Politics aside, “Gulf of Mexico” sounds way cooler. Easier and more fun to say, too.
Ahh the important things that will improve all American lives
This is the first step to annex another region.
- Historical Claim
- Support separatist or militia in these region
- Fabricate or Encourage attack on the border
- Impose light economical sanctions
- People in such country will get fed up and will increase clashes with the government.
- Government start anti-usa imperialism and start military campaign against them.
- USA say they are committing genocide or something and question their sovereignty
- USA announce special operation to restore peace
Cycle continue ….
We saw this in Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Ukraine and many other countries that the USA has admitted funding different group inside them to destabilize them. But now it seems trump plan or asked to do the same with both Mexico and canada.
They can justify it with Mexico because of drugs and immigrants, but it is harder for Canada. They US news tried to blame canada for “terrorist” and “illegal immigrants” but it seems they are following the same stories with Mexico.
ah yes, the annexed regions of Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
Well the US can call it the Gulf of bullshit all they want, for the rest of the world it IS the gulf of Mexico. Renaming it doesn’t give them anything extra, or any rights.
Its actually just really really petty and little, just some nonsense so that his base can say " look ge is really working hard for us!"
Eehhh, not to rain on your parade but in Ukraine it was Putin’s Russia doing the funding and support, not the US.
Not that it matters much, the US has a long history of fucking over other countries, Nicaragua, chile, Iran, just a few examples.
Either way, they’ve never been as brazen and petty about it
President Freedom Fries can call it whatever the fuck he wants. That doesn’t make it internationally recognized.
The reason Trump is doing this is so that we are not focusing on the rift in the party over H1B visas.
Where the fuck are the Democrats hitting the issue while it’s hot with 3 interviews a day agreeing with the average Republican over Trump and Musk?
where the fuck are the democrats?
Pointing fingers at each other and drifting further to the right, probably.
Ignoring everyone. Then when it’s election season again, they’ll act like you’re a Russian troll who just started talking to spread division.

I feel like it’s not great to say “Congress is already prepping” instead of “Marjorie Taylor Greene is prepping legistlation”
She has been legitimized at this point, unfortunately. She has committee assignments and the backing of the Speaker so there’s now a high likelihood she has the leverage to get bills passed. Also the incoming GOP trifecta means she will be far far more close to the political center of Congress than ever before.
Rational National pointed out that the ‘Gulf of America’ name was actually a joke Colbert made back in 2010 when he was still doing the Colbert Report.
Roughly 2 minutes into this video:

Old article about MSFT donating to Colbert’s ‘Gulf of America’ charity aimed at cleaning up / mitigating oil spills from rigs that broke after Katrina:
We live in the Demented Clowns timeline, honk honk.
Well that’s a depressing watch…
I hope he doesn’t hear about the Gulf of California. He is not going to understand that the Californias were Mexican and, thus, the Gulf is still named after the fact. He’s going to claim some wacky s*it like “the name indicates it belongs to one of our states”, “Mexicans are trying to steal California’s assets”, or something like that.
The symbolism is on top of the “warmongering on allies” rhetoric, that could, in this case, push for a war on Mexico or takeover of its territorial rights to oil extraction in the Gulf. The lust over Greenland is its strategic role in attacking/defending Europe. The resources there are very expensive to extract due to infrastructure needs. The Panama canal is to stop Chinese trade/influence, but usual US policy is threats/coups instead of offering market prices. Panama canal fees are high due to droughts related to global warming which Trump wants to increase beyond reparability.
whew! I’m glad we solved all the REAL problems so now we can focus on this shit!
But then they bitch about China and their wrongdoings in the South China Sea
You mean the Far West Extra-American Sea
Yeah because a stupid old man wanting to change the name is totally the same as building islands and putting military bases on then
You’re right, but I worry this is an expansion of rhetoric similar to Taiwan. “It’s always been our gulf. They’re using land on our gulf.”
