Seeing it's 13. of January, that doesn't take much of an effort.

It's interesting that there aren't that many jokes about Germany in this regard, and virtually none at all aimed at Canada or New Zealand, who also opposed the invasion.

The difference of course is the position France holds.
Lots of nations turned round and said "this is crap you are telling us".
France was on the security council with a veto and said "this is crap you are telling us".
For further good measure it said "you were already told it was crap when the information was handed to you".

You can understand the resentment a sore loser would feel over that.

And i thought it was about the French selling frogs to the Iraqis.

No, the Russians sold Frogs, the French sold Magic and the Americans sold Defenders

Yeah, Us Yanks are a handful, but who else would you want in your corner in a tight spot?

A bunch of aussies or south africans. a handsful of spaniards or a set from the tip of the shoe... italy. passionate fighters.
a belgian (south) confronted by another belgian (north) canunleash hell by pure handspower too.
No need for stoopid Firepower- some of them ex Belgian army types, even crippled and with mauled limbs - Gallic forces.

Just to say, there are other fighters on this planet.

To answer the part on "when the soup hits the fan":
I either will have been smart enough to see it coming, or deserve to die however death comes.
Humanity is overrated.

In time you will gain a masochistic tendency and actually enjoy Augusts machine gun. I ate it a few times myself, it's fun, fire back, he kinda likes it

If it WERE a Machinegun. It felt like he used a set 5 incher guns off a Fletcher Class. Boring. Bland. Vulgar. Shooting birds with cannons. Uncalled for. Nothing special, please move on, gentlemen...

I would ve been honored to get a 2000 feet shot of an oerlikon 20mikemike.
Or a 1000 feet shot by a 50cal.
That would have actually impresssed me.

I hope I am not one of the ones who makes you puke. I hold no malice towards any other nation really. It can just be disheartening to see so much malice towards mine at times, and for what?

US of A is evil! and you too!
No, i should' ve specifically pointed my finger to August, and not broaden my aim by portentially including otehr unnamed people.
I lost my focus and might have pointed my Flakvierling at a lot of people i have learned to respect and enjoy.

I would like to apologise for that.

But would that not have made my public post an insult? hard on the line - very very hard.
But then, maybe i should ve eathen my post entirely.
i mean, like... who cares.
7.2+ billion. One opinion is Overrated.

Oh well, someone has to be the villain. It keeps the focus off the Euro Cartel, and it's attempts to save a dying currency.
Sure we suck, but I am willing to bet you all have sucky things too.
No society is exempt from sucking. My first law of suckyness.

And yes we suck too. Either get our act together and form something like the US of europe, or just drop the Idea.
What we are doing now with our currency is pussyfooting around a few harsh and hard decisions.

and one can apply that curreny situation to other sectors: education, military, society, Law...
Europeans don't know what the hell they want.

You said it...
Society is made up by Humans.
and BOY do these Humans -beeeeeeep-
Hoooly moly!
