Name an unrequited atrocity America did to a neighboring country
The only major thing they did was wipe out the Native Americans, brutally

>>1945130
Name a single international coalition that has invaded the American heartland and wiped us out.

>>1945120

Atlantis.

Before? Probably Britain (duh), or if you want to get fancy, some Native American societies (I forgot who specifically) had developed systems of government that were pretty much a perfect republic.

Vote Hillary 2016

>>1945140
Yeah. And now we have a society 10x 'better' than the native americans ever did.

>>1945153
Yes we do. I though the "noble savage" meme is long dead.

>>1945163
The state they're in now is sad though. Everything they had to go through was pretty fucking rough.

I'm not sure why Canadians didn't have the same issues we did.

>>1945143
>>1945140

there's still plenty of time...
the parallel though is supposed to be how 'Murica always says "they hate us for our freedumbs" whenever someone gets pissed at them for the shit that they've pulled

>>1945149
Iriquois I believe

>I'm not sure why Canadians didn't have the same issues we did.
What are you talking about, the canucks treated their indians even worse than we did.

>>1945186
nah..I thought they both signed a bunch of treaties, and that was pretty much the end of it?

>>1945278

Pfff lol. You need to do some reading, junior.

Native from Canada here, shits pretty good. We get health insurance and can cross the border and work in the US if we want.

>>1947431
muh highway of tears

>>1945278
The US actually fought all those Natives in the West

In Canada, they got fucked over via treaty then had their kids taken away and put into missionary schools to try and suppress their culture

Thinking of moving to the US when Trump makes it great again

Nicaragua (CIA death squads)

Cuba (US's red light district before Castro)

Mexico (stole half of it)

And that's just for starters.

>>1945140
damn we literally stir up the pot in the third world to keep a sort of wasps nest barrier going to keep competing world powers from basking in resources, along with all the other muscly world powers. we doin that today weve literally just been sprinkling weapons over iraq and syria I mean wtf do people think we're doing there? saving people by dumping guns on them? we're just trying to keep mr putin out of the honey pot. that's our honey, in the long run. it's not very nice.

>>1947879
>Mexico (stole half of it)
Considering how shitty Mexico turned out to be, this should be considered a blessing.

>>1947879

>be Mexico
>can't keep control of your own states
>provoke a war with a much stronger country over a wayward state
>get ass kicked to the Rio Grande
>lose the then useless desert to the north, get paid

Obviously, Rome.

>>1945120

Rome.

>continuation of classic Greek culture, just as the US is a continuation of British culture
>preeminent economic and military superpower, never wanted to effectively rule the world but ended up doing so to defend its allies
>seen as gauche and low brow by many foreigners but very culturally dominant
>representative republic, US government was based on Republican Rome and US almost made Latin the official language of the USA
>multiethnic society unified by common culture and religious beliefs

>>1949134

Plainsniggers just stay poor because they make a conscious choice to stay in their shitty reservations and refuse to seek out better places to live with decent education, clean water, and no extreme economic turmoil. All this just so they can continue practicing their watered down shadow of ""Traditional (TM)"" culture which could be practiced just as well in an urban backyard by a person with a job, rather in the middle of nowhere bumfuck wasteland where there are zero opportunities to live a decent life.

When America sends its people they're not sending their best. They're sending people with lots of problems and they're bringing those problems to us. They're bringing slavery, they're bringing crime, they're rapists. And some of them, I assume, are good people.

>>1945153
Sure, but that hardly justifies genocide. Not saying modern day americans should be blamed for this though.

mass invasions, slavery, massacres, imprisonment, flag-waving, bible thumping, overwhelming military and a sense of superiority?

I gotta go with colonial Britain

>>1949163
Not an argument

>>1947400
That's actually pretty good

Which was originally spanish territory. Mexicans belong in the field shucking corn, not running countries.

>>1945120
It was the Swiss. They basically created their own confederation of cantons , and even today they value rule of law, democracy (including plebiscites), and mandatory arms-bearing for every male citizen.
