The Brits all went on welfare after WWII and they liked it. They sold their soul for all that socialist bullshit.
The Canadians don't have an excuse.
So the Brits sold there soul for actual healthcare, education system, proper environmental laws and a place where cops kill citizens 99 times less than US...
How could the Brits fall for this... And now they don't want to send their kids to a war which was totally avoidable... Shocking, I tell you...
What next? Lobbyists will not be allowed to write the laws soon. Disgrace...
All that worthless bullshit stuff that kept their economy from booming like the more capitalistic US.
The Brits have mostly been at war for the last 2,000 years so they don't have any high horse to get on.
Great quote from the movie The Americanization of Emily
Emily Barham: I believe in honor, service, courage, and fair play, and cricket, and all the other symbols of British character. Which have only civilized half the world!
Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison: You British plundered half the world for your own profit, let's not pass it off as the age of enlightenment.
They have been far less wars than US since WW2.
The post I replied on was talking about after WW2.
This has been the UK and US GDP growth since UK joined EU.

Leave up to you to figure which one is US and UK... Alright for a country with less Natural resources and no cheap Mexican labour force....
You are confused.
The fucking Cold War which produced Korea and Vietnam as proxy conflicts was caused by the fucking Europeans being scared shitless that the Soviets were going to eat their lunch.
Libya was to protect European oil interest. The Euros begged us to bomb Libya and that asshole Obama agreed. Somalia was a UN action strongly supported by the Euroweenies.The Europeans were major players in both the Gulf War and the WOT. The Brits and the French have been hit more than the US by Muslim terrorism and they are much more dependent upon the Middle East oil. The Brits and to some degree the French are the root cause of the political boundaries in the Middle East that have been in turmoil forever.
If your point is that the US has been fighting other people's wars for them then I would agree.
However, we are johnny come lately when it comes to wars compared to almost anybody else.
