They'll just wither away as Muslims overtake them in birthrate

My concern is what a muslim Europe will do

🤷🏻 Not my problem

The whole thing the monroe doctrine was meant for was to keep europe out of the americas

Let's keep it that way

because French Guiana *is* a part of the EU

You think Muzzies are organized enough to assert Naval dominance in the Atlantic?

so if France does something stupid, that becomes Suriname's and Brazil's problem, I'd argue

At the time of the monroe doctrine europe had some territories in south america still.

Iirc

They still do

North America arguably as well

with Canada sharing a monarch with the UK

@RMS_Gigantic French Guiana is as much "France" as American Samoa is American

It just prevevented then from expanding

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Aye, which is why the US almost went to war against Britain in 1895 over British Guyana trying to expand its border into Venezuela

How does France do something "stupid"? With what?

Border incursions, I'd argue in a realistic sense

*In the Caribbean.*

lol

I've heard French Guyana compared more to Hawaii than American Samoa

Them and what Navy? For what gains? This isn't some fucking game of Risk. Countries don't just invade each other out of spite, or on a whim.

due to its more central political status

Islam has a long history of having bloody borders, I'm sure you know

You yourself argued that Europe seems likely to fall to Islam

You think these migrants are intelligent enough to successfully take over the French Republic, and all of its international territories, *and* pull off a Naval campaign against a foreign country on the other side of the planet?

I said *fall* to Islam.

Not be taken over lol

Actually, that raises an interesting question of what a sixth French republic would look like 🤔

given how the Fifth one fell

Guyana is more likely to just declare itself its own nation.

I hope they do someday

Which brings us back to your video-game inspired nerd fantasy of Islamic Europe taking over South America as if they were some tactical geniuses

Yeah, I was being a fucking moron

though I do still like the idea of an Americas-spanning mutual defense pact

I like the Idea of South America finding its own strength for once

I'm on board with that; hell, I sympathize with Bolivar

You won't find it in any articles or on news channels, but the US is in South America quite a bit, fighting their drug war for them.

Our Secretary of Defense also recently concluded a week-long trip to South America, traveling to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, an Colombia

In his speeches down there, he talked a lot about basically the concept of Pan-Americanism in a hemispheric defense sense

~~He also referred to "Americans" as "North Americans"~~
