Should America ditch Pakistan for India?

You're just pissed because your colonial legacy will never live up to theirs

Not pissed. Proud.

Seriously, what do you have? the Phils, SK and half credit on Japan?

SK and Japan don't really count. Phils, Cuba and Puerto Rico are our greatest hits. Maybe Hawaii, as well.

Plus the Phils was sloppy seconds...

Pretty much all our colonies were stolen from Spain.

Let's not forget Guam...

Cuba?

You don't even get half credit on that.

Never heard of it.

Dude, we still have Gitmo years after ya'll got run out of Hong Kong.

Never heard of it.

It's a US military colony ("territory") that came free with the Philippines.

I forgot Iceland during WW2. You ****ers took that without asking, that's basically like the Soviet invasion of Poland during WW2.

Afghanistan and Iraq are future prospects. Remains to be seen if the colonial project will work.

We got run out by the Nips in '41. Haven't been back since. Though from what I've heard half of the city has Canadian passports.

Drake, it's not colonialism if you're not ****ing their wimmins and exploiting them economically. Cuba's more our colony than it is yours right now.

If Iraq was a US colony, there's no way in hell US oil companies would've been completely shut out of the Iraqi oil contracts that were just awarded. No, the US is far too stupid (or moral, take your pick) to engage in real imperialism in Iraq/Afghanistan.

Dude, we still have one of their best harbors and are continually stealing away their most valuable natural resource (baseball players). The last time they got uppity, we blockaded their ass. They're our *****.

Which leads back to an earlier point. You guys really suck at it.

Colonialism in Afghanistan is like tomato farming in the Sahara. Unless....


Hmmm, I wonder if maybe the Chinese would be interested in purchasing...uh....some of this stuff we found in Afghanistan.

That's good, ruthless British colonial ingenuity on display.
