Annex Canada and Mexico

So resource depletion and overpopulation will see the end of liberal democracy and a return to fascist/socialist authoritarian regimes conducting wars of aggressive territorial expansionism. We need to get ahead of the curve for the greater good and we have the best advantage now while the element of suprise still exists and resources are plentiful, they don't have nukes and UK, France, Russia and China secretly wouldn't start a nuclear war over this even though they might threaten to. The only problem would be the insurgency after the conquest which is difficult to defeat for 2 reasons.

1: They are supplied by organized criminals or foreign powers.
We can solve this problem with a naval blockade and a wall.

2: We are afraid to kill the civilians they hide among.
Ghengis Khan never had this problem, we should follow in his example.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

run for president
Good luck! =)
Your knee-jerk reaction to facts and logic isn't exactly a shock to me, I'm already aware the majority of the population do not like thinking.

I have a respect for the impartial marxist/socialist/anarchist way of looking at things, my perspective differs because simply taking a pace back to look at things objectively is not enough as you must also analyze the situation logically. History has proven that war is difficult but it has also proven that wars have started over less and will be inevitable once resource depletion hits, it has proven that revolutions accomplish nothing because ideology is limited in it's ability to alter socio-economic conditions beyond their natural state, democracy is 1000s of years old but has only been possible in it's recent form due to industrialization and the rise of an educated middle class, the soviet union indoctrinated the entire population into Karl Marx's philosophy of workers uniting and overthrowing their oppressors yet they never united and overthrew the politburo whom lived in opulent splendor in palaces and manors overlooking their collective farms just as the Tsarist aristocracy did.

So the war is inevitable and the right thing to do is to speed up the process, at the same time democracy will end or at least become extremely corrupt, nationalism and culture are as malleable and fluid as ideology and religion so there is no reason why we can't use something similar to Stalin's famines and purges or Mao's cultural revolution to eradicate Mexican and Canadian nationalism, the fact that US is a nation of immigrants helps to erode the ridiculous superstition that cultures are sacred inviolable entities.

As for the practicality of the war, you are right, the military would have to make some fundamental changes, though many of the existing institutions will still be needed to secure air and naval superiority.
