Sorry I don’t like the optics one bit. If it is the only way to unseat the head of hydra then I STILL don’t like it. Unless complete disclosure occurs after we will forever after be an open aggressive force. Bad enough the puppet hands are restrained by having to at least pretend we aren’t- take that and they will have tanks in the streets first chance to make some coin. No Thank You. Not a precedent I want set. Going after an Allie to take their territory absolutely NO. This has to be comms or a feint. Unless literally the fate of the free world rides on this I cannot imagine this being a legit tactic. Dump Europe by stopping cash flow but no more American blood shed for anything beyond protection of American soil or citizens.
Utah California Texas Kansas New Mexico all came from defending a territory that applied on its own. Ya know the same thing Europe wants to hate Russia for doing with the Dombass. Invading openly for territory is not something we have done.
I admit to grabbing the low hanging fruit BUT I figured my great great great granddaddy’s stories would not satisfy you. Lol
Super well documented history. Those of us who grew up in Texas not only learn it in Texas History but there are numerous sites with plaques and monuments built at the turn of the century as well as documentation from Mexico. Wikipedia has its uses and uncontested historical events that match many historical documents I think is a fair use.
