts like he did all the work? Meanwhile everyone who isn't him knows that if he'd shown up at 8am like everyone else instead of wheeling in at noon things would've gone smoother and been done a lot faster.

That's America in regards to both World Wars. You're welcome for the history lesson, and you can feel free to use that analogy.

This. Ill also use the buddy moving analogy. Say your buddy asks you all to come around and help him move (Vietnam, Gulf wars, A-Stan) and you all turn up as asked and the dumb fuck hasnt planned anything and it all turns to shit and now the asshole wants you all to share the blame when he didnt even bother thinking things through?

Yeah that shit...

As for WW2, GTFO okay Ill give credit where credit is due, 12m enlisted men sent off to the European and Pacific theaters is commendable but use another analogy to come in sucker punch the dude your buddy is already whooping.

No disrespect to any of the men who fought those wars though, none of here are worthy of licking the ground they walked on. Our generation is weak as fuck

And let's not pretend like you were fighting either World War because it was the right thing to do. The U.S. only entered the wars because $$$

Please name one country that goes to war because it's the right thing to do and not because it benefits them.

How is the weather in Neverland this time of year?

Britain did in WW1.

Ruined them financially and Germany wanted nothing to do with them. They entered because they had guaranteed Belgium's Sovereignty.
