The US have guns, bombs, planes, tanks and a distinct lack of IQ. That makes them pretty dangerous.

I can except your American hating since you do not live here. No offense, I really don\'t care how you view us and our ways. I get far more upset with people who have reaped much from this land and do nothing but complain.

I don\'t really want to hate America, I don\'t actually hate the America, I\'m just getting pissed off with the bullshit, the attitude surrounding terrorism and the world, the crap foreign policy, the fact that if a country doesn\'t like you it runs a severe risk of getting trashed while all the time managing to stay sooo self righteous and perfect.

To back up the IQ statement.

One UK soldier can do the work of three from the US. A guy I know that used to do radio work as well as the usual fighting had to work with the US marines for a few months, they\'re each trained to do one job out of three and work as a team to make sure it comes together, when one is taken out of the loop for some reason the others couldn\'t do his job, they had to get the UK soldiers to replace. When the Marines weren\'t there it took just one UK soldier to do all jobs just as efficiently. If the training is that awful in this example the how far does it spread? Obviously the Air Force need some common sense too so it\'s looking bad.

That and the fact that when they went out into the desert and found a huge US military base they discovered the biggest fight in the Gulf was getting them to understand that they were from England (UK) not New England (US)!!

I think Green Meanie needs a reminder from the not so distant past...

The Falkland Island Conflict - those Exocet missles are a bitch huh?

I am not taking that back... it was directed at Greens comments ooseven.  If certain UKers want to start bringing up the historical blunders we could start with the whole situation in the Middle East since it was part of colonial Britain before some "wise" Brits started drawing lines in the sand to make countries disregarding tribal, ethnic and religious differences... and you talk about the IQ of the US!?!?!?!  

As for the Falkland issue, one could make the argument that it was "imperialistic" for the UK to even want to keep that obsolete rock in the first place.  Sure it was strategically important 100 years ago when ships ran on coal, but I am sure the sheep and goat farmers are a significant reason to go to war.  

Lets not forget Montgomery and his "superiority complex" when he chose to launch Operation Market Garden - another example of great British IQ.  

The reason I bring these up is not to belittle Britain, but I am sick of people like Green thinking the UK is superior to the US just because of a few friendly fire incidents.  Britian is the closest US ally and probably always will be so I find Greens comments absurd as both countries fought a successful war and complimented each others abilities nicely.  Why point out the rare mishaps Green?  To try and start an argument?

Christ Giga…. I real hope you don\'t think like that ... i mean come one if there is one nation on the face of the planet that has been seen by the vast majority of the worlds population as imperialistic .. than the answer would be the United States of America.


the simple fact of the matter is that British imperialism was long on its way out (even before the Second world war in fact WWII was the death nail for the empire where the sun never sets) and as for the case of funding and supporting countries only to be bombing them a few years later... well that’s a fine craft practised by the US for years hence the global disgust in your "foreign" policy

Imperialism the American way
[list=1]
  • Find a small country with massive resources
  • Find Tin pot homicidal maniac to put in charge
  • Commit to support said Tin pot homicidal maniac.. after all you are “saving” the countries people from communism. :rolleyes:
  • Celebrate as the Tin pot homicidal maniac is now a Tin pot homicidal dictator and has pledged to give you more resources in exchange for bigger and better weapons.
  • Support said Tin pot homicidal dictator with weapons and training which you will charge for at a premium rate….in fact you even provide him with intelligence to aid his military campaigns  
  • Ignore atrocity after atrocity.. I mean heck he’s your CASH cow after all
  • Do nothing….[the sit on fat @rse and count blood money stage)
  • (Step 7 not in your hands but … this one happens sooner or later) Tin pot homicidal dictator now bites the hand that feeds them
  • Time to act….Drop bombs and blow them all back to the stone age, oh but don’t bomb any oil admin buildings in fact move resources to protect them .. you oppps sorry they will need it after the war :rolleyes:
  • Award rebuilding contracts to American companies
  • go back to step 1 in 12 to 18 months

 
p.s.

oh and REMEMBER THIS ? ! ? ! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

British Imperialism on its way out long before WW2!?!?!?!  The only reason Britian ceased to be imperialistic is because of the loss of stature as a "world superpower" after WW2.  Don\'t try and tell me and everyone else here that Britain is innocent.  The Jews had to bomb British barracks to get you all to pull out of Palastine.  Ghandi had to organize massive protests and strikes to get the British out of India...  I won\'t even go to what happened to the British African colonies...

As for your other "colonies".  The UK simply didn\'t have the manpower to oversee the "empire" after WW2.  About the only thing that the UK does have the manpower to hold onto is a small island in the South Atlantic off of the coast of Argentina :rolleyes:  - oh and a little rock at the entrance to the Mediteranian.

Go ahead and try to deny that it was the British government that created countries like:  Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan... etc.  They even turned a blind eye to apartheid in South Africa.  I love how you ignore the big picture and focus on events no farther back than 20 years ago.  Britain would still be imperialistic if she could, but she no longer rules the waves. :rolleyes:

Oh and as for your point #10 - BRITISH COMPANIES ARE ALSO REBUILDING IRAQ or didn\'t you get the memo on that one?  :rolleyes:
