According to former United States general Ben Hodges, the withdrawal of US troops from Europe is only a matter of time. In an interview with SonntagsBlick, he advises Switzerland to prepare for war.

Now France has entered the chat too! But yes, your point that history gets messy depending on the lense being used remains (at least, I hope I am not misrepresenting you)
Well it was Spanish from 1763 to 1803. The USA began existing in 1776…in July of that year. When the French arrived, various Native American groups, including the Atakapa, Caddo, Chitimacha, Choctaw, Houma, Natchez, and Tunica tribes, lived in the area. You’re totally right, it was actually never Mexican.
Even the California and Oregon thing is sort of a stretch. Like I’m sure there were settlements per the historical record. But I very much doubt they were actually identifying as the Mexicans we know and love today. More like Spaniards and their slaves. There’s actually a really old history pre-USA of mejican exploration to create a trade route to China. Lots of Chinese people traveled for trade to the Philippines and Mexico and the same for Mexicans. Along the trade route you can find all sorts of intermixing… Mexipinos, chinexicans, japaxincans, etc.
It wasn’t called Louisiana before the French named it that, I was just having fun with the way you phrased to things
Yeah no worries. It got me googling.
