"You havent needed to defend us thank you. I think we British have done our share of defending ourselves.

And you were kicked out of France in 1966."


I just love when people bash me for something I never said. Can you please show me where I ever said that we have a base in France? You keep believing that you can defend yourself there sparky. You and the rest of Europe are really doing a bang up job in Libya, aren't you? Now all of your leaders are buying weapons off us because you're running out!!! On top of it, your leaders are getting pissed at us because we're not committing more munitions to your cause. At least we in America don't decry your "Wars for Oil". We just don't want to spill our blood and treasure for them, that's all...

1—You mentioned France, so I thought I’d remind you you havent defended it for 45 years. I am never sure of some FR’s knowledge of Europe and history, so I play safe.

2—Britain is the one US ally in Europe (along with France) that dosent need the US. Your presence in the UK has been redundant since 1991 if we are being frank. If you really think Britain cannot defend itself, then the ignorance of our military capabilities is yours. We still have a sizeable armed force, are one of the five major nuclear powers and are one of the few countries outwith the US who can conduct world operations.

3—Yes, the British and French have done a bang up job in Libya. Its others who arent up to scratch. As I keep pointing out, the UK and France have and are reinforcing air and sea power all the time. We just sent more planes last week for example.

4—Running out?. Britain and France have and are supplying the rebels from our own stocks.

5—No, you will happily spill blood for your own bullsh*t wars for oil. Like 2003.
