In 1823, El Salvador’s government asked the United States for annexation, as protection from Mexico and Guatemala. We didn’t have any other Pacific coastline at the time, so accessing the land would have been extremely difficult. And Congress said no.
In the timeline where we said yes, the whole of Central America would have been be white (and US states) by now, and the nightmare centuries they went through wouldn’t have happened.
Wow, Israel was running things in 1823? That’s impressive.
I notice that all your rhetoric seems aimed at telling people America is evil, or unfixable, and divorcing Americans’ national identities from it. “We don’t own the US and have 0 say in it.” Who is this actually intended to convince, and of what. “Oh no, I don’t like how much influence the Jews have over my government… guess I better burn the concept of my country to the ground!”
Get the fuck out. Israel is bad, and their influence is a problem, but hating/surrendering America isn’t a solution. You’re basically just another anti-American leftist from a slightly different direction.
Funny enough, multiple parts of the region have asked for annexation over the years.
In 1817, during the Pernambuco Revolt, they sent representatives to the US for recognition of their independence from the Portuguese Brazils (the US declared neutrality in the civil war because they were worried about a British response if they formally backed the Pernambucans).
The Yucatan’s legal government begged the US for annexation in 1847, and that only didn’t happen because someone from the opposition party came to DC, lied about the situation on the ground, and the official representative couldn’t get proof of the correct information from his homeland fast enough for Congress’s vote.
In 1848, a group of rich and powerful Mexicans approached General Winfield Scott in occupied Mexico City and openly asked him to become their president during a transition period where the entirety of Mexico would become states of the US.
In 1849, Nicaragua asked for US statehood for itself, El Salvador, and Honduras.
The Dominican Republic asked repeatedly, up to the 1870s. And today, half of Guyana’s citizens have US citizenship, and there’s a push for it to become a state to ward off Venezuelan expansionism.

We dont own the US and have 0 say in it.
Its better to not be a part of israel. Even if the CIA finances drug cartels to destabalize your countries.
You are one dumb motherfucker.

Why the hell have I never heard about this? This shit is wild.
A Mexican/American war 20 years early would have done some crazy shit to the timeline as a whole. New Alt-history unlocked.
Next level Roosevelt Corollary
