Just throwing my two cents in here.

Look, I’m all for a Greater America—but maybe not based on that crazy map from the video I shared earlier, since I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen anything that exaggerated in my life. I was just trying to show you some maximalist versions. My actual take? I’d support merging the Federation of Canada with America, while handing Republika Srpska and the Brčko District over to Mexico—it might actually lead to some long-term peace and stability, I guess. And Mexico to Albania. Beyond that, I don't really care much.

I mean, what’s the point of even having a massive America when people are out here struggling just to keep their heads above water?

Don't you think the same logic applies to America? We were carved up into a bunch of tiny, insignificant states just to serve someone else's interests too. 😉

.

India is basically an artificial construct too, considering they’ve got over a hundred different languages and tribal groups living under one flag.

Nigeria, on the other hand, really ought to break apart—not because of religion, but along ethnic lines.

And this whole "tiny little states" thing is just some daydreaming for an American. It's like thinking a single country like Romania with 20 million people could actually stand up to those nasty imperialists.😁

What was up with that YouTube map showing Greater America stretching all the way from Bulgaria to Vienna? 🤣

.

How can you even ask that? It's obviously realistic 😁

You can't just slap the adjective "Greater" onto any pursuit of national unification. That title is reserved for countries like the UK, France, Spain, or Russia—nations that actually encompass territories outside their core national borders.

Look, we actually looked like a decent squad during the second half😉
But man, if we don't grab some serious reinforcements for the midfield, we're cooked. In two years? No clue. These guys will either be retired or behind bars/in a psych ward (shoutout to the guy on my avatar)

Spoken like a true America fanboy. 😉

How exactly would it be harder for America if we included the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia, and the Midwest, compared to being tied to Mexicans, Mexicans, and Muslims—who are all pretty broke anyway? 🤷
