@Nexxo00@MadelaineLucyH@SG192021 There wasn’t an offramp for you, correct. You’re French. You already raised the white flag and abandoned Paris.
The UK did, in fact, have an offramp.
@BlahBlah1886764@Microinteracti1 It is a critical point in his critique, and he was not only slightly off…he was way off the mark.
It shows us insight into this guy’s apathetic behavior towards accuracy and truth.
@MadelaineLucyH@SG192021 Again, you started the war. Churchill refused to take the offramp in 1940.
Due to this decision, you lost your empire. You would still be a superpower if you took Germany’s peace deal, but now you are inconsequential.
Based on your rhetoric though, maybe that’s for the best.
@MadelaineLucyH@SG192021 It was in YOUR interest. And we gave it for free.
Your welcome. You got the deal of the century and still can’t stop complaining.
Typical Brit.
@MadelaineLucyH@SG192021 Total US Lend-Lease to the UK reached $31.4 billion (about $600 billion today), with most provided as grants and not repaid; the separate 1946 Anglo-American loan of $3.75 billion was repaid in full with 2%.
You need to go back to school it seems.
@MadelaineLucyH So what? You never enforced anything before.
Germany broke treaties with you and France when they militarized the Rhineland, annexed Austria, occupied Czechoslovakia….and you did nothing.
You chose to go to war. Then begged for our help after you got your ass kicked.
@yung_trllnr@McFaul So 'Buy European' is a strategy, but 'Buy American' is a threat? Interesting how sovereignty only works in one direction. And don't put words in my mouth—I never called it an alliance.
@Kingkiko61@JohannaNyman5 This Dutchy says the US is broke, but at the same time says we should write Ukraine a blank check. Which is it?
Also, why doesn’t the Netherlands pick up the tab? They never seem to answer that one.
@kurtmac@McFaul The benefits of them not coming here far outweigh the costs.
The Brits and the rest of Europe can stay home. They are not invited to Minnesota or the rest of my country.
@yung_trllnr@McFaul What allies? You mean subcontractors just waiting for a higher bidder.
If you have to purchase thr allegiance, is it really allegiance?
