You're just butthurt that the brits aren't the ones still projecting power around the world as the U.S. took their place as the world's one true super power after WW2. wink


I know you long for the days when the British empire practically ruled the world but those days are long gone, dude. smile

*yawn*


Is that what you tell yourself to help you deal with the fact that the United States is now infintely superior to your shitty country and we could easily ass kick it into oblivion if we wanted to?


But it's ok, I get it. You have to keep telling yourself whatever you have to in order to keep coping with the fact that the UK is now a joke.

What about security for oil rich princes?

The UK does kind of suck.

The US has to bomb countries and secure the oil fields and keep Halliburton, Raytheon, and Boeing contracts coming for both parties

You know mutually assured destruction. Fortunately even Trump and Boris would not be insane enough for that with any of the big 7 nuclear powers, because even India and Pakistan have intercontinental delivery systems. You also realise Kinetic missiles which the russians and chinese have and rail guns which BAE are mounting on Ships for you will make naval warfare obsolete... of course you don't. The Chinese have even joked about aircraft carriers being multi-billion dollar target practice. Fortunately, it's a better bet economically for industrial spying etc than war. It's why Huweii are doing so well.
