Oh dear how wrong can one be. Germany started the war and England stood up against the might of the German army to defend ourselves. This is the kind of ignorance that annoys me.

England (Great Britain) declared war on Germany on September 3, 1939.
The âPhoney Warâ: Direct ground and air combat in Western Europe was very limited for the first several monthsâa period known as the Phoney War.
Waiting 8 months later
May 10, 1940: German forces officially invaded western Europe, rapidly attacking the neutral nations of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg to bypass French defenses.
June 22, 1940: France signed an armistice.
That is impressive

I donât understand what is" impressive " when one country attacks and overuns peaceful countries. Strange way of thinking to say the leastâŠ
The thing is America has never been attacked the same way as we have been , so have no concept of the threat of being ovepowered by another country.

Did you notice anything peculiar about that clip? You can watch 50 more times and not catch it. And I would not be surprised. Good luck.
there are many similar links that expose the American education system. Having watched several makes me wonder what they are actually taught
By the way didnât the USA do well in the world cup, NOT
The U.S. Menâs National Team finished in the Round of 16 at the [2026 FIFA World Cup], losing 4â1 to Belgium in Seattle on July 5, 2026
That is my point, exactly. Men shouldnât be playing womenâs sports.
Disregarding all the praises that the US received for hosting FIFA.
It it looks like the freaks didnât come to the US for the FIFA competition because there are Europeans on all the network, saying how far Europe is behind the US and how astonishing on what all the US has.
For example the American womenâs soccer team has played in FIFA competition 9 times and won 4 time.
US mens team have played 12 times and won 0 (zero)
Great Britain has 4 national teams in FIFA
England men have played 17 times and won 1 (one)
Wales men have played 2 times and won 0 (zero)
Scotland men have played 9 times and won 0 (zero)
Northern Ireland men have played 3 time and won zero
England women have played 6 times and won 0 (zero)
Wales women have played 0 times and won 0 (zero)
Scotland women have played 1 times and won 0 (zero)
Northern Ireland women have played 0 times and won
Those statistics donât look good

Notice The USA enters a war not because of what England does.
If England had been conquered the USA would have bombed its
way across to Berlin From Ireland. Germany would have been
nuked too! Paton would have got his jollies. Hap would have
thrown his hands up and Omar Bradly would have been made sick.
To be fair I understand why Americans are so defensive about their country. Also I am the same about mine. I love England and have no wish to live anywhere else.
What makes me actually smile is that Americans go around wearing red hats with the slogan (MAGA) about making America great again. Here in the UK we donât have to because we are already (Great Britain)

Iâve just heard that Trump said the UK capital has âno-go zonesâ and that its mayor, Sadiq Khan, is moving the city âtowards sharia lawâ.
He probably read it on his own fake new website.
EDIT ⊠I posted this on the wrong thread.

All sports are just sports, neither womenâs nor menâs. Unless you want a sport involving competitive menstruation.

With your wealth of knowledge I would of thought you know about the following but my mistake of assuming.
In April 2025, the U.K. Supreme Court ruled in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers that the legal definition of a âwomanâ under the Equality Act refers strictly to biological sex. This allows single-sex service and sports providers to legally exclude transgender women.
Major bodies like England Athletics have barred athletes who have undergone male puberty from competing in female elite categories, citing competitive advantages in strength, power, and stamina.
Advocacy groups and elite athletes argue that biological males competing in female divisions compromise fair competition and increase the risk of physical injury in contact or power-based sports.
It can be confusing.

Under the Biden administration, the US became a door mat that countries just walked over that administration. Now with Trump back in office, he just reaches across the table and put them back in place. For example, the bad trade deals the Baden made was fixed with tariffs that the Supreme Court said that Trump could not do that but he could add a type of import tax that was better because Congress canât touch it. Fixing all kind of things.
Making America Great Again.
It shows, that GB is great. What is a better sign of greatness than going through so many PMs that the ink doesnât even have time to dry. Makes sense to some, but I donât know who.

At least they can get rid of their leaders they donât like.They are not stuck with them for 4 years.
Great as in Great Britain is a geographical reference anyway.
Meaning large.To distinguish it from Brittany (Little Britain)

There is increasingly a case for having Spanish as the language of the US. Makes sense.
Not sure why that makes sense. But in any case it doesnât change my point that the US doesnât have itâs own language
Iâd rather French be the default language. Itâs a lot more fun to speak French than Spanish. Granted, there arenât that many French speaking people here, but that could change. 
Has Trump nearly finished his waall yet?
Then youâre a better person than me. I am very much struggling with French pronouns, where they sit in a sentence, what they conjugate with, and especially the very little ones - en & y
