Re: No More Hiding Behind the UK's Skirt.
[QUOTE=Moscow;1855828]Dunkirk came about when We realised European countries like Holland , France and Belgium talk big but can't back it up in a fight.
No-one was standing by Britain's side. No dead Dutch, Belgian or French troops on this side of the channel. Many dead British troops on your side of the channel.
You don't do yourself any credit with baseless insults against our troops sacrificed defending your sorry excuse for a nation.
Your first paragraph is awfully odd.
No one was standing by your side? When you consider how much American blood and treasure DID go to England, twice in the last 102 years, to help straighten out European messes.
Had the US not come to Europe's aid, The Russians would have still beaten the Germans and then there would have been nothing to stop Stalin from bringing his Communist paradise to a village near you.
If I were living in the UK, with France and Germany in primary control of Europe, and a greedy and aggressive Russia waiting in the wings, I am not sure how secure I would feel, but I would not be picking at them. The Channel is not as wide as it once was.
That old independent Nationalism can come back to bite a nation in the butt, but I understand it is all the rage now days, and history does not always repeat. Maybe there will continue to be
peace in our time. That will be a good thing, because Uncle Sugar is not the giant he once was.
You don't have a Churchill, we don't have a Roosevelt, but Russia has a Stalin......
