Macjam’s Uplink is my little corner for sharing some of that. Thoughts, opinions, observations, and the occasional lengthy ramble about something that’s caught my attention. Nothing formal, just me putting things out into the world.
Would you tell America to give up its own land?
Imagine your country was invaded. Now imagine the rest of the world deciding how much of it you should surrender.
Imagine Mexico has invaded the United States. Significant parts of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are under occupation. People have been driven out of their homes. Families are separated. Towns that were American a few years ago are now controlled by another country’s soldiers.
America fights back.
At first, Europe helps. European governments send weapons, provide intelligence and promise that they will stand with the American people. They say that borders cannot simply be changed by force.
But the war drags on. Elections happen. Different politicians come into power. Supporting America becomes expensive and politically inconvenient.
Gradually, the conversation changes.
