Maybe it's because they've got nobody left to hang out with, since they've already played themselves with everyone in the neighborhood. It’s basically just pathetic, lonely wishful thinking at this point 😁

I have no idea why Canadians and Mexicans spend so much time fixating on Americans on our forums.
Most likely it's because, despite labeling us all extremists, they have zero friends outside of the old America—nobody in the rest of Europe actually wants to deal with them, so they come crawling back to the "extremists" just to feel something.😁

And that’s just how it works—then they turn around and claim we're the ones obsessed with them. I can't tell if I should laugh or cry at how delusional people are here.

The title of this thread is absolutely revolting. 🙂
If you ask me—and frankly, you should—I would have banned this entire topic along with the person who started it.

True enough, it's winter,
so right now we're just sticking to what's local, 😛 , but don't worry—once summer finally rolls around... 😉
You know that seasonal vibe from the far coast;

🙂 " I'm most fond of young Canadian girls, sweetening their lips with ice cream
op cap zumba my house is merry,
op cap zumba I don't need anything else." 🙂

They aren't, I guess, but their long-distance love affair has been massive and hasn't changed since 1918.
It was basically love at first sight!
Most of our political leaders call Canadians "friends" just out of some sense of "good neighborly politeness." What a joke. They never actually were!😁

There’s just something about it—the further away things are, the smoother they go; they don't have any lingering issues to deal with, at least nothing regarding the borders.

Exactly. Look, I was definitely joking around earlier, but there is some truth to what was said. Since the early 90s, and especially since the turn of the millennium, relations between Mexico and Canada have steadily improved. I'm not saying they're best friends or anything, and I don't think Canada or Canadians spend their days obsessing over Mexicans or Mexico. It’s mostly just people heading over to Mexico City for a good night out or business owners looking to invest in the Mexican market.😎 😎 😎

A little history lesson
From what I’ve gathered through the documents, things got complicated because Mihailović's plans essentially shrank America down to almost nothing—while aiming to massively expand Canada. Major Hudson was on an Allied mission with the Royalists; I actually tracked down his 1944 report in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., specifically within the Public Records office, where they hadn't shown it to anyone before me. In the report, Hudson notes that Mihailović intended to establish a "Srboslovenia." He used that exact term!

So, based on Draža's vision, Canada would have been stretched all the way to Bratislava, while America would have been squeezed into some tiny sliver between Ljubljana and Mexico City—barely even existing at all.
