Of all our Western European allies, only France is self-confident and assertive enough to be both independent and view us generally very favorably despite occasional policy differences
UK, ex-UK colonies and Germany are too motivated by petty resentment, inferiority complexes, and mauvaise foi
Amazing how countries can be like people. France is your outgoing friend who views himself as your equal. UK is your scheming friend who secretly undermines you out of envy
James Diaz
100% accurate
Germany is the worst. USA spent billions rebuilding its shattered economy and protecting its borders after an eternally infamous war that it started and decades trying to free it from Soviet occupation, and all Germans do is bitch and complain about Amerika
Shoulda nuked the Krauts, not the Japanese
David Gomez
You're literally occupying Germany.
Asher Sullivan
Which is a good thing for the rest of Europe of course.
Elijah Richardson
Military occupation ended a long time ago. We're there by invitation as part of a military alliance. It's not as if we exercise any sovereign control there. It's free national defense, basically
In return we get to extend our power projection. But it's not like we exercise much influence over German affairs
Parker Adams
Most countries are better off for having been occupied by us, at least. We just clone our political values and leave. Iraq is the exception
Hudson Bell
Too bad the Marines don't have bases in Europe
fuck Okinawa, the Army gets all the cool places to go
Aiden Foster
That's an bold statement. I'd say most of the countries US has left it's political spergism on aren't doing that swell at the moment.
Jordan Richardson
Japan, South Korea, Germany, et al. are doing well enough
Even Vietnam, which defeated us and kicked us out, is now pretty successful and has very good relations with us

America has awesome track record on colonialism,i mean look at Liberia,what a shining example of prosperity and democracy
Jaxson Roberts
thank you my friend
Justin Jones
Maybe betraying your fellow anglo and siding with the french has something to do with it
Isaac Cox
The French are our eternal brothers in liberty
You just don't (and can't) understand what it feels like to feel that kind of brotherhood
Nathaniel Myers
this and the fact that nobody cares about some Anglo brotherhood, you four are cool but you prefer each other anyways
Nicholas Moore
Excluding the eternal Anglo of course, as a matter of fact Germ*ns can get fucked as well.
France is our greatest ally.
Samuel Cooper
>France is our greatest ally
We thought so too. Right until 1938.
William Reed
Was going to say something about Poland being better than any of them but I'm still butthurt about the manlet soldier shoops

It depends. Europe west of Kaliningrad, Canada, Japan, Guam, South Korea, and Taiwan are doing fine. Afghanistan, Iraq, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Honduras are unequivocal shitholes. The Philippines is kind of a grey area, they're not doing too badly but they could be doing better. Same goes for Cuba.
Puerto Rico and Kuwait aren't bad either. Vietnam is in decent shape, ironic that our greatest international military failure became an IMF/World Bank success story.

>WW1 ends >Wilson begs allies to be nice to poor Germany, American investment rushes in to rebuild Germany in the interwar years >WW2 ends >Truman spends millions rebuilding Germany, sends American troops to defend their former enemies >Cold War ends >Thatcher, Mitterrand, and Gorby all are against German reunification, but Bush convinces them to accept it >Today >Germany has the lowest support of the USA out of all EU nations and all NATO countries save Turkey >American soldiers are on German soil pledged to give up their LIVES for a country that hates them >meanwhile America nuked Japan and dropped more explosives on Vietnam than were used in all of WW2 but they still like America more than Germans do
Why are Germans such ungrateful, horrible people?
Caleb Flores
>been pushing the same antiwhite shit we've been pushing since the 60s on Germany >the same shit that made us 58%
>oy vey goyim why don't you like your bolshivik kike overlords
Asher Williams
That doesn't matter. We're going to do what is right regardless of what anyone thinks.
David Murphy
This. It's our calling on the national level. It's our job to save them from themselves, yet again. Maybe that means giving them tons of cash, like in 1917. Maybe that means sending in the troops, like in 1941. One way or another we're going to save the world no matter how much they bitch about it.
Jace Collins
We love to hate america while copying everything they do, its a servant mentality as we never grew out from this role. Military protection is nice but it kinda emasculated the country by overcoddling, the same for other aspects in culture I guess.
Tbh people could have gotten away with straight out genociding the country after the war and it wouldnt have been remembered as a major atrocity safe for some historygeeks maybe. So we got of lucky.
David Thompson
the frenchies despise you monkeys more than the germans the only reason they helped you was to kick the butt of britain
