>take it back from the Spanish
The US and UK have been doing the same bullshit lobbying for hundreds of years. America, as ungrateful as ever considering that spain is an enormous reason it became independent, is the main reason that the Latin American wars of independence happened and were successful. All of those revolutionaries convened in DC and Philadelphia. Except for Simón Bolívar, who the US did not really like, but he got a ton of support from the British.
The Spanish colonies were also not colonies, they were viceroyalties. They were self governing by the viceroy but they were kept unified under one umbrella as part of "Hispania Magna". The Spanish kings were never particularly authoritative either, not even in mainland spain, where they very much had a comprehensive system of courts and checks and balances, particularly the crown of Aragón. The union of the more authoritarian Castilla and Aragón with its strong noble class meant the creation of a child system where the dual monarchs were still indebted to the courts, and Isabella had her personal authority knocked down a peg, but where they exercised more authority than Ferdinand II did independently. This would continue throughout Spanish history and spain would never have much issue with its imperial class until much later (which is probably why our bourgeoisie was functionally nonexistent until the 1950s, they never had nobles worth having pissing matches with to develop industry)
You take away the Spanish, plus have the US right there also, and it has been a fucking disaster ever since.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
