That's only part of it. The British empire was still a looming threat to the early creation of the US. Capturing and annexing Canada would have been strategically pragmatic because it would have increased America's defensive posture. By controlling the entire Atlantic coastline, the British face a harder time bringing an invasion force to North America. Additionally, seizing Canada would have reduced or cut off trade from that area.
Besides Korea and Vietnam being obviously defensive, a lot of parts of wars were defensive, and calling the entire thing a war is arbitrary.
America ran away at khafji where it could have fought a major defensive battle, it also failed to send anything to France and the Americans in 1945 were weaker than France in 1940.
America doesn't have anyone that would attack it so it's obviously all going to be offensive wars overseas, but within those wars it spent a lot of time either doing nothing or defending.

Frick you, killing people and living in the wilderness is based and how we were intended to live. You could never understand though seeing as you're some kind of East Coast homosexual larping as one of those soft E*roBlack person breeds. The loss of the frontier was the death of our once great nation, and you weak disgusting homosexuals celebrate that it's gone. Your slave family probably came here through Ellis Island with the rest of the trash, but mine came in the 1600s and immediately went as far West as they could and started fighting and fricking Indians. They lived like men and despised your kind. Your scalp deserves to dangle from my belt. >b-b-but you would die back then
GOOD. AT LEAST I WOULD DIE IN A MEANINGFUL WAY AND I WOULD BE SPARED HAVING TO SHARE THIS WORLD WITH "PEOPLE' LIKE YOU.
>killing people and living in the wilderness is based and how we were intended to live
By who exactly? Apparently whoever determined this also determined that spending your time crying on a mongolian basket weaving forum fits the intended way to live though. >proceeds to ramble off a multitude of baseless schizo assumptions to make him feel better as he malds >contradicts himself by expressing pride in his ancestors that civilized and cultivated the land
moronic LARPer, many such cases.
>The loss of the frontier was the death of our once great nation
Yeah bro, we should've just kept a large chunk of the country undeveloped as a game preserve for neolithic cultures. The founding fathers were unironically a bunch of moronic brainlets to think they would just never run out of land for their ideal agrarian-based republic.
Great, another one of these homosexual larpers having their schizophrenic ramble about "uhh the world would be so much better if...". No. Shut the frick up. Just because your feeble brain doesn't have the capacity to socialise with other people and hold meaningful relationships outside of online friendships with likeminded morons, doesn't mean your technological pessimism is justified. You love the outdoors so much? Why don't you frick off there and never come backq.
That is literally what I am going to do at the end of this year. I just need to work a few more months and I'll be have enough saved up to get out there and live the way I want to live. >capacity to socialize
Actually, that's a core reason why I'm getting away from homosexuals like you. You people don't socialize, you just use people for your own ends like the sociopaths you all are. Frick you, frick every psued on this board, and I hope you all die horrible meaningless deaths. I would kill every single one of you if I could get my hands on you, saving myself for last to ensure the job was done. None of you have any worth as a human being and will never contribute anything to the society you claim to love so much.

This is copypasta-tier. Keep it up and your parents will never find your corpse after you disappear and die a week into your odyssey
You must be like the last based Anglo in the world. Although to be fair it WAS the Anglos that created modernity both technologically and philosophically, so I’m not sure if the Tedpill can be combined with WASP supremacism. t. swarthy german-irish Ellis Island trash
The logical conclusion to any opposition towards Manifest Destiny is kowtowing and going back to Europe. It is a philosophical zombie.
Europeans won. Get over it. Try and take the land back. I dare you.
>Japanese launch a surprise attack to try and destroy your navy. >They also invade the Philippines, which you own. >You fight back. >This is somehow not a war to defend your nation.

Texas wasn't part of Mexico dullard.

Yes it was homosexual. It was a territory in revolt.

Texas won their independence dumbass. The Texian government invited American soldiers in their territory to protect themselves from a 2nd Mexican invasion. Which did happen which sparked the Mexican American war.

War of 1812. Also, that pic is based.
The War of 1812 was America's excuse to try to take Canada
War of 1812 was America defending against British naval imperialism assaulting American merchant ships
Also;
American Revolutionary War. Another defensive war.
>American Revolutionary War.
Same as the War of 1812. They were butthurt that Britain wouldn't let them expand westward and murder native Americans

>The British empire was still a looming threat to the early creation of the US.
Not really
The British still had a much larger navy and army. They were kidnapping American sailors and invaded. What do you mean, "not really"?
America literally started the war. They declared war first lmao
>America literally started the war. They declared war first lmao
In response to Britain's aggression and to solidify its independence.
>ending a sentence in lmao
Thank you for demonstrating you don't know what you're talking about.
Funny how the americans are always in the right and every war they are in is somehow justified really makes you think
You're bad at online discourse and probably a disgusting leaf. You should consider killing yourself.
at least he is not wrong like you are
Trying to tie in the Atomic bomb to 9/11 is as utterly moronic as claiming that the IRA were mad at England over the firebombing of Dresden.
After the British impressed sailors and attempted to stop USA from trading with France
That was a tertiary goal, if any goal at all

My family is descended from border reivers, not those posh southern gays. We thrive in savagery and prefer it to civil society.
Does that justify caving indian childrens head in with a axe?
Yes, read Marx, it was historical necessity.
You will never have a socialist state.
You'll never have your decolonial state either, so moot point
Marx supported the U.S in the Mexican American War
Pequot war

The impressment issue wasn't even real. They were impressing British people. They let them go if they could prove that they were US citizens

The US was knowingly provoking Japan and Germany. Why do you think the America First movement existed?
this daily reminder to all they were supplying arms to the british at the start of ww2 all under the guise of being neutral
>hecking noooooo you can't just give weapons to your friends...that's cheating!
Your directly supplying arms to your allies all while under the facade of being neutral to germany sounds very israeli to me
>DAAA JOOOOOZ
Took you long enough /misc/troony. Germany lost.
>Refusing to sell Japan oil actually means that you're the aggressor.
moronic take.
>Not selling oil to fund your war machine is "deliberately provoking"
Literal child having a tantrum in the supermarket logic
Being defensive bad.
Being aggressive good.
You know about how life is taking action? Being defensive is literally the basedcuck opposite of that
Your queen just died, shut up
Mexicans fired first in the Mexican American war.
>nooooo you can't just defend yourself when a foreign invader marches in your territory
>your territory
Texas wasn't part of Mexico dullard.
You do realize that isn't an Abrams that soldier is standing on right?
Yes it was homosexual. It was a territory in revolt.
Texas won their independence dumbass. The Texian government invited American soldiers in their territory to protect themselves from a 2nd Mexican invasion. Which did happen which sparked the Mexican American war.
If you think America wasn’t attacked first in WW2, you are absolutely moronic
So they are doing it right then?
what is Pearl Harbor and 9/11, you commie homosexual?
Inside jobs.
America provoked both of those attacks. It's called blowback
Not selling oil isn’t a war crime private gomez.
Japan is an island nation with no resources. Not to mention the US was already arming and lending money to the Allies
WW2?
https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=2149
Japan was defensive
America was already waging war against Japan in all but name
>i am no longer trading with you = declaration of war
moron. Remmeber there was never a blockade around Japan
