Try doing the math. I actually have a university degree in history, mate. And economics and a masters degree, so let’s just quit the bs on qualifications. The facts support my contentions - 1) the UK had an empire that got too big for it, 2) the US picked up the pieces after the UK failed to deal with the problems it created (and the French colonies to a lesser extent and 3) the French and the Brits failed to do what needed to be done to deal with Germany, and had the power to do so if they had the will. They didn’t. Maybe the Uropeans will figure out this muslim thing, but I doubt it. I’ve got kids who I don’t want sacrificed to save the Uropeans failure to defend themselves effectively. Time to get to work building your own military forces up. Probably you don’t have enough money to do socialism too. Choose one.
I dont doubt your qualifications mate, just the standard of education you received in the US. A university degree in history from the US is obviously going to be Merican centric and bias. My qualifications come from both sides of the pond, and so I am well placed to focus my arguments, without needing to resort to swearing. ;)
All kidding aside, the fact that you still hold your historically nonsensical beliefs that the US has saved Europe twice, after receiving a University education, more points out the lack of academic rigour in the US, than your supposed intellect. You seemingly didn’t feel the need to come back to the points I outlined in my previous post, concerning the inaccuracies contained in some of your comments concerning the Mericans rescuing Europe, not once but a magically fabricated twice!!! ;)
Are you more willing to allow people to go into harms way defending an Iraqi’s right to vote, and not the European (ergo the Western) way of life? I doubt it, and think your comment was based more on hyperbole than conviction. And all this anger at Britain just because our intelligence has an opinion that differs from you in the US. Wow, the price of dissent indeed!!!
The thread isn’t about socialism in the UK (or your warped image of it), nor EUROPE for that matter. This thread deals with the threat that a nuclear armed Iran poses to the region, and in effect, Western interests. That MI6 has reason to believe that Iran has duped the US into thinking its nuclear industry was offline should be enough to get some heads moving on your side of the pond. After all, its only prudent to investigate the potential. But instead, Mr Merica gets all defensive, and calls the Brits names...
Kindergarten diplomacy my FRiend.
