If that doesn't bring some perspective to your tiny minds - I don't know what will.

But the Brits would have to get America's permission first before launching any nukes.

And Britain has no way to reach all those places in the United States with nukes.

And it would take only one American nuke, or two max, to send all of Britain back to the Stone Age.

There is no way Britain has first strike capability against the United States -- no way.


On all of those points you are dreadfully wrong.

Although, being the "megalomaniac" I am - I hope you never have to find out.

But you don't know how wrong you are.

I have never called you a "megalomaniac," but I'll take your word for it that you are.

So given your admitted megalomania, how would I "have to find out" how wrong I am?

Are you saying that you have the capability and the willingness to carry out a UK nuclear attack on the 100 American cities you named above, or on any part of the United States?

If that is what you are saying or suggesting, it would be of moment.

But no they have to put their big nose in other man's business again.

Yes AGAIN.


What country do you live in?


I ask because if Russia or China finds your country attractive....
I want to be sure to stop our government from interfering with their plans.


+1

I think he lives somewhere in Europe.

I wonder what the population of his country is compared to the population of Georgia which is ONLY 4 million people. If Russia takes control of Georgia, Ukraine will be next and Russia will move into eastern Europe.


Nikko: I was addressing you with the above post before muscle was flexed. I'm reposting for YOUR comment. Do you live in Spain? Or a smaller country?

OK, Colonel, now you've pissed me off! You give all those places honorable mention for being targets of a nuclear attack by Britain on the US, yet Butte, Montana, Pidmont North Dakota, and Nome Alaska get nothing???? That's just so wrong, mister! :lol:

I mean that al Qaeda's goal in committing the March 11, 2004 Madrid subway attacks was to alter the outcome of Spain's March 14, 2004 national elections and to unseat the Prime Minister, and that al Qaeda succeeded in achieving that goal.

I don't post much in the political section because I prefer only to post here if I actually have something to say.

I do read most of the posts though and have noticed and unsettling "Us" and "them" attitude developing between some members.
I think we all need to remember (presumably) none of us had anything to do with the world wars and most other major wars of the past. We don't have control over what happened. We only have some control over what may happen in the future.
Saying "We" did this, and "You" didn't do that doesn't help anything. It's making an impersonal debate personal by implying people belonging to certain countries are responsible for things that already happened and they had no control over and probably weren't even alive at the time.
I understand the frustrations caused by differences in opinions, but none of us are responsible for the past. :?

The UK, USA, Australia...etc. They're all great countries. 8)

I hope my two cents worth has some meaning. I know this is only my opinion and I'll probably get slagged off for some of it, but I know this is just a forum where we debate things and everyone's opinions are valid in some way.

I do read most of the posts though and have noticed and unsettling "Us" and "them" attitude developing between some members.
I think we all need to remember (presumably) none of us had anything to do with the world wars and most other major wars of the past. We don't have control over what happened. We only have some control over what may happen in the future.
Saying "We" did this, and "You" didn't do that doesn't help anything. It's making an impersonal debate personal by implying people belonging to certain countries are responsible for things that already happened and they had no control over and probably weren't even alive at the time.
I understand the frustrations caused by differences in opinions, but none of us are responsible for the past. :?

The UK, USA, Australia...etc. They're all great countries. 8)

I hope my two cents worth has some meaning. I know this is only my opinion and I'll probably get slagged off for some of it, but I know this is just a forum where we debate things and everyone's opinions are valid in some way.
:grouphug:



I agree with you on everything except Australia being a great country :wink:


Is that because I only used "etc." to cover New Zealand? :lol: Everyone knows Aust. and NZ are practically the same country. :wink: Our flags are so similar even people living in each of our countries get them confused. lol As far as I know we can even move freely between countries to live with no objection. :D

yeah I think we have dual citizenship automatically. and I don't know the difference between the flags :oops:
Does Aus have more, or less stars? I've never been patriotic so I wouldn't have a clue.

It was more just that it seemed like the obligatory New Zealandy thing to say :lol:
Kinda like how I get sheep jokes thrown my way all the time.

Nicely interjected.

I don't post much in the political section because I prefer only to post here if I actually have something to say.

If you’re talking about myron and colonel debating over the relative strengths of the UK and the US, that’s been going on forever…and over hundreds of threads. Dunkirk and Normandy is just the latest iteration of the contest. Sometimes it can be pretty juvenile, but it’s always entertaining. :D

If you’re talking about al Qaeda and Spain and March 11, 2004, that’s a bit less remote, and much more topical. It’s a legitimate topic for this section. 8)

The references to “Western European leftist ingrates” and “smegma face” remind me of the argument between Lindsay Nelson and his adversary in the film Naked Gun—the one where they devolved to calling each other “poopy-pants,” etc. :lol: Now you’ve gotta admit that was a funny movie…and here we have it all on FF. :dance: :lol:

It's Lesley Nielsen NOT Lindsay Nelson :no:

Come on Cambridge. The guy has been acting in movies since 1956.
