Because random barely inhabited islands don't care for independence and would probably be worse off with it.
Dominic Reyes
Many of those territories weren't inhabited before the colonial empires claimed them
Gabriel Brooks
France and Britain were allies, they fought in the past though. Read joan of arc, get pike'd
Zachary Cook
>Because random barely inhabited islands
What about our chunk of South America? I like it because it completely shits on America's Monroe Doctrine, desu.
Dylan Campbell
because the UK wasn't obliged to decolonize, unlike other countries and nobody cared about French overseas shitholes.
Lucas Thompson
because the world isn't run by twitter or the UN
Oliver Nelson
They are not colonies
Also for France, they voted remain
Anthony Perez
All Guyana's are in a pretty bad state to be honest
William Cruz
Because they gave them civil rights and voting powers (something that still doesn't exist in American colon-I mean territories.
Jonathan Perez
Pretty sure they're only considered colonies if they're being controlled against their will. Most of the British ones are just tax havens that should be nuked anyway desu.
Andrew Thompson
The Monroe Doctrine is about preventing new European influence. If you already had a colony, the US wasn't going to do anything about it. But if the colony went independent, the US wouldn't allow you to retake it.
Adam Miller
because they are not colonies anymore
Jack Collins
The US put pretty heavy pressure on the UK to get rid of their colonial empire.
Christian Butler
>unlike other countries and nobody cared about French overseas shitholes
you are undermining their importance
thanks to them we have the second biggest EEZ and we are present on every sea
(even though yes they're shitholes)

Good question. Time to seize these territories. We'll take French Guiana, Ascension, Saint Helena and Tristan da Cunha. Step it up, other countries, take what you want.
Tyler Kelly
fuck off yank
Aaron Howard
lmao you can't even manage your current country
Jeremiah Martin
Neither can you.
Benjamin Peterson
the monroe doctrine was an excuse to declare war on Spain and take over Panama from the French
no point in using it if they have no interest on the euro territories to vegin with
Zachary Richardson
Sure, but all Americans did while we were building the Panama canal was whine and not much else. The project only ended up in their hands because of a scandal making construction of the canal impossible. In hindsight, that was a mistake.
Eli Sullivan
we can, our former presidents aren't in prison.
Michael Garcia
Kiss my arse Yankee
Aaron Baker
Macron is gonna be tho
Dylan Robinson

Evan Allen
One of the places I mentioned was literally the prison of one of your leaders, the most important of all, actually.
Alexander Jones
Why is he based?
Henry Cooper
Why would you put a headless corpse in prison?
Angel Lee
napoleon wasn't a president, macaco, and we love him for what he did, do you love your former ones that stole from your poor people ?
Julian Powell
Just to be sure
Ryder Long
because he's trying to reform france what his predecessors were too beta to do.
Daniel Lopez
>napoleon wasn't a president
I never said that
>your former ones that stole from your poor people
Jokes on you, the poor people love him, exactly because he stole things, just like them. He was truly one of them.
