“no nation has the right to simply grab land from another.”

[mattes87]

Oh?

What about the U.S. government’s annexation of the northern half of Mexico or, to be more precise, the land grab that encompassed California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, and parts of Wyoming and Colorado?

Uh what about the US' annexation of the whole US from the native inhabitants?

Human endeavour to explore and settle cannot be legislated to any large degree. When two different nations are at odds over land or resources, war erupts and the loser must accept defeat. There is no higher judge to appeal your case in a lost war. It's human nature. The native Americans can do nothing but accept what happened centuries ago. They even have the right and freedom to live their life in any manner they please.

The natives of the North America continent are rumoured to have wondered over from East Asia and no doubt pushed other settled communities and nations out of their way or absorbed them. Can we hear their voices of an 'annexed' land and culture?

Shall we pick apart the Anglo-Saxons from the native Celts of Britannia? Face it, humans explore, they endeavour to conquer new lands and establish their will. If you don't like it, you fight. Unfortunately if you lose, that's the end of the argument.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that the US actually BOUGHT the land after we took it. No nation before, or since (that I can think of) has done that.

We paid Mexico for that land. Further they started and lost a war with us. Wars have consequences.

Why Did President Polk Want War with Mexico?


Answer
George Bancroft, Secretary of the Navy under Polk, recalled many years later that Polk had announced in 1845 near the beginning of his presidency that the acquisition of California was one of "four great measures" he hoped to accomplish while in office. Historian Sam W. Haynes has identified Polk as a "fitting representative" of the "expansionist impulse" known as Manifest Destiny. As a condition of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ended the Mexican War, the government of Mexico ceded to the U.S. a vast amount of territory that included the present state of California.

When Obama decides to give America back to the Indians, I know you will graciously give away your house and property without compensation because you know it is in the best interest for all the "native Americans" who marched in here from Asia and just took it because the land was here for the taking.

You seem to be ignoring the fact that the US actually BOUGHT the land after we took it. No nation before, or since (that I can think of) has done that.

If you can survive the experience feel free to try. Do you understand the error in your line of thinking?

Spain made this HUGE land grab, called LATIN AMERICA. These Latin American countries fight each other over borders and over illegal immigration all the time, no big secret even. But, when it's Hispanics violating north American borders and immigration laws, it's funny how fickle these children of Spain get about history and borders and human rights. Give it a break, you Hispanic hypocrites

So I guess you're suggesting we give it back to Mexico ?

Railing against Russia’s annexation of Crimea and vowing that the United States would never recognize Russia’s “illegal occupation,” Vice President Biden angrily exclaimed yesterday that “no nation has the right to simply grab land from another.”

"Children," you old bag? Do you still imagine you are anything but utterly transparent? Talk about a fucking hypocrite...

The future of Texas is independence. Texas has one of the largest economies in the world. Outside of the US, Texas could secure our prosperity, creating more opportunity and prosperity for Texans like you. An independent Texas means that we can apply Texas solutions to Texas problems and can end the days of being the "cash cow" for a bloated Federal bureaucracy and other failed states. In an independent Texas, the laws that we live under are created by Texans and not pseudo-socialists from other states. We can go from answering to the whims of 535 DC bureaucrats to living in a free Republic of 26 million Texans. We need your support to keep going!

Did he say it before we took land from Mexico?

No.

Then I'm not sure what your point is either.

On second thought, I'm more than willing to give Texas back to Mexico as long as they take Bush and the Canadian.

We already kicked their ass once..dont think they want a second round.

And thanks to bleeding heart liberals and their Dimocrat party, Mexico is now winning the slow motion war, the bombs they are dropping are the daily hordes of illegals who sneak into our country, take our jobs, enable our employers to pay slave wages, clog up our government services, clog up our healthcare system, bring violence to our streets, and take up space in our jails.

You have every right to keep the land you win in war, should you choose to do so.
Been that way for thousands of years; not sure why anyone thinks anything has changed.
