We're not discussing OTL, we're discussing a Crack!TL where the USA suddenly drops all pretense of being a settler-colonialist state and decides to let Native Americans somehow be treated as human beings worthy of treatment through adherence to rule of law. That being said, in a scenario where the USA occupies Canada on an OTL schedule with that offensive in 1776, for the USA to get French aid during the aftermath of the ATL Saratoga Campaign, or perhaps earlier if the colonials shown an ability to engage in conquests on that scale means France can say "Give us this" and the colonials have zero choice in the matter.
Funny how the only citation you provide for that is your inability to accept a megastate when you can actually see the consequences one produces. Trist's refusal to go for all-Mexico was why Polk wanted him sacked. Perhaps you've missed that we're discussing an alternate history scenario and the butterflies of a successful US conquest of what's a French territory still and not very far removed at all from French rule? Oh, wait, you only want to resort to "it's an AH timeline" to explain how the USA can take over the world. My mistake.
I find it amusing that you accuse me of being a Red Army fanboy by virtue of admiring the people that win wars over the ones that lose them. I happen to admire winners, you like losers.
That being said, the context of a scenario where the Americans are able to win victories like this arguably accelerates Bourbon desire to intervene to screw the British, and both you and Faeelin need a good reason as to how the USA occupying this territory screws the British worse than the Bourbons, especially if they see this as a means to provide a superficial end-run to their defeat in the last war. But I forget, the only states where people invariably follow magical mental programming to favor them are Germany and the United States.
And hold it just a minute here: given everything I've said about admiring the Russian state's successes and ability to expand as a large state, how does this translate into disliking big states again? Have you ever by any chance looked at a map of Russia from Kievan Rus to now? It's always been the Big Damn StateTM in European terms. It always has been, it will always be. And I have zero shame in admiring a state that pretty much was the European 900 lb gorilla. Now, if that happens to mean to you that not thinking Germany being a Big Damn StateTM means I think said states are unnatural, so be it.
