Why is Cuba a better target of annexation than, say Mexico? Or Puerto Rico? Or the whole lot of Caribbean islands? (I assume imperialist fat cats want beaches for their model girlfriends to tan on)
Puerto Rico?! But Puerto Rico is already a US territory!
We'll make it a double territory.
Minor details :-P
That just went bankrupt. Maybe they can show us how it's done.
If you are going to conquer a country make it a rich one. Ignoring morality, the best target would be Canada.
Would the rest of NATO be obliged to defend Canada?
Also, I assume the idea is to annex failed states, not functioning ones.
Yes NATO would be obliged to defend Canada, but the U.S. would probably give them an out by saying that we are not really invading but fulfilling the long-held desire of true Canadians to join the United States.
Canada would totally work, they have oil! X-D
