The UK always has our back (same with Australia and New Zealand). The only 3 countries on the planet that we can count on.
So you dont trust the Canadians? They also have the same queen as the English.
I had quite forgotten about the Canadians. I should add them to the list.
Were it not for the US, you would be speaking German right now. Don't forget it!
If you had read Europas history (you earlier mentioned you was not interested in history) you would have known that certain parts of Scandinavia always have been speaking German, its kind of a tradition among the Germanic languages. You are also speaking German you are just not aware of it!
It's been a long time since I was over there but I thought I noticed a difference between French and German. And French is the specific language I was talking about. Yes, I realize that elements of the German language, indeed all languages, spill over into English.
I don't think I ever said anything about 'history'. It's true that it is not a subject I give a rat's patoot about but my country wasn't decimated in two world wars although we did sustain massive casualties. And, no, Russia had nothing to do with the western edge of Europe during WW II. And the parts that they 'liberated' seem to have been swept up into their orbit. Didn't they occupy east Germany for a while? Seems like I read something about that in the papers. Or maybe I was made aware of that when I was stationed in Germany in '66-'67.
Besides a traditional american misconception, actually Soviet liberated Europe!...Sort of.....well, one totalitarian idea for another...same Marx and Engels crap.
There is no credible counter-balance after the UK leaves.
NATO!
The UK is the big European force in NATO. If the separation gets ugly, how much effort do you expect them to expend defending Europe? By the time Parliament gets done debating, the war will be over. The US is getting weary of war, I wouldn't count on us either. It concerns me that we are placing equipment (and troops?) in eastern Europe.
