  You basically summed up the UK in a sentence. People here genuinely think we either are, or should be a world power like America.

    The “big boys” were all pussies over sending western tanks and long range missiles to Ukraine, the UK was the first. There are very few things we can be proud of these days. But that is one of them.

    Then git yer ass out there and start taking over countries. Greenland is up for grabs, I hear. Maybe invade Argentina from Falklands.

      1. We’re friends with the Danes and don’t wanna piss of the EU any more than we already have.
      2. The last time we took over loads of countries, we committed so many attrocities. Like we made the Nazis look like pussy cats. Barack Obama wouldn’t have a bust of Churchill in his office because his father was tortured in a concentration camp set up under him.
