You're lucky the US forced you to quit your illegal invasion of the Suez Canal otherwise you may have been nuked by the USSR! The US acted with restraint and wisdom while the EU powers acted for greed and conquest. It also marked the beginning of the end of your colonial power around the world...thank goodness!

Its not likely that the USSR would have used Nukes over Egypt.

And not in 1956, when USSR still had very fewer Nukes than USA!

We gave them our answer when they wanted UK troops in Vietnam

The British were not defeated at Suez, the military action was a success. It was a diplomatic matter after that.

Check your facts before you start ranting.

@RichardElden am assuming your not aware the US saved UK from financial collapse during the 1970s. wish we never did. but it was the cold war and we needed you as cannon fodder. just like your Americans poodle now. we had to restrusture your economy as you had spent yourselves to near collapse. once again during the financail 2008 crisis EU banks and many in britain recieved bailouts from the US federal reserve in form of loans to the tune of 650 billion bollars. we save europe/UK once again

@RichardElden trust me no American wants to have a so called special R. with you ugly fucks. we laugh at you. we have Nato at our control and countless allies around the word. at this point i realise theres no point in arguing with a idiot who keeps reaching and trying to find lies about the US. you are obsessed withe US and its power. why else would your page page be full of American stuff. also u think russia rule the world how? shitty navy? 2.1 trillion GDP. sure. delusional idiot.

@RichardElden recieving a huge part of that aid. do you think the Euro economies just sprang to life without any help?? the special relationship is hope does not exist and never did as Obama has declared france the US biggest ally. not because of cameron. in fact a poll of brits taken last year blame Obama for the end of the special relation which brits so much want to cling to. how does china have the biggest economy. to you, does a GDP of 4.7 trillion appear bigger that US gdp of 15 trllion?

@RichardElden Americas poverty is measured by Americans who fall below the threshold of sometimes 22,000 to sometimes $38,000. because the average income in the US is 46,000. are you comparing that to china where most earn less that 2,000 a year?? so you think russia won the cold war? is that why the USSR was dismantled and orligacs stole assets leading to there economy collapsed 1998. Germanys economy grew and europe as a whole largely due to American aid called the marshall plan. with the UK

@RichardElden am sure much of chinas population will not be celebrating this superpower status you claim t as most of its population remains very poor. its funny how instead of talking about the UKs abilities you keep bringing up many US foes. are your rooting for them? the Uk since the loss of its empire has become a confused nation. people full of conspiracies and cynics. i guess when you build a nation based on plundering the resources of others, its hard to build your own.explains the dolls

@RichardElden if the US intervened in Georgia the war could spiral out of control with russia shamed by the loss of USSR and being humiliated by Georgia they were desperate. how does china even control north africa can they defend them. the US has an african command centre: africom that directs all US military operations in Africa. theres is 1 command centre each continent. doesnt the UK have the official status of americas poodle?? idiot. the US rules the world.

[ilovebrasilful]

@RichardElden dude now your just reaching. how does china control north africa?? almost all the nations in north africa are stauch US allies, with morroco and egypt recieving the offical non nato major ally status. the Us is smart we armed georgia but they made the mistake, US cannot around defending everyone. didnt russia threaten to nuke the UK what did you guys do. your military is so depleted. china is sorrounded by 100,000 US troops and major bases in japan south korea and Guam( part of US)

[ilovebrasilful]

@ilovebrasilful about russia lacking assault ships. the US also has 5 mutual defence pacts in asia countless bases in korea, japan and the US territory of guam, the US has 100,00o troops in asia, 150,000 in the middle east, and 90,000 in europe. the US has rapid capabilities of deplyment with nay assualt ships and transport. brits as usual are clueless, most US debt is internal debt and chinas debt in US foregn debt is less that 5% japan has more. china s to buy dollars in order to import goods

[ilovebrasilful]

@RichardElden Russsia the country that just bought 4 ships from france as they cannot transport their ships beyond their shores, sure they are the big dog, with only 10% of their military concidered combat ready and aging technology, no assault ships how could china be concireded a donimant power? with the US sixth fleet based in asia with 6 aircraft carriers, the only ones in asia, countless US military bases in asia and the US having control of south korean 14 million troops and...
