Do America and Britain have a Roman-Greece relation?

>America the huge Empire with strongest military
>Britain used to be an influencial merchant state with many merchant ports
>Brits made huge contribution to science and art while Americans are uncultured brutes
>Brits like to talk about the Anglo-Empire, as if USA and Britain would rule together, while Americans see the Brits as grandpa at best

And US-German have Roman-Goths relation?

>tfw even a conservative PM isn't fond of the US in 2017

I want the US to have a special relationship with the UK, but we'll never have a Thatcher/Reagan kinship again.

>May
>Conservative in any way apart from by name

I was referring to the name used to reference the party. Of course she isn't a hardline conservative, but she's representing the more conservative of the two major options, which should in theory produce someone with a stronger desire for US/UK relations than labour would.

America doesn't have an empire, and what little it does have is nowhere near the size of the British one. Culturally America is stupidly strong of course, even then the UK still holds its own and in many cases is superior to the US still.

Can't stand this cliche

>America doesn't have an empire

Your trips won't save you.

We are cool towards each other. If anything the U.K is our best comrade in Europe.

Well it is a stupid comparison for sure. The time differences and the respective goals of the nations are fundamentally different.

>>Brits made huge contribution to science and art while Americans are uncultured brutes
Huh?

America has a lot of discoveries for such a young nation

We're also far and away the leader in space exploration and pretty much every scientific discipline.

>military bases

Big whoop m8 we all have those. Well the relevant nations do anyway.

Rome and USA are both military hegemonies.
Ancient Greece and UK were both trading empires

America and the UK were both trading empires built on the backs of their militaries.

How do you think the UK integrated India or the US "opened up" Japan?

>military bases
That's what beeing an Empire means. If "sovereign" countries depend on your militay protection, they are not really sovereign but your protectorates

What is demographic power? Population size?

America adopted British trading tradition, just like Rome adopted Greek trade tratition.
And for a world power, Britain was always pretty weak. They could only fight against undeveloped feudal shitholes. France or Germany were always a big threat to Britain

It must be yeah.

You should give NASA and science in general more money than what they get tbqh.

SpaceX and the free market are the true path to sciencetific advancement. The state doesn't need to interfere.

I agree

The problem with being by far the most powerful country in the world, that nobody is even close to, is you get lazy and don't have to constantly strive to be better.

There was no greater time for advancements than during the cold war and prior to that the world war.

Nowadays we just import indians and asians instead of educating our own people to do it. It's quite sad really.

Soon.

>Nowadays we just import indians and asians instead of educating our own people to do it. It's quite sad really.
Lol. That's what you always did. America always saved money on basic education and relied on importing the brightest from other countries

>We're also far and away the leader in space exploration
Why did the USSR beat you to nearly everything except the moon?

I'm talking now.

Russia tended to be more experimental and not as safety cautious. If you look at a lot of the early space missions you can see a lot of failures before both countries got it right.

The Soviets were ripoff merchants, look up the story of the Tu-4
