Why do fucking Brits talk about their old empire being powerful? The American Empire is way more powerful than the British Empire ever was
I don't remember Brits having 900 bases in 153 countries, forcing other countries to speak its language
Everyone now speaks OUR language
because we had power projection and the ability to follow through with it unlike americans who lost to a bunch of rice farmers
...
Good job struggling to a bunch of Boers in South Africa. Real brave move putting kids in concentration camps
We have nukes. You never did. That's all that needs to be said
Good job struggling to a bunch of rice farmers in Vietnam. Real brave napalming kids in villages.
We have nukes too you fucking spastic lmao
Exactly, you have nukes, we didn't. Much harder when you haven't got weapons that can raze cities to the ground in seconds lmao. Just face it, you'll never be greater than us.
That's why the whole world speaks English now, because of you guys?
Good work.
You guys never pretty much owned a hemisphere like we own the Western Hemisphere. You basically had no power projection in Europe while through NATO, all of Western Europe is our colony
>you never did
americans everyone
>never owned a hemisphere
We owned the world. Top that, fatty
>great British empire
>couldn't beat a bunch of Philadelphia based intellectuals
Lmao
Where were all the British bases in Germany pre-WW2? Oh right you had none
Good job stopping the Russian Revolution too. Bang up job there
And 900 bases in 153 countries.
>stirring up animosity and division
For what reason
Also /his/
I feel more connected to Germany and Italy personally
Most American whites are German. Stop with this America is Anglo meme
OP is a persistent troll who also starts fights with French posters on here. I've seen him before.
You lost to your own colony
You don't get to talk
>stopping the Russian revolution
Why get involved in things we shouldn't?
>bases
>Paid by american tax payers
>who will defend the country they're stationed in
Sounds a bit cucky to me.
He's probably under the age of 18.
I saw this thread when it had no 0 replies & was hoping noone would bite onto bait this obvious
ffs guys
Wow really?
USA is objectively the most powerful empire to have ever existed, far more influential than the British empire or any modern empire ever was
Before burgers become overconfident i'd might add that the peak of american domination is long passed, and the american domination rarely brought benifit to the average population except if you consider dick-measurement contests on the internet as a significant part of life
Really though the American Empire is way more powerful than the British Empire ever was
How can it not be?
hahahaha you're becoming such a recognisable poster m8
We lost to potato farmers though
Good job struggling with inbred slants, inbred sandniggers and other inbred sandniggers
>never owned a hemisphere
Niether do you, yanks are always overestimating themselves
Good job stopping the communist vietnamese
Good job stopping the socialist koreans
Good job stopping the marxist Soviets infiltrating your country
t. Never had a colony
>t. Never had a colony
At least we didn't lose to one
American banter is so boring but they try and I feel sorry for them so I don't want to say it
>And 900 bases in 153 countries.
That require an enormous sum in rental to the host nations
>tfw by trying to destroy the Empire of your biggest enemy, you indirectly created the most powerful country in the world
Yeah there was one time when he made a thread asking why the US didn't have bases in France and something like "C'mon you know you're craving that big fat American cock."
It was the same posting style as OP. Retarded, passive-aggressive, and had loads of gratuitous profanity which all indicates that he's about 16 and that's probably pushing it.
I understand America's most European ancestry is German, but neither that nor my Spanish ancestry changes the fact that American culture was begotten by Britain. Take it from The Federalist Papers with John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison:
>Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people –a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.
good job buying a kinder egg without getting shot
...
>it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all
i know great literature is beyond the reach of the American but atleast try not to be retarded
And now you are the most powerful country in the world's greatest ally. Couldn't have worked out better for you
Lost how? British ships transported those slaves to your country. kek, you lost even before you began.
>Good job stopping the communist vietnamese
>Good job stopping the socialist koreans
>Good job stopping the marxist Soviets infiltrating your country
Did I fall asleep and wake up in 1975?
>In Paris, while negotiating the treaty with France, Ben Franklin stopped for a bite to eat in a popular cafe. On the other side of the room he saw Edward Gibbon, member of Parliament and author of the already famous Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Ben had known him in London and sent over a note, inviting him to his table. Gibbon replied he could have nothing to do with a man who was a traitor to his king. Ben replied that he was sorry to learn this. He was eager to give him background information for his next book, The Decline and Fall of the British Empire.
>britain loses a colonial war against a colony with a population half of the size of GB across the atlantic ocean while being supported by france and spain
we were always going to lose america desu
Best ally
USA has no allies only interests
>arguing about things that happened hundreds of years ago as if you were involved
Did i fall asleep and wake up to a non-argument?
>supported by France and Spain
Most of the fighting and dying was done by Americans. All they did was provide naval support
Britain lost her empire because after WWII...they were flat broke. Also the US was encouraging independence movements in the colonies.
>this is how you people spend your Sunday
>Best ally
>Didn't get involved in ww2 until they were attacked
>Meanwhile britain was in it from the beginning
it's funny because the yank revolution led directly to the french one, which led most of europe to gang up to defeat france and let us become the biggest empire
>british empire lasted close to 200 years after that
>meanwhile the 'american empire' will be lucky to last a century
Exactly
The American Empire is literally the most powerful thing to have ever existed
It's our world - you're just living in it
Well it's not like people outside the South go to church anymore.
...
y-yea, you're a good friend too but...muh rivalry :^)
Funny, indeed
(Napoleon was a mistake)
france practically bankrupted itself funding american revolutionaries and supplying them, that's a bit more than naval support. and even then we still had to transport troops across the atlantic ocean while being constantly harassed to land in a very well armed colony with half the population of the uk
The spread of the English language can be attributed to us though
>Great Britain, nation that gained global dominance through innovation
>america, a nation that gained global dominance through backstabbing
Really makes you think.
Both "empires" are long dead England just lasted longer
>nation that gained global dominance through innovation
This is what Brits actually believe
obongo says whatever he needs to when it suits him, when romney came here and suggested we might fuck up the 2012 olympics, suddenly hussein was calling us the number one ally again
>you may not be ready for diplomacy with Beijing if you can't visit the Olympics without insulting our closest ally"
though i agree the special relationship does not exist
Guess you are a high councellor of the president, mr. shekelshtein
Just wonder how you ended up on a javanese drawing site. Thought you'd be busy ruling over the world
>Britain talking about perfidy
Ever hear of the Monroe Doctrine?
No power has literally ever had power projection in the Western Hemisphere
...
Countries that use the DOllar
And America had the Philippines which was our colony
As a French myself i had to cringe quite hard, how France was treated like a good pet.
Not mad as the US, just at our presidents for turning into little sissies.
""""""Countries""""""" that use the Pound
>implying America isn´t the world-leading center for scientific research
>implying they don´t hold the most patents
>implying you´d shitpost here if it weren´t for American technology
Stay dumb and poor, Britstain.
Gaulish boi, you have to come back
Nice non-sequitur, but no. The Monroe doctrine did not stop from other western powers from having power projection.
What is spain doing on that map ?
Also a significant part of Africa is equally tied to the Euro
>americans secede from britain
>americans don't let the south secede from them
>americans call our Empire horrible and oppressive
>americans conquer the phillipines and brutally crush any dissent
>americans claim to love freedom and democracy
>americans routinely champion the deposing of democratically elected leaders in favour of puppet rulers that fit their agenda
>americans stab Britain in the back post-ww2 and do everything they can to undermine us on the world stage and destroy our Empire
>americans today have 900 bases in 153 countries and routinely fight wars to uphold their sphere of influence around the world
American's entire country is founded on materialism and opportunism.
They used to use the dollar
>>americans secede from britain
>>americans don't let the south secede from them
>Americans successfully rebel from the UK, which unable to put down a rebellion of its contingency that's only a small part of their empire
>Americans successfully able to put down a rebellion of half their country
Says the country that created crony capitalism
>A nation, so mighty, so great. A nation that has exported civilisation around the globe for hundreds of years. A nation, that has done more for this world than any other nation combined. A nation which can never be topped in terms of achievements. Its empire stretched far and wide. Ladies, gents. The one and only, GREAT BRITAIN
Jog on poofters
You literally just proved my point.
>American's entire country is founded on materialism and opportunism.
this thread proves the colonisation of america was a mistake
>American's entire country is founded on materialism and opportunism
yeah, and the British empire was a temple of virtue
>nobody pays any attention to these posts
>they keep taking OP's b8 and starting a pointless argument
Sup Forums is dead. Hiro should just nuke this board.
>exported civilisation
More like sold Opium to kids in China
Brits live in a Narco state created by horrible acts of cruelty. The powers of Europe should have dismantled your empire sooner rather than later.
>Brits are unable to take advantage of opportunities
>temple of virtue
that's exactly what it was. spreading christianity to the barbarians
The British Empire was not good for the average person. Protectionism to support colonial goods and high taxes to pay for the army did not benefit the average Brit. Blacks in Rhodesia for example though, experienced a massive benefit in quality of life, access to education, access to a steady food source, and security. That's a lot more moral than exploiting their resources in the modern sense and having absolutely no obligation to them besides that, while they regularly experience famine.
...
>British imperialism is bad but American imperialism is good
>European countries wouldn't have done what Britain was doing if they didn't have the chance
Fuck off yank.
Greatest empire guys. Remember that, OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
They created the dollar you idiot
>The British Empire was not good for the average person
Exactly, it was good for British capitalists and no one else,
>absolutely no obligation to them besides that, while they regularly experience famine.
Which the British colonies regularly did. See Bengal
>experienced a massive benefit in quality of life, access to education, access to a steady food source, and security
The US gives more money in aid to developing countries than the British empire ever did. USAID alone feeds 400 million people worldwide.
Y los gringos hablan mi lenguaje.
Realmente te hace pensar.
At least we kept China in check, you just let them freely expand their military and pollute the entire fucking world with the factories needed to sustain their 1,000,000,000+ population. The Brits would never have let China have such influence on the world stage as they do under the so called ''Pax Americana."
Didn't they treat Obama like shit the other day and he did absolutely nothing? They arrested two British sailors in the 19th century and we declared war immediately.
>access to education
For what purpose? They weren't allowed jobs and I doubt those schools were anything like the white ones.
>access to a steady food source
So did slaves in America
They already did before Britain anyway
>Security
Yeah security to be practically a slave
Feels good that America has nukes and Britain never had any in its empire days
Makes empire building so easy
What the hell did I just watch
yeah. kek
You could pretty much say the UK was a humitarian organisation specialised in wealth distribution.
Restributing irish potatoes to the world. Obviously they had enough.
>Exactly, it was good for British capitalists and no one else,
It was good for the spreading of civilisation across the globe.
>Which the British colonies regularly did. See Bengal
'Regularly'
There were 2 major peacetime famines in the British Empire. That's not exactly regular, and it's not as if they wouldn't have happened anyway.
>The US gives more money in aid to developing countries than the British empire ever did. USAID alone feeds 400 million people worldwide.
Aid to developing countries is not beneficial, all it does is quadruple their population while putting local farmers out of business because they can't compete with the free food supply. The Brits built an actual self sustainable Africa that was a net exporter of food, not reliant on aid.
>responding to this shitty bait
>we should be able to do it but they shouldn't
We benefit from those factories you mong
>They arrested two British criminals in the 19th century and we declared war immediately.
FTFY
>For what purpose? They weren't allowed jobs and I doubt those schools were anything like the white ones.
Blacks could vote in Rhodesia.
>So did slaves in America
>They already did before Britain anyway
No, they were a bunch of subsistence farmers/hunter gatherers regularly genociding rival tribes.
>Yeah security to be practically a slave
The British Empire fought to end slavery around the world.
When the British Empire existed, other European powers existed
When American empire existed, no other real major powers existed
Really makes you think
t. european union
The British Empire was so powerful in 1914 that they overwhelmed Germany and beat it within a few months
Good work, Brits
