You mean "Lebensraum"? I heard it before.
The US already did its Lebensraum when it genocided an entire continent of indigenous people groups to build Ford F-250s and decaying strip malls with Evangelical churches in them.
The US isn't looking to ethnically cleanse and replace the populations of the entire Western hemisphere, just flagrantly steal their shit, and subjugate them.
I don't think it ever finished.
An important correction. Indigenous people are still here, and their genocide is ongoing, it simply shifted to social murder, and building oil pipelines through their territory
That word, "west", doesn't mean what you think it does.
...i don't follow what you mean
A planet has a fixed north and south pole defined by its axis of rotation. Accordingly it has a northern and southern hemisphere. A planet does not have a "west pole".
Edit: I was corrected in another comment: apparently someone actually defined "western hemisphere" in relation to the 0-meridian.
You can define half spheres any way you want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Hemisphere
see my edit :)
Hmm that also includes parts of Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, and a big piece of Africa...
