US Foreign Policy 4.0: making the world safe to flee to if the MAGAts win here

France was unusual, if not unique, in that they granted full French citizenship to their conquered colonists throughout the colonial period. For example, St. Barts is not a wholly owned subsidiary of France - it *IS* France. French passports, euro as currency, the works.

I honestly find it fascinating that the French were willing to give overseas territories true citizenship. Liberté, égalité, fraternité was more than just a motto at the time, and I respect the heck out of France for it.

Longest non-stop domestic flight is Paris to St. Denis. About 12 hours.

During COVID it was Paris to Tahiti, almost 17 hours.

Colonial governors are going to colonize.

I get it. But most foreign countries, Europe, Asian, whatever, will almost always ask you, "Are you from the States?" They rarely ask, "Are you American?"

In my experience the most common two ways I've been asked from anyone while abroad are, "You're from the U.S.?" and, "Are you American?".
