It's so unfair.

>Panamanians actually resist hard
no they didnt, panama city is pretty big and they were armed with shit weapons, if they actually resisted hard the city would have ended up like mosul

>>64407995 (OP)
>Panamanians actually resist hard; bitter urban fighting
>314 killed
if this is what qualifies for hard resistance for indios it is no wonder columbus took all their women

Inflicting 314 KIA with just small arms while the US military wages a combined arms campaign against you? Seems pretty intense, really

>>64407995 (OP)
>Unjust and illegal
Actually, it is totally just for America to impose its will on Central and South American "countries" by force. Especially countries that are only relevant because America decided to build something in them. To be honest, America should just make Panama a US territory. As for it being illegal, international law is a meme because there is no higher temporal authority than the nation-state, with all nation states existing with a state of anarchy between each other. The UN only has power because it borrows power from the US. If you disagree, you are retarded or coping.

Unfathomably based

no retard that's 314 dead indios

Eat shit commie.

Post-1991, an invasion of Cuba would go much the same way as Panama, no?

>>64409020
Oh. Nvm then. A whopping 2-3 companies worth of resistance

>>64409035
Maybe. Operationally speaking the Panamanians already had positive feelings towards America due to close relationships up to that point. Cuba the base layer is more anti US than positive. A fat deposit of food, new vehicles and consumer goods would buy their happiness in the first year tho

>>64407995 (OP)
you sound like a giant faggot

>>64409035
the US military would curbstomp the cuban army but it doesn't look like the country has a legitimate political alternative to the socialists, so it would turn into another endless occupation.
one castro is dead, the other is retired, wouldn't surprise me if at some point they silently drop the act and normalize relations with the US.

>>64409075
>>64409078
Just looked at the Wikipedia page for Cuban Army equipment. All of the vehicles are listed as having a status of "INS". Wtf does that mean?

based

>>64408982
t. hasn't read about the war at all

>>64409022
>Dictators installed to fight communists are communist
lol

>>64409035
Cuba is several times larger than Panama and has significantly better weaponry.

>>64409075
>cuba the base layer is more anti US
average cubans will start sucking americans dick the second they show up after living 80 years under extreme poverty

Source? A non schizo source, please.

>>64409735
And how exactly will the Cubans get richer if Americans invade? Need I remind you that The federal government is currently shut down because they can't draw up budget plans?

>>64409006
>t. the Judge from Blood Meridian
fuck off Lucifer

>>64409006
what is this moderate viewpoint? every country should become a state of the united states of america. every country should be america.

>>64410229
>a state
The senate is shit enough already. Maybe if EVERY country becomes A state that would be manageable but can you imagine Germany, France, The UK, The Netherlands, and Belgium all getting two senators?

>>64409006
this but unironically
n.b. this doesn't mean these invasions should happen but if they happened they're always just by ancient principles

>>64410236
>not wanting to see the NK and SK senators fistfight on the senate floor
alright commie

>>64410242
>allowing Korea to have 4 senators
big mistake

>>64410242
Invent deputy senators for territories which have no power but are obligated to sit in the senate house whenever it's in session

>>64410162
Need I remind you we can flatten the world on a whim? That's triple A credit de facto.

>>64410347
So can ziggerstan. Your point?

>>64410359
>He doesn't know
Anon, they're never gonna NOOK. It's all a bluff. America doesn't need nukes to change local topography.

>>64410162
>And how exactly will the Cubans get richer if Americans invade
prostitution, child support, extortion, and charcoal wrapped in toilet paper sold as Cuban Cigars™

I wish MajorSamm didn't unlist all his videos

>Americans are pissed at you
>declare war on them
Maybe I'm retarded but this seems like a suboptimal political decision

>>64410229
Yes, but without the people, unless they're there to be slave labor for wealth extraction. You don't want to continually water down the opportunities Americans have to sustain the browns, only to allow the land and resources to be centralized under them for the better good of man.

>>64410162
>general government debt
>US includes all state and local government debta
>Chinkland does not count local debt which constitutes at least 100% GDP if not far more

Cute.

>>64410229
>invade territory
>kill racially inferior darkies in said territory
>incorporate territory with all white population

It worked before and the US only has problems because we stopped doing it.

>>64410545
We're not talking about China here.

>>64410560
>The US has/had an all white population
This is your brain on /pol/. Don't do /pol/, kids.

>>64410162
easy question but GOOOD, by not being under an economic blokeadge the country will receive international capital to develop their profitable industries like rum/cubancigars/caribeantorusistspot

>>64410359
Does their shit even work? Isn't the equipment all rusted shut since the 1980s?

>>64409006
The UN doesnt have power at all. Because they borrow their supposed power not from the US but from the contributions of all member states. Too bad nukes are more powerful and grant you a veto.

>>64410347
Yeah, you and every other nuclear power, just two more weeks. At that point credit score is the least of your worries

>>64410162
