I'd love to restore the old Kingdom of Prussia, or at least restore Germany's old borders in the east (prior to 1945.) Give back to Germany and repopulate with Germans the Kaliningrad Oblast. Woo-Hoo ! !

We need to take back the Canal Zone (What was Jimmy Carter thinking?)

Build more hydrogen bombs, and actually use the damned things. Not just let them sit pretty in a silo somewhere. For what? To decorate the Prairie States?

We need to recolonize the Philippines. Granting independence to the Philippines was a national disgrace.

You are joking, yes?

The Romans tried doing their version of what you propose and where did it get them?

The Romans didn't have hydrogen bombs, but they did have a pretty good run. Much of Europe speaks languages descended from Latin. Some day, if we play our cards right, much of the world will be speaking languages descended from American English. Future Pentecostal church leaders will be learning to read King James English.
