Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What makes you think he won't proceed to throw the "illegals" out of these new American states?

Venezuela has a population of Vietnam around the start of the Vietnam War, is 20% larger than Afghanistan, and largely mountain and jungle. America is incapable of invading and occupying them.

He'd have to kill them. The blowback would be harder if he tried to get them out. Every south American country would go to war.
