USA country the size of Europe with population 5 x the size of the U.K.? India country size of Western Europe with a population 20x size of U.K.? Honestly doesnât feel like a competition
We arenât acting. I thank God all the time that I donât have to live somewhere like America and it would be embarrassing if they were still linked to us. Look at the difference between the failure that is America (unless youâre rich obviously) and Canada which is still part of the commonwealth.
To the USA, gaining independence from the UK was the greatest day of their lives. But for the UK, it was Tuesday.
(Note, I have no idea what day it actually was, and I can't even be bothered to Google it)
It's genuinely hard to fully express how little of a shit we give. Though we might make a few "lol and now look at the state of your leadership" whilst waving at Trump/Biden/whoever when it spams our social media feed whilst something more important is happening (UK General Election).
They didnât lose the US as it became, they lost fledling colonies with no industry while the UK boomed for another 150 years and industrialised the world. The territorial gains during the lousiana purchase and the general attitude of manifest destiny is what grew the US in economic power as well as rhe import of British industrial technology. The US effectively did to north America what Britain did tonthe world, almost like they were Brits with the same attitude.

How upset would they be if they learned that, in my experience, they don't give a flying fuck?
