It's a holdover from the times when Euros imagined they controlled and were
superior to the rest of the world

* * Their egos have always outreached their grasp.

True more of the USA than Europe.

* * The US has never started a world war, but you have two under your
belts. *Does: "The sun will never set on the British Empire!" ring any
bells in your tiny belfry? *How about your slave trade, where you limeys
brought slaves to your southern plantations, then left us to deal with
the problems when we kicked your syphilis infected carcasses out in that
little spat where a handful of farm boys kicked the **** out of "The
best army in the world"?

You don't know your history.

We do. *Brit historical revisionism is funny.

We were having a problem with the French.
When we sorted them out we came back and burned down the white house
and chase you across America.

The War of 1812, a minor conflict of the Napoleonic wars, was not a
victory for either side.

The US started a war with Japan. You cut off their oil resources.

The US did not start a war with Japan. *There's that silly Brit
revisionism again.



The US armed forces have never won a war since WW2.

Wrong. *The US prevailed militarily in Iraq twice, and in several minor
conflicts. *The Brits would have lost in the Falklands if not for the US.

Various forms of gooks beat them all round the world regardless of all
the technology.

The sun did set on the Brit empire, in no small part due to US.



And we have started many "world" wars, all against tyrants.

No Brit war ever was started to fight tyranny.

I can see you're another uneducated Yank.
You have not won in Iraq (or Afghanistan.) They have defeated you. US
troops are being pulled out while the war continues. And they will
win.

The USA did not exist while we fought European tyrants.
From Philip II of Spain to Louis XIV of France to Napoleon.
We fought Wilhelm IIs Germany.
We declared war on Hitler.
The USA only joined these wars when forced to.
You killed two million indians, by war, disease and ethnic cleansing.
You invade Mexico, Hawaii and the Philipines
You invaded Canada, burning and looting until thrown out by the Brits
and Canadians.
Truly the Great Satan.
What a load of ****.
