UK IS OVER

Why is it that the UK has lost its power to the point that it's now not as influential as Germany?

bump

Because we're too stubborn towards change. We got left behind with a piss poor amount of money.

But they used to be the mightest power that ruled the world. At least they have such glory days so I think you still can be proud of your country.

Suppose history is something. Now we're just a mini America / offshore millitry base with European ties.

Germany is mostly influential due to its cultural ties with Scandinavia, The Benelux, Austria, Czech republic and Switzerland. So even by doing nothing they Germanic countries form a cultural block.

An Island nation that does not even acknowledge its cultural ties with the Netherlands cant compete.

Better question is this Polish proxy-faggot the worst poster on this board?

After WW2 they tried softcore socialism and it killed their industry.

they were killing their industries themselves. they had a lot of their own manufactures which could rival foreign global companies but stopped making their shit because probably they have had a systematic thinking about efficiency. in short, they dont/didnt wanna work hard, especially physically. theyve focused on establishing and engaging in their efficient service industry. now they are only good at financing and insurance.

Also Germany has poor parts so there much more willing to do industrial work.

what?

i'm japanese!

British influence is diluted over the entire globe, while Germans concentrate themselves locally.

Sure fucking thing you Russian rapebaby.

U MAD(´・ω・`)?

...

why is the wales represented in the union jack

>what is the anglosphere
difference is we couldn't have the ties we wanted with the commonwealth because of EU restrictions, we're already doing everything we can to improve relations with Australia, New Zealand, Canada and USA after brexit

Wales was a part of England when the union was first created

>Also Germany has poor parts so there much more willing to do industrial work.
Not only the majority of Germans are willing to do industrial labour but many people all around Europe come here to do the industrial work.

It's the coziest, best payed work you can get without an academic degree (real degree like engineering not that worthless shit like psychology).

You can join NAFTA if you'll take some Mexicans off our hands.

fuck off

No Mexicans, no free trade. Those are the rules, friendo.

I think the fact that a tiny island nation did so much is impressive enough.

not what donald said you shitskin

Trump doesn't get to make treaties on his own, they have to be approved by the senate.

I think Senator Rubio here would love for his Cuban brothers and sisters to be allowed to settle in another island nation :^)

>tfw no North Anglo Free Trade Agreement

You do understand that will require freedom of movement, meaning you get all Britain's Muslims too.

No, it'll require free movement from the US to Britain. Who said Britistanis get free movement? They're the desperate ones.

>empire falls apart

Simple as that.

>Why is it that the UK has lost its power to the point that it's now not as influential as Germany?

Because winning wars doesn't really mean a lot if you are going to lose the peace afterwards.
