Why on earth would we WANT Africa? I'd be much more inclined to take over Canada. There's lots of empty land there for our population to fill, there are huge reserves of oil and gas and minerals and water and lumber, plus lots of wheat growing country which will become increasingly valuable as global warming moves the growing areas North. There's already infrastructure in place, they speak English (or a reasonable approximation thereof), and because of their strict gun control laws there could be no effective civilian resistance. We could just divide it up into about 10 more states, get rid of all the French nonsense, and roughly double the size and resources of our country with minimal effort. I daresay two aircraft carriers and dozen marine squadrons could take over the country in a matter of days.

Forget Africa. Canada is our future.
