    Unfortunately, America and Russia have proven to be unable to rule even Afghanistan...

    I guess maybe we should have given the Mongolians a call.

    Ever heard of the long march?

    Not the one in history, but the Chinese Communist Idea that they are bound to rule the world?

    I would rather not see a one world government and I certainly don’t want a conquer.

    Pay attention. Sometimes it is the little things that count.

    lol, we can dream.

    the reason why you like the europeans is precisely the reason we will never have the europeans.

    We're too soft, we lack the cojones to go in gun blazing. We've lost them somewhere along the road. Look at Norwegians - they've terrorised the known world in the past, stealing food, gold and wimmin and now they're a bunch of wusses in love with everybody

    because european nations individually do not have the balls anymore to dominate world affairs, and have yet to realise that clubbing together won't cause a spine to grow either.

    WW2 has obviously been a very traumatic affair that has permanently scarred the collective national psyche.

    it requires a confident, perhaps even slightly arrogant, national personality in addition to wealth and population in order to become a superpower. that is decidedly lacking!

    Pff, but we're in a good situation, I doubt that Europe will be conquered by an outside force as long as it stands together.
    And with our anything goes approach we're slowly converting the whole world because not much is as tempting as breaking rules and doing what you want. European imperialism just shifted to a different level, chancellor Angela Merkel was just allowed to speak before Congress in the USA, something that is usually only allowed for Presidents, or so I read. You see, she already softened up the US with her charm and good looks.

    Who would have thought German Boobs could have swayed the Americans?
