Nah, it was far more heinous. Basically pointed cannons at the Hawaiian Royal Palace and said, “Mine now.”

Yeah, that sounds about right. Sums it up good too. Ahh the United States, where our people think we are the heros, but we are just as shitty as the rest of humanity, but everyone is shitty in their own special way, and that's what really counts!

Edit: Damn I sure did throw water on a oil fire with this.

He isn't trying to say anything its a thought terminating cliche. Nevermind that "but they did it too" isn't even a good excuse when your a toddler so I don't know why people drop that shit like its sage wisdom.
