The Golden Circle

A secessionist secret society wanted to take over the whole Gulf / Caribbean region to help perpetuate slavery. I'm not really sure how serious of an idea it was, and it'd be interesting to see how one-drop rule American racial hierarchy would mesh with the castas system

Until Canada makes the Jews give half of it back in 70 years because of "Muh colonialist occupation! Muh indigenous rights!"

Butthurt over creating a Jewish state wouldn't change a bit, much like butthurt over jews existing at all anywhere hasn't changed. Only solution is to let the Jews kill the uppity natives and get on with our lives.

Argentina was ready to invade Chile in 1978 over some islands in the Beagle Channel when the Pope offered himself to negotiate a settlement between the two countries.

You forgot about the colonial troops from India, Australia, South Africa, Hong Kong, plus her mercenaries.
You forgot about her allies, France and Russia.
France would get New Orleans back. And Russia would get Alaska in exchange for participating in the War against American Aggression.
Mexico would join in and get Texas back.
Columbia would take Panama, and the Philippines would revert back to Japan. The American South would able to get on with their lives independently in exchange for exiting the US Confederation.

In the 1930s, the US's military capabilities were a lot closer to the combined Commonwealth's than they were even in the late 1940s (by which time America would have outmatched them fairly easily).


India alone gives the British an amazing amount of resources and manpower to work with. Combined with it's African territories and the white dominions, that war would be a lot tighter than you'd expect.

Good point. I always thought of the Gulf Tonkin Incident as being inspired by the "Remember the Maine" of the Spanish American War. But in truth, these things don't take much "thinking" to set in motion, or to pull off. It is like gambling with someone else's money... only anonymously... plus you can cheat.

I don't think the one drop rule could survive integrating all those people into it. I think the castas system would be adopted. Here's another proposed country you might be interested in:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_of_Latin_Africa

I had a roommate who grew up in Nigeria and spent some time in Kenya. Even tough those countries aren't in "Latin Africa" he's very knowledgeable about the continent. I asked him if he thought this country could've worked. He said that he's not sure if it would've worked out in the long term, but it couldn't be any worse than how it's turned out.

All China and all Asia if possible. The spaniards wanted it all, remember the empire's duty was to evangelize everything, in exchange for being allowed by the Pope to conquer half of the world. Often the spaniards proved to be less pragmatic than the portuguese and to be honest europeans didn't have that much information about China in the 16th century.

Our goal was to prevent Communism from spreading to all of SE Asia and beyond. We did that. We also showed Europe that we would follow-through with our anti-communist ideals. A few decades latter Communism was defeated. My shoes are made in Vietnam by the children of the anti-capitalists (they get pennies, our companies make billions). Never minding the fact that 2 million of them died to our 55,000... Yead, I'd say we won. Or do you think the only way you win a war is by having your flag on top of a mountain?

Chile went to war with Peru-Bolivia and took what is basically current north Chile from them, leaving Bolivia landlocked.

Southern Patagonia was supposed to be Chilean but Argentina cucked them out. Although not completely, which further fuel Argenitinian designs over the tiny bit of Southern Patagonia in chilean hands and specially Tierra del Fuego and the whole sea passage.

I'm American and consider myself reasonably patriotic. I definitely don't have an interest in denigrating the US. I was even in the Army for 8 years. But I'm also a realist. It really irks me that so many Americans can't acknowledge Vietnam as a defeat simply because murica fuck yeah.

I think the refusal to see Vietnam as a defeat contributes to our current situation of repeating the exact same mistakes. We fight with the military's hands behind their backs, prop up weak unpopular governments that are corrupt as well as incompetent, and let ourselves get dragged into long expensive occupations without realistic plans for ending them. But as you say, Vietnam was a huge success, so it makes perfect sense to approach other conflicts the exact same way.....

Osama Bin Laden wanted a united Islamic hegemony - and believed that fighting the West (America) was the means by which to achieve all of his social and political goals. He spoke about this a great deal and you can read it for yourself.

Now let's look at America's foreign policy goal as the sole Superpower: Prevent another Superpower from rising, Prevent regional powers from form growing.

Now let's look at the Muslim World... Libya is in chaos, and has been cucked of their gold-back currency into the Central Banking System (Rothschild's privately owned piggy bank). Egypt is in chaos, it will take forty years before they regain the power they had in the 80's and 90's. Syria is in Civil War, they will not return to regional power status for generations. Iraq is sectarian-split and at War with itself. You could say our enemies have been taught to kill each other remotely with minimal supervision. Afghanistan is a puppet, Pakistan is our drone testing range (live fire), and Iran has been controlled by international agreements. Meanwhile the cost of Oil is low, Saudi Arabia heading off a fiscal cliff due to this and their massive social programs which can not be funded with declining oil production/prices/demand...

You want me to believe the USA did not win the post 9/11 conflict with the Modern World? Well gee, do you think we beat the Native Americans in the West? They still control Indian reservations... I guess we lost those wars too huh? You see sport, your edgy anti-American "lel" comments that want to paint us as stupid and blundering don't hold much merit when you consider the extent to which we are controlling the world. We have never been more powerful or in a better position relative to the rest of the world.

I doubt this is true.

The Brazilian military government didn't had an anti-communist foreign policy. Their policy was based on Third Worldism and South-South cooperation, so they sometimes would even collaborate with communist African governments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_military_government

>Brazil shifted its foreign policy to meet its economic needs. "Responsible pragmatism" replaced strict alignment with the United States and a worldview based on ideological frontiers and blocs of nations. Because Brazil was 80% dependent on imported oil, Geisel shifted the country from uncritical support of Israel to a more neutral stance on Middle Eastern affairs. His government also recognized the People's Republic of China and the new socialist governments of Angola and Mozambique, both former Portuguese colonies. The government moved closer to Latin America, Europe, and Japan.
