Manifest destiny is more alive than it ever was before. Mexican people want to be annexed & US's people want to annex them, with only the conservative governments of each territory standing in the way.




Annexing the northern 1/3 of Mexico makes perfect sense, manely Baja. It allows their scumbag ruler to keep most of his territory while giving his people the rights their government absolutely refuses to provide. Housing the new refugees might be solved by the increased land, but all of US is really future Califahans. The housing shortage is really a jobs shortage, but Baja would be the most valued land in the world, bordered on both sides by waterfront property.


Mexico was actually annexed in segments, over the years, to create Arizona & Texas. Roman empire 1.0 died when it stopped annexing territory. Roman empire 2.0 entered a monstrous inflation problem since it stopped annexing territory & began printing money in 1973. It's technically capable of annexing territory on other planets, but there's a lot of controversy about claiming land on other planets while annexing parts of Earth is fair game.



Empires are like corporations & as we know, the only way corporations can survive is by acquiring startups. The startups have the agility & incentive to be productive. The productivity of all those startups services the debt of the corporation which doesn't produce anything.
