You will be amazed by the power of gerrymandering.

Planes with Americans? Gander?
As an European this sounds like there was a refugee crisis between Canada and the US. What happened lol? -
The link I posted of the trailer of Come From Away sums it up pretty well. But basically, airspace got locked down in America on 9/11 and hundreds of planes that were on their way had to be grounded. Gander, a small town of about 9000, took in about 8000 passengers. Due to the central location of Gander, it took an absurd amount of planes in and all those people had to go somewhere. We set up emergency shelters but most people just stayed at someone's home for free until the plane was ready to go.

September 11, 2001, all planes were grounded in North America, and Gander has an airport under flight routes.

Well the veneer of respectability politics scratched. It's like people getting drunk it's not that alcohol makes violent, or sobby, or anything in particular: It disinhibits (by anaesthetising the frontal lobe before everything else), allowing already-existing but usually under control tendencies to break through.

That's a lot of work, I appreciate it.

The US has been a rogue state for decades. Just that they used to be smart enough to keep some countries in the empire aligned without direct military force.
-
Post Sept 11, (lots of) flights were grounded for several days.

Holding a country that doesn’t want to be held is very different than winning it, as the US and other countries have repeatedly learned.
And the unpopularity at home would make Vietnam look like nothing.
No, it would be a disaster for the US. A very different one than Ukraine, but maybe even worse.

With life time of insurgency.

Russia wants it. They want our mineral rights in our North. They can get that for pennies if we lose our sovereignty.

They're not even hiding the racism any more.
