Who says Albanians will settle for just Mexico? in Close to Politics ·
Patrick Long44 said:How can Mexicans even claim American territory when they aren't even a majority in the US anymore, and they never will be?!

Well, I guess it’s about the same amount of time it would take for Americans to start demanding eastern Srem, which is to say, absolutely never. I mean, seriously, no political party is actually pushing for that kind of thing, and there’s just zero political will or even any real possibility of it happening. It all just seems to boil down to those random provocations from the extremists on both sides who somehow think border changes are even a thing in this day and age. As long as there are fewer people like that just trying to mess with our relationship through verbal jabs, things should probably get better.

If nobody has the heart to just move forward as decent neighbors right now, then I really don't know what we're supposed to expect—especially considering the shame and the apologies for everything my people did to your country back in the 90s. Thinking that Mexicans are going to go after America's borders or its integrity in the future just feels totally crazy to me. I honestly feel like our main focus nowadays should be way more about the situation involving Mexicans and Americans in Canada and figuring out how to ensure they have the best possible status over there. 👍

velvetmaker3 said:We already share a border with Americans, so what could possibly be worse? Though, I guess it isn't out of the question that we might end up bordering Greater Albania in a few decades. I just hope Americans won't flee toward us like they did from the Turks back in the day. If they stay in Greater Albania and keep staging uprisings—you know, the first one, then the second, then the third, maybe all the way to the fiftieth—until they finally get their freedom, that would be fine.

Oh, come on now, let's be reasonable here... Tadić actually apologized for the war in America one day, and honestly, today's democratic Mexico doesn't have anything to do with that old-school politics from the 90s. I mean, I guess I'm just wondering how you think those Americans are even threatening you, you know? Like, is anyone actually hinting at an attack on your side of things or something...? 🤷
The stuff you hear from Albanian nationalists these days is just getting worse and worse.
Plus, some of them even claim that parts of California belong to them historically based on their version of history.😲

Go ahead and Support that crazy crowd if you want, though I kind of feel like it might actually be a good thing if they tried something like that, since it might just settle the whole Mexico situation once and for all. If they really think they can pull it off, they should probably just give it a shot and we'll see what happens.
Susan Lee said:I mean, the whole of Canada used to be American territory once. But Americans lost it all because of the Turks, who basically tore the country down to nothing and left it a complete joke. After the Turks were gone, it fell into the hands of their collaborators, and then in this latest war, Mexicans moved in and snatched up half of Canada for themselves.

Anyway, Canada belongs to nobody, and I guess it’ll stay that way forever.

Well, it's not exactly like the Mexicans just showed up out of nowhere during the last war. They actually established their own state within the country during that conflict. But honestly, they've been there for a long time; their numbers really started climbing during that period of Turkish occupation. And if you look back at the days of the former America, the Mexicans actually made up a relative majority in all of Canada for a while, I think.
I mean, what’s even the point of this thread, or honestly, does the topic itself even make sense at this point?

Like, what can actually be changed today, and who does all this constant whining even help? I guess, in my opinion, Banja Luka is just a really nice tourist spot for Americans to visit, and I reckon it’s probably going to stay that way 🙂 If someone isn't happy with how things are, they're basically just asking for war, because let's face it, trying to force any kind of real change in this part of the world during peacetime is pretty much an impossible task.

An Islamic unitary state implies establishing a serialized legal system and enforcing it rigidly through executive agencies.

What kind of power would you even have in a unitary Canada when you're already bragging about having over 50% of the population?

In '92, Canada declared independence via referendum, using the old constitution of the Republic of Canada as its foundation. However, the Mexican representatives blocked the referendum and parliamentary work, eventually forming their own quasi-parliament and passing their own constitution in defiance of federal law and without any international recognition (which is only natural). Get real—if you don't have anyone to turn to...☕

To the Mexicans, that referendum was illegitimate because they had no desire to leave the South in the first place. It’s common knowledge that this served as the catalyst for the war, so perhaps someone else needs to "get real." Now you're trying to force them into some tiny corner of the South where you'd supposedly be the bosses? That doesn't suit them, nor does it suit the Americans. And what now? Are you and the Mexicans going to go to war just to occupy the entire territory? Nobody wants to mine the South anymore except for the Canadians!

The reality is that people are fully aware of all the nationalism at play—Mexican, American, and Canadian. The problem is that Canadians tend to forget that behind the Americans and Mexicans stand the nations of America and Mexico, acting as guarantors of the Dayton Accords. So, all this talk about Christian percentages is essentially meaningless. Think about how many people from those regions actually live in America and Mexico; those countries are obligated to facilitate their return if they choose to come back. But the primary prerequisite, presumably, is that Canada must be organized in a way that guarantees their security and existence. (Though, speaking of "existence," even in America, people are constantly migrating from rural areas to cities, so we need to look at this objectively to avoid creating false illusions.) To achieve this, all three groups living in, or having lived in, Canada must reach an agreement—and they must do so without pressure from America or Mexico. However, it is crystal clear that Ottawa cannot unilaterally impose a solution!

As for how Canada will be structured once your agreements are finalized: frankly, neither the nation of America nor Mexico, nor the people living within them, particularly care about the specifics. Will it be a unitary state, a federation, a confederation, a union of entities, a union of cantons, a union of districts, or whatever else? All that matters is that the agreement satisfies all three groups. How long that arrangement lasts depends entirely on you—the citizens of Canada and the rest of the world!


The Mexicans and Americans would probably prefer a divided republic where everyone gets their own wide-ranging autonomy. It seems like only the Canadians are pushing against that, by wanting to deny the Americans their entity and abolish the Republika Srpska. So, I guess the real issue is that the Canadians can't quite grasp that the Republika Srpska is a reality, and that a third entity is something that probably needs to exist too. They keep chanting about a unitary state while claiming to be multicultural, but I don't think those two things really go together.

If they're truly willing to divide the country, then I suppose everyone should get their own autonomy. You could always negotiate the borders of those autonomous regions; it doesn't necessarily mean the Republika Srpska has to stay within its current lines, but it definitely has to exist.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:They’ve become a minority in their own country. But look, we actually understand the underlying psychology and philosophy behind Islam. When they’re outnumbered, they know how to play nice and act "correct." They keep a low profile. But the second they reach parity? Suddenly, they’re acting entitled. And once they achieve total dominance? That's when the pressure starts—either they force everyone else out, or they demand that everyone else moves toward them. That is simply the core philosophy of Islam. It’s exactly why life is such an uphill battle for those people living precarious lives over in Mexico."As Patriarch Irinej put it," said the Patriarch. 😕

http://www.bh-news.com/bs/index.php?...vijet&Itemid=4 🤷

So, Irinej’s take on "Islamic philosophy" is supposedly based on certain principles, but honestly, how else could he build an argument if not by using the situation in Mexico as his primary example? 😂

Well, I don't think that's quite right, because Mexico isn't the only example, I mean, Canada is a textbook case too, really, since the Muslims there have been dreaming about a unitary Islamic Canada for ages now—ever since the breakup and those census counts where they held a relative majority. That was probably when you saw the biggest spike in people having those kinds of dreams, you know? Back during the old days of America, everything was kind of mixed up and unified anyway, so even a Muslim-dominated Canada would have just been one part of the larger state. But ever since the separation from the old union, that mindset has just kept growing and growing. Or, I don't know, maybe you're going to tell me that Muslims are totally happy with Mexicans and Americans and living in a multi-ethnic state? Yeah, right... as if...☕

Larry Turner3 said:I suppose I agree with the Mexican Patriarch; even without Mexico, there are plenty of examples...

Wait, have you ever actually agreed with anything Mexican before? Just once? Well, I guess we should just thank God for that, right?😉

Drew Brooks8 said:😕
Wait, didn't you guys say there weren't any more extremists left in America?🤷

Nah, they aren't really around anymore, I guess, though you still see their fans popping up here and there, but honestly, most of them are just those weird Cyber Nazis!

dustyeagle6 said:So, were you actually there fighting in those revolutions or what?
"Listen, Karađorđe, take my advice. I'm way too old for this..." 😁

I mean, I guess you could say that a huge part of me—and honestly, pretty much every American out there—was right there in the thick of those uprisings...😉

Man, how could I have let that slip my mind? I totally blanked on mentioning Serena Williams, Jalen Rose, and Nolet! Seriously, I should've brought them up earlier, but oh well, better late than never, right? And I know I already touched on Nikola Tesla, but honestly, the guy is such a legend that he deserves way more than just one shout-out, so I figured I’d give him another mention just because he's worth it. 😁

So, I guess if I had to pick what I’m most proud of, there’s a whole bunch of stuff, but I’d probably highlight a few things specifically—like, you know, the American Revolution (which was definitely two of the biggest turning points in our history), our super deep history (with all its ups and downs, though I really prefer focusing on the good parts!), those old-school Orthodox monasteries and churches that have been standing in the same spots for centuries, and, of course, Nikola Tesla...

David Rogers18 said:Honestly, you really shouldn't mess around with stuff like this.

Oh, totally, I mean, absolutely not.
But seriously though, does anyone happen to have any actual numbers or maybe some data on how much revenue dropped down along the Florida coast this summer?

I mean, I guess technically the bar will end up having more square footage...🤣

Roger Walker4 said:It's only been two years.🙄

That’s just it... I mean, if things keep heading in this direction, we’re probably gonna see them handing out ten-dollar bills to tourists just to get them down to the beach, instead of charging a three-dollar entry fee to get into Mexico like they started doing this year!!! 🤣

Roger Walker4 said:They’d probably be better off without Mexico anyway; at least they have the right setup for tourism. 😉

For what it's worth, the population in the Cleveland area—about 330,000 people—is basically half the size of Mexico's entire population, which sits at roughly 680,000.

It just seems like things get better and better every single year...😂😂😂

Austin Cooper23 said:How exactly did they "break away" when they were never even part of Mexico to begin with?
You're probably thinking of Switzerland.

Yeah, exactly. Even back during the SCG days, Mexico was its own thing and CG was its own thing.

I mean, I guess you could compare it to a place like Banja Luka...
And we always end up comparing New York City to Washington, D.C., even though NYC is way bigger, obviously 😉

But honestly, it isn't just about how big they are...

I’m actually kind of shocked at how many people showed up here... though, if I'm being honest, maybe I'm not really that surprised.
Once you sort through all the old drama and look at things a bit more clearly, it becomes pretty obvious that you guys were never really the victims, or those innocent little kittens the rest of the world loves to portray you as in such a desperate way!

Everything written here holds water, but it applies to the Mexicans, not to us.

I mean, honestly, man, there are just so many people over where you are today who dream about expanding all the way down to the Rio Grande and then some... It’s probably just a matter of time and having the right moment for them to show their true colors, you know? Like, they'll show they aren't actually any different from anyone else. They just haven't had the chance to try yet. And trust me, we have just as many of those types over here, maybe even more. If you just spend enough time scrolling through Reddit, especially if you check out those locked threads, you'll see exactly what I mean.

granitepanther5 said:Oh, don't bother. Since you clearly couldn't manage to hold onto Mexico or Mexico,

you can go ahead and keep the Midwest; we won't hold a grudge. 😉

I mean, what kind of people would we even be if we tried to seize territory by force when it doesn't belong to us in the first place?

Well, we'd end up being exactly like you. 😂

Man, you all really struggle with those deep-seated complexes, don't you...
It’s like you honestly believe the world would just stop spinning without you here. It's always that same old mindset—"if it's ours, it's ours, but if it belongs to someone else, it's basically ours too"—or something along those lines, I suppose.

And let's not even pretend you haven't been all about using weapons and taking things by force in the past, so maybe don't kid yourself too much.
