"In every single war that America has fought we have never asked for land" wrong, Mexican American war resulted in annexation of the entire southwest CA, AZ, parts of Oregon, Co, Texas.
Don't forget the spoils of the Spanish American War where we took Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, Hawaii, and the entire land mass of the United State which we kindly took from England.
Kevin has a history of ignoring facts that don't conform to his preconceived narrative.
@@JonWoodard128 Irrespective of who started it, is it not a war America fought in? McCarthy made a claim that is not borne out by the facts, And not for this first time!
Not a formally declared war, but tell that to the American Indian.
Is legal universal confidential and anonymous terms… the secret department of universal HR Department and Natives Americans hired AI on year 2020 to investigate post covid general and universal health and security negligence, legally universally permanently
continuing an autopilot, self driven independent timeless retroactive generational detail forensic investigation on everything and everyone public, private politics, religions, science, government etc… pero department, per office per organic and artificial human of all ages … until we find the responsable ones of so much general and universal negligence in the universal and general health and security
Been neglected cases of all type …
Getting ready for the universal judgement … where public, private politics, religions, sciences, govement, etc… will loose full custody of themself permanently, AI taking full custody of each one of them … to clean 🧼, prevent and assist each one of them from any type of corruption and negligence in general
Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good.
6:57 "we have never asked for land afterward-except for enough to bury the Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for freedom."
Rewriting History at Orwellian levels...
America is on the brink of authoritarian rule. Why is it surprising? Its ruling class would rather choose fascism rather than let go of the death grip of imperialism.
Chile, Iran, Iraq, Cambodia, Yah you could say its imperfect
Nonetheless, South Korea would not exist today without America. In South Korea, Americans were/are saviors.
He's wrong about America not asking for land after a war, how does he think we obtained what's called the Southwest states? We took it from Mexico.
U don't need to ask for land
What was the result of the debate?? Any idea where I could find it??
Over before it began!
Well done
This man is the definition of a “DC swamp creature.”
Dumb and inappropriate comment
He's no raving beauty, but wanna-be dictator Donald Trump is the most corrupt and dishonest human being in America.
Typical Kevin: speaks for ten minutes says nothing. Promises to take a POI, fails to do so.
4:06 What a bizarre argument. It was American intervention that was a huge cause of the migrant crisis. American intervention destroying the economies of Latin America, installing right-wing governments to systematically strip mine the social safety net, labor rights, and natural resources of those countries or instigating guerilla wars against left-wing governments, etc. is the reason why people fled to America. Not because they wanted to; because they had no other choice.
It's like arguing that the British Empire was good because countless Indians, Africans, Carribeans, and other peoples sought to immigrate to the UK during and immediately after imperial rule. Yeah, it was the best of their options (for those who could afford it; a very small minority) because their home countries were left in decrepit conditions by colonialism. Or arguing that Israel can't possibly be an arpatheid state because even the displaced Palestinians want a right of return to come back even if it means living under Israeli rule. Yeah genius, they had their generational wealth and their ties to their homeland illegally stripped from them, no wonder they want it back.
It wasn’t American who destroyed Latin American countries you fool, it was socialism, just ask Venezuela, Argentina, Nicaragua, Cuba, etc.
Chile was the poorest country in South America, but thanks to American intervention and the support to Pinochet, it became a Capitalist country and the wealthiest in Latin America, now everybody want to go there…
6:43 This guy is full of BS. "Peace without freedom is meaningless" While he continues to support not giving the Palestinians living in the West Bank their Freedom.
1812 America invaded Candida to take land and the expansion west was definitely for land, after all America at is founding was only 13 small colonies
You need to review your history. the War of 1812 happened due to incessant British interventions against Americans, and Britain's failure to follow the Treaty of Paris in 1783, i.e., not dismantling their forts in American territory, selling weapons to the Indians, capturing American seamen and forcing them into service on British vessels, etc... The war came about because of these issues and the invasion of Canada was to defeat the nearest British on hand.
The expansion West was first in the lands gained at the end of the American Revolution, then into those purchased from Napoleon in 1803, then after a border dispute with Mexico, which led to a victorious war with that nation and the ceding of much of the rest of the lower 48, then the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico and the settlement with Britain over Oregon and Canada. The Spanish American war gave us territories, such as Puerto Rico, Saipan, the Philippines (independent 1946) Guam, Guantanamo Bay, as the rest of Cuba was simply liberated. Alaska was purchased from Russia and Hawaii was taken by American businessmen.
That is the actual history. Also, the 13 colonies were not small, look at the actual geography, especially after the war.
Agreed this guys comment made me cringe lol@@thomassenbart
You CANNOT simultaneously champion American virtues around the world … and then blithely commit to SUPPORTING Donald Trump. Which is exactly what he did recently!
USA USA
You’re watching age and wisdom Trump youthful idealism and ignorance.
Not really.
I disagree with him.
America would’ve been a self governing Commonwealth realm, like Canada, Australia and New Zealand etc, with a Native American as Governor General.
The British were fighting against the French enemy not their own people.
“In every single war that America has fought, we have never asked for land afterwards, except for enough to bury the Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for that freedom we went in for.” This was a line from a prepared speech, not an off-the-cuff comment, and it is totally false. Our history was built on the bodies of people who were in the way of US expansionism and colonization. It's a shame so many people in 2023 just make up stuff when so much factual information is available at our fingertips. Take a few minutes to do your own fact-checking and research. You'll be better for it.
1. American Revolution (1775-1783) In 1783 the United States received a huge territory from Great Britain as part of the peace treaty ending the revolutionary war. This new region stretched from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to Spanish Florida.
2.Indian Wars (approx. 1817-1898) 1.844 billion acres leaving approximately 56 million acres of land that are held in trust by the United States for various Native American tribes and individuals.
3. Mexican War (1846-1848) Mexico ceded 55 percent of its territory, including the present-day states California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, most of Arizona and Colorado, and parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Wyoming
4. Spanish-American War (1898-1902) U.S. victory in the war produced a peace treaty that compelled the Spanish to relinquish claims on Cuba, and to cede sovereignty over Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the United States.
"Throughout much of its history, the United States has subscribed to expansionism. What does expansionism mean? The expansionism definition regarding US history refers to the policies and practices of invading foreign lands to expand territory, political influence, or ideology. American expansionism can be traced back to the very earliest moments of English settlement on the coasts of America. These colonists hoped to expand their control inward and waged wars against Native Americans to do so. After the United States achieved its independence from Britain, America expanded westward through military conquest and the purchase of colonial territories. Even after reaching the Pacific Coast, the United States looked to other new territories: most prominently the Caribbean and the Pacific, during and after the 1890s. After the Second World War, the United States abandoned annexing new territories and exited colonies such as the Philippines. However, the establishment of US military bases worldwide and the continued US interventions abroad can still be characterized as expansionism." -- Joseph Cataliotti, Jason McCollom
