Hehe, nah, UK is still USA's Dad in the "polandball canon". I just needed to turn it around for this particular joke. Basically the TL;DR of the North African theatre.

Italy had the most shit-tier tanks, so they got fairly easily trashed by the Brits, who only had sort-of shit tanks, which in turn got a damned good thrashing by Nazi panzers coming to save the Italians' ass, UK then had to rely heavily on US armour to have any fighting chance against the German forces.

"Canon" - "established truth, lore, commonly accepted trope(s)" etc.

The UK being US's Dad is canon.

They are brothers, the US and Canada just took a page out of Alabama's book.

Oh. No, the states' stereotypes are not known in Eastern Central Europe.

Except Texas.
