Canada? Greenland? Panama?

It has nothing to do with what is good for the American people or even good for Trump.

Notice how Iran waited until after the election to announce that there was no state plan to assassinate Trump ... Exactly as I stated in several posts before the election.

This is about Putin. It is about normalizing the idea that one country can annex part or all of another country if that's what "the people" of that region want.

It's going to be so funny to see every fucking dumbass in the republican party act shocked when Trump announces that Russian should be allowed to annex Ukraine. Like we did not see that shit coming from a mile away.

The call for liberty will not be silenced ... Something the Trump family cannot understand; they think it's something that can be negotiated - you just have to find the right price.

Hilarious too, that they are now calling for ethical behavior within their organization and that millions of people think they can learn anything about ethics from that degenerate, soulless, bunch. Learning ethics from anyone in Donald Trump's circle is like learning empathy and humanity from Adolf Hitler.

In case you haven't been keeping up with Trump's imperialistic ambitions...

Trump stirs tensions with remarks on buying Greenland, seizing Panama Canal

Greenland and Panama shouldn't worry too much. Trump's successes are limited to stuff like giving big tax breaks to the filthy rich and kissing up to sleazy dictators.

Colonialism went out of fashion after World War II as European powers gradually learned that colonies were not worth the trouble and expense.

If Trump had any brains he would have learned from Russia's failed and costly attempt to grab one of its former colonies – Ukraine. His ruminations about an American colonial empire are just another sign of his advancing dementia.

Ben Gurion Canal Project

The Ben Gurion Canal Project[citation needed] is a proposed canal project through the state of Israel. It would connect the Gulf of Aqaba to the Mediterranean Sea.[1][2][better source needed] David Ben Gurion, for whom it would be named, is considered the Founding Father of Israel and was the first Prime Minister of Israel.

The canal would rival the Suez Canal, which runs through Egypt and has had many disturbances in its history, such as the Israeli blockage through the Suez Canal and Straits of Tiran, Closure of the Suez Canal (1956–1957), Closure of the Suez Canal (1967–1975), and the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction.[1] It would be slightly more than 50% longer than the 120.1 mi (193.3 km) Suez Canal, at around 182 mi (292.9 km).[2]

Canada/US' quiet motive for backing Israel's genocide: the Ben Gurion Canal

from November 14, 2023 The United States, Israel, Canada and their allies are fiercely determined not to permit a ceasefire, considering their aligned interests. Their deliberate and joint offensive in the Gaza Strip is a clear indication of a long-term strategic plan, characterized by continuous air and ground attacks. This collaboration, which has tragically led to the loss of over 10 000 Palestinian lives, including a significant number of children, is not just a coincidence. It is the result of a well-coordinated military strategy, driven by shared economic and geopolitical objectives among these nations.

During the construction of the Panama Canal, American racial attitudes dominated the canal zone; workers were often segregated, with decent conditions for white workers:

And less luxurious quarters for everybody else:

I'm making a note about medici, because I tried to watch it but found it so dull I could hardly get through the first season. Can you reccomend any historical shows or films that do pass the vibe check?

off the top of my head, some personal favorites are: season one of Kingdom (킹덤) 2019 (period horror set in the Joseon era)

Barbarians (Barbaren) 2020 (arminius, baby!)

Heneral Luna & Goyo (philippine revolution)

Showtime’s The Borgias (all time favorite forever)

Wolf Hall (2015) (an adaption of Hilary Mantel’s novels)

// the fun thing about history is that it's so messy

so the US can be a horrible colonial power and also be one of the biggest forces of anti-colonialism in the world at the same time

like the mid-20th century is just the US having to deal with Britain and France and the Dutch trying to save their empires despite the fact that these are bad things

and then at the same time that it's trying to get them to stop that it's also setting up anti-commie states at any cost which leads to a mess

absolutely baffling foreign policy of 'anything but communism' which leads to somehow being both imperialist and anti-colonialist

only the US could be so baffling and against itself

there isn't much room in gwaren for proper farming, a few of the settlements have farms, but they are sparse enough that they can't possibly supply the others within the brecilian forest, meaning gwaren largely relies on trade. which is difficult when there are two (2) ways to reach the main city. this means one of elethea's main goals is improving the brecilian passage as a mode of transport. a canal from the end of the river (the brecilian passage) is dug out into a canal towards the imperial highway/kingsroad to make it more convenient. multiple trade barges make regular journeys up and down the passage, picking up merchants, shipments, etc to bring back to the city. gondola travel, yachting also become popular and stylish in the city proper with this development.
