MarineBob dream on, I get tired to explaining to imbeciles with a very poor grasp on reality.. it goes like this.. many, (not all!) Americans are deluded into thinking that they are still a world leader, that they have respect internationally. That people round the world like and respect their nation. Its not been that way in a long while.. Obama began to repair past damage.. things have regressed badly since Trump..
Another delusion Americans, (again some not all) suffer is the delusion that Brits hang on to that.. we don't, we aren't taught about it in school, we don't care. .Why? because it was one tiny war in many that we fought, we fought many, we lost some and won some.. at the time, there is FACTUAL evidence that many BRITS argued for handing the country its independence.. We were under-resourced in a country a long way from home.. we are MINUTE little island... we were maintaining presence, (rightly or wrongly!) in many other nations at the same time, we were fighting other wars.. so under resourced.. you guys had the advantage.. and you had the passion to win.. we perhaps didn't.. and we lost..
You need to get over it.. really you do.. we did, hundreds of years ago.. to bleat on about it after all this time is insane.. but even more insane is to believe WE care.. we didn't and dont. we are allies.. and we moved on.. you need to too.. In fact, as I say, and am tired of saying.. we often use it as an excuse to throw American themed parties.. to celebrate WITH you.. any excuse for a party and a few beers!
Try consulting facts... you will see that this isn't just me saying this.. we just had so many wars, and have SO FUCKING MUCH HISTORY that what happened it but the tiniest blip.. we really cannot care.. it isn't big enough or important enough.. except to you.. we dont' begrudge you your Independence.. it was the right thing to do.. now grow up and get over it!
