The French don't call it the English Channel but that doesn’t seem to be an issue, so if everyone calls it the Gulf of Mexico, that's what it is.

 

That's because the French are bad losers. 

 

In fairness, they don't call it The French Channel or something, they just call it La Manche ("the sleeve", because it's shaped like that). Growing up on Guernsey, I got used to telling people that I lived in Les Isles De La Manche rather than The Channel Islands.

Can the US actually do anything to Canada militarily?  They’d be retaliated against by all of NATO surely. Economics are another matter of course. 

 

 That would have been the case in the past perhaps but it is a very different world now with a mad man running loose and many people in his country condoning his actions or ignoring things and carrying on the "mom and apple pie and Friday night high school sports" life that many of them have enjoyed for decades. Very scary.

That'll do, ta.
