Mexico - the US is so horrible for not taking more of this extra useless dirt off our hands than they already did!

USA (20 years later) - Sweet, look what we did to the crap Mexico gave us! Pretty sweet, huh?

Mexico - BU-BU BUT YOU FREAKIN STOLE OUR SHIIT!

USA - No - dudes - you gave it to us.

Mexico - I HATE YOU! WAWAWAWAAAHH!!! WAR!

Britain and France - *America - wait - we're still pissed at them* Mexico gonna own you!

USA (5 years later) - Haha look at what we did to Mexico - legit they just got owned! But now I think we need some more space - lets take this desert thing - not like they're using it.

Mexico - uh - okay I guess... You wanna take the rest of us and like help us out some?

USA - Na - we're good for now.

USA (60 years later) - Holy crap, VEGAS BABY!

Mexico - BUT YOU TOOK OUR STUFF!

USA - No - you gave it to us.

Mexico - bu-bu-but it was ours! We want it back!

USA - sucks for you, bro

Mexico - HELP!

USA - too late

Mexico - Okay people, if they won't come to us - CHARGE!!!! WE TAKE US TO THEM!

USA - *Facepalm*
