Should America Annex Cuba, Alberta, and Greenland? Yes, Says Petersen.

I disagreed with this. And it's not because I don't think I think America's the greatest country in the world. So that's not I at the same time. I think we could do a lot better than America.

And so the idea that I want to just make America more global. I I want I want competition with America. One of the things that America does that bothers me the most is it believes that its values hold worldwide. And I think I while I do think American values are better than most of the rest of the world, I think this ultimately holds the world back because we don't see experimentation, we don't see new things.

And so I took the disagree on this because I, even while having a mildly

positive view of some um colonization and and uh expansion of sort

of Western European or American values, I think that you know I I just don't I I don't want a global America.

America is already too global.

And so this idea that America should be uh, you know, focusing

on, you know, America is a messed up country, and I I just don't I don't see feel like we need to be made.

If you could live in a world and it was and it was a one world government,

and it the government was the U.S.

Constitution, and that was it, and the whole world was governed by it, or you could live in a world that was hundreds of governments and they were all governed like North Korea. Would you rather live in the one world government that lives under the Constitution, or would

you rather live in one of the North Koreas? Obviously, I would rather. Yeah, I don't think you get, I don't think you get a hundred North Koreas if you actually have a hundred.

I don't I do I think naturally governments tend towards authoritarianism. I think if you think 100 North Koreans, I think we're going to expand. There's going to be expansion, new colonies will will open up. The moon is going to be uh contested territory. I think that we should make the moon a state, and it should be our state, and we should control it. And it's yeah, New Ham New Hampshire. I mean, I don't I don't I don't think New Hampshire should secede, but I think that we should I think that eventually I think Cuba should become an American state.

I think that Cuba it would there would be far less conflict.

Uh the reason why Alexander Hamilton argued for

the Constitution and for the state of the United States.

And so and Alberta too. I think that Alberta should secede from Canada and become Alberta.

I'll give you Alberta. Sure. I'll take Alberta. There we go. Yeah.

Now there's something I can support. Now, if New Hampshire could start to like peel away through voting, you know, through districts, start to peel away like uh uh counties from Massachusetts that more lean towards if you can identify a county,

well, wherever you can identify it, but for paying all right, wherever you could find it.

All right, the crowds crowds get in rattles, we do also have to keep going.

But then no, no, no.

This is important, guys, because listen, you have guys, you have to live you you have to remember

the founding fathers, the arguments in the Federalist Papers.

Alexander Hamilton specifically said that if the states were separate

nations, then there would be more tension, they would be more willing to go to war with one another. That is a long history.

When you have separate nation states, there is far more contentious.

So the argument with creating the Constitution and doing away with the Articles of Confederation is that these states, more unified, being in one union, would be the more harmonious. So I see I see the United States acquiring Cuba

as creating more harmony in in the Caribbean.

I see Alberta expanding into the United States.

Once we have more access to Alberta and oil, you have less

need of it in the Middle East, right? Oil prices can go down. So American territory. Uh expansionism is an American libertarian aspect. Without American expansionism, without manifest destiny, if Thomas

Jefferson had not disobeyed the Constitution,

there would be no Missouri. There would be no Louisiana Purchase. You have to do what's right. Okay, here's the hardest.

You said one thing that kind of has a hardware disagree with this.

Sure, I'll take Alberta. I think you're more debatable. The reason that I I disagree with that is you said I don't want America to like colonize. I'm like, no, I want a billionaire to do it. I not want private Americans to do it if it's not a good idea.

Name one billionaire other than Elon you would want to start a country.

Palmer Lucky, Palmer, like Andrew. Okay. Oh, look. Wayland, Utani. Okay, a lot of people, a lot of people don't know this, but Palmer Lucky has kept the

private key to every drone he's ever made. He's the most sincerely plotting anarcho-capitalist to live in America. And one day he's gonna strike.

Okay. You don't know that. All right. Uh then we'll give Palmer Lucky back check that. His own colony. Yeah, yeah. Next to the state on the moon. Yeah. Alright, let's uh, this is our final question.
