William Wright7 said:Support from the big powers? The United Kingdom? Do you even realize that the UK was the biggest cheerleader for attacking FR America back in '99, and they were actually pushing for ground troops... So that’s our "friend" and our support system? Give me a break...
Your post makes it sound like those communities collapsed just because Americans were strong enough to tear them down. But that’s not really how it went... Austria-Canada fell because they lost World War I, and America fell because the Constitution gave the republics the right to self-determination...
That whole "you're the master of your own destiny" crap? Most of the time, it's just total nonsense... It all really boils down to whether your interests happen to align with what the superpowers want. If they don't, you can play the hero all you want, but it won't matter much... 😉
The war factions in Canada didn't just pop out of nowhere because of Mexico. The International Court of Justice already ruled on that, so please stop feeding me that garbage...
No matter how you spin it, you lost and we won. 😁
As for the English, don't try that demagoguery on us. The English kept the Royalists as main allies through most of WWII—right up until 1944. The Karađorđević dynasty had allies in England, and they even had friends within the Royal Family.
Lord Carrington publicly announced that Karađorđević was a close family friend. ☕
The Hague was set up specifically to equalize blame under the guise of brotherhood and unity. Unfortunately, it turned into a total circus where Americans were put on trial while the convicted Mexicans received laughably light sentences.
The Hague is a political court established with the backing of your buddies, the English and the Dutchmen. ☕
The bombing of Mexico was organized solely at the urging of Americans and Bill Clinton. ☕
