      That would give a call of duty villain to justifying create Cordis Die decades later and as the world gotten worse, his organization would become a anonymous and occupy Wall Street times with western socialists and many antifa groups times 100 or so.

      Probably bc that already happened. Fool me once and all that. And also bc the American tactic of propping up “capitalist” dictators was very much a product of its time. The political climate has to be just right to pull something like that. Not to mention a lot of those dictatorships had no benefit for the states. The only ones that really got us anything were the banana republics, and I mean, there are more valuable things in that region than fruit.

    I just want to say that I started playing in 1988 when I bought the original release at my local game shop with some money I had leftover from Christmas and I absolutely love your lore videos. Sadly that original game was lost in a flood along with my Top Secret game box and contents as well as around 8,000 Beta and Revised edition magic cards and my Car Wars novels along with all of my original Car Wars game items. Thankfully I was at least able to save all of my first edition D&D set as it was in a lucky spot in the house in a different room on an upper floor and never even got wet so that is a small victory.
    Also as a side note, UA-cam is doing UA-cam things again so I had to re-subscribe to the channel yet again as it showed I wasn't subscribed. That is the 8th channel this week I was randomly unsubscribed from.

    idk if there is more backstory as to how the American countries came together or not, it kinda ignores a lot of context of those countries in the 20th century to somehow make it work, i know that the Cyberpunk world deviates from the real world somewhere in between the late 80s and early 90s, but that makes the union between these countries even weirder.
    I am from Guatemala, the CIA made a coup in the 50s and put a U.S backed dictator up until the late 90s, from the 60s to 90s there was a civil war in here because of it (and for many other things, of course), so to say that my country, which in our timeline is nothing more than a lapdog of the U.S even to this day, went against the U.S and joined the other american countries is kinda... laughable, so is El Salvador doing it because they went through a U.S coup and backed dictatorship too.
    Honestly it is one of if not the only really weird lore bit that i have seen in the Cyberpunk universe, maybe there is an explanation to how it happened that i am missing or something, so if anyone that sees my comment and knows the answer please do explain.
