They just want to play Mother (country).

They'd be speaking the German of their Hanoverian royalty but for us, "leave them alone and they'll come home dragging their tails behind them" next time they get put upon again. Their media have been trying to take lessons from the French and the Dutch.

re :They'd be speaking the German of their Hanoverian royalty but for us,

Yawn

Such an old ill thought out comment.

No not true, by the time America entered the war the threat of invasion to Britain had long passed.

And if in 1940 the Germans had carried out operation Sea Lion (code name for the invasion) there was a chance it would not work. The German Navy was not powerful enough to land a big enough force and logistics.

The German military was broken in the East, Battle of Moscow , Battle of Stalingrad and Kursk.

Germany new they were losing the war by summer 1943.

If America had not entered the war the most likely outcome would of been A Soviet Dominated Europe by 1947 unless the German officer corp. over threw Hitler, and came to an understanding with Churchill and Stalin, which would of been very likely as with out FDRs backing Churchill may not of pushed for total capitulation and Stalin would have been happy to make a deal

ps

Alos its about time you Americans thanked us for holding the line in 1940 and 41 giving yyou breathing space to rearm.

Cheers Tony
