            what my (trotskist) history teacher told me is that Paraguay was being able to develop itself into the first regional power in South America. England didn't like that and pushed their vassal states (Brazil especially) into war against them to halt their progress.

            All the dipshits baited Paraguay, it wasn't an expansionist move, they made a move in the Uruguay civil war after Brazil had made a move.

            And even if it was an expansionist move, it would have been great if they succeded, the Paraguay government wanted to industrialize the region, fucking Paraguay had the most industry at the time including their own fucking railways. But industries are a big no-no for the liberals ruling Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, cuz that would made their masters (UK and France) upset.

        They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
        But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
        'Cause if another country invaded the hood tonight
        It'd be warfare through Harlem and Washington Heights
        I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
        I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
        I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the South, my removed
        I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my removed
        You ever clock someone who talk shit or look at you wrong?
        Imagine if they shot at you and was rapin' your moms

        that said, :xi-plz:

        Eh, the idea of a foreign, or at least extra-continental military invading the U.S. has been pretty much a libidinal fantasy since like the Gadsden Purchase. The U.S. is just too goddamn big and its population centers too disparate for a land invasion to have sticking power.

        Hell even Lincoln recognized this:

        "All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide."
