Nice to hear from an impudent limey about world domination. Still sore about 1776? The War of 1812? Geez, have a warm beer and chill, for christsake. (FWIW, blaming all of us over on this side of the pond today for past sins invites the same directed your way, in case you missed my point.) Anyway, there were a lot of Americans who were reluctant to get involved in WWII because they’d come over to escape the same Great Power machinations that produced the meat grinder of the Somme, etc. They didn’t’t embrace the same status for their adopted home. They just answered the same call to God and country their fore bearers in the old country did. They constituted the bulk of the workforce for the various projects the pols committed them to, and now we’re all in a new time.
Both sides did win. The following is the final paragraph of the Encyclopedia Britannica article on the War of 1812; the lead author of which is a professor of history at the US Air Force Academy. Evidence, one might say, of the truth of the claim made.
"The most enduring international consequence of the war was in the arbitration clauses of Ghent, perhaps the treaty’s most important feature. Its arrangements to settle outstanding disagreements established methods that could adapt to changing U.S. administrations, British ministries, and world events. There lay the seeds of an Anglo-American comity that would weather future disagreements to sustain the longest unfortified border in the world."

I'm pretty sure both sides think they won the war of 1812.

Crazy how there are still so many r—ded f—ts even in our neck of the woods. Piss of back to the daily wire
