‘If the situations were reversed, would they have come to our rescue bright and early?’
Yes. We went into two world wars to defend Belgium and Poland.
‘How often have the Brits come to our aid? Korea. Iraq I. Afghanistan. Iraq II.’
4-2 to us then. BTW, I assume you know WHY we didnt get involved in Vietnam (officially).
‘In total, they lost less than 2000 dead. We lost 300K killed fighting in Europe in WWII alone.’
And your point is?.
‘The way British logic goes, maybe we should have intervened in the Crimean and Napoleonic Wars. ‘
We dont mind you entered both world wars later than us. What we DO object to is the ‘we saved your ass/you’d be speaking German if not for us’ crap. Knock that s*it off and we wont crack remarks about ‘turning up late’.
We did save your asses in two World Wars and you wold be speaking German if it weren’t for us. After you, like a bunch of sheep, turned in your weapons the NRA members shipped tens of thousands of firearms to Britain, for free.
If it weren’t for the American Merchant Marine England would have fallen. If it weren’t for Lend-Lease you’d have been throwing rocks at Germans.
If it weren’t for Neville Chamberlain WWII could have been averted. If you’d defended the Czechs instead of handing them to Hitler on a silver platter you wouldn’t have had to fight in Poland or Belgium.
Nice work drawing all those nice, straight lines in the Middle East, too. The planet is still paying for that idiocy.
That's a lousy analogy. We'd fight any outside power that tried to invade the Americas. Poland and Belgium are less than a thousand miles from the UK. Doesn't take a genius to see the next course on the dinner menu.

We weren't late - they weren't our wars. The aspect that bothers me is the extent to which our mass media parrot British propaganda when it's just clear that Brits have a problem with logic as regards the American participation in their wars. For some reason they take our participation in their wars, in which we lost 400K dead between WWI and WWII, for granted while their participation in our wars, in which they lost less than 2K dead, is obviously this great favor for which we must be eternally grateful.
