It’s wild to me that American pundits & columnists will continually muse about the annexation of Canada without any acknowledgment how that looks. In Ukraine, it involved mass rapes, kidnapped children, and hundreds of thousands dead. Maybe keep your little thought experiments to yourselves.

So maybe the US annexation of Hawaii would be another example (not that I think it was good or right, just banal).
Your characterization of American commentators is what I think is too pithy to be real.
