minus-squareZamboni_Driver@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·9 days agoSeriously? I thought you would at least be able to come up with a funny explanation to support your nonsensical statement. So if France conquered all of Africa? Africa wouldn’t be a continent anymore? Would we just continuously move the continental border? If the US conquered Australia, Australia would become part of North America? How about you slow down and think about this one for a few minutes.
