If the US can be of help in their effort to combine, why not? Let them bitch
and moan. They're good at it. Been doing it for centuries against each other,
*and* other social classes within their own countries.

And the US has not had its battles in North America. You went to war with a
number of native Indian tribes, against Mexico, tried to invade Canada a few
times, lost more men in a civil war than in all other military actions combines.
I am sure you are aware of the old saying about the pot calling the kettle black.
