Acutal the only Country I know with a Infefority Complex would be Russia
To them from day ones its been keeping up with the Joneses with Joneses being everyone except them :\

For example why build 2x as many mobile Missile Delivered Rockets as we did?

We had three times more in THOSE missiles alone to blow up every single country, We had 8x as much as we needed to put a nuke in every City and Reigion of Russia

The problem the US and Russia did not stumble to untill later when they looked back is tehy relised not only could they blow up the other nation 120 times over they could destroy the world 30 times over and frankly fokes you don't need that many bombs :D

As we both tumbled to in 1990s when we looked back and said...

My dislike at the time stemmed from being called the "fourth placed America". It's about the only insult you can level at my country that I'd take offence at.

And I wouldn't worry about me hating America. Hey! in Australia, the various states hate each other more than we hate America.

Proof (in the form of a joke):
A Tasmanian, Victorian and a South Australian are walking along the beach when they find a magic lamp. They recognise this for what it is, and rub it, and out pops a genie. The genie says, "right, since there are three of you, you get one wish each."
The Tasmanian says "My state has really horrible weather. I wish it was nicer."
"Done!" says the genie, and Tassie weather becomes much nicer.
The Victorian says "I want you to build a 100 foot wall all around victora so noone else can share in our wonderful state."
"DOne!" says the genie.
The South Australian says "You know that wall?"
"Yes?"
"Is it waterproof?"
"Yes," says the Genie.
"FIne," says the South Australian. "Fill it with water."

Not that it's ever a really serious hate.

This is more like Americans, with their thoughts of superiority.
But why is it that Americans try to buy Canadian flags off of Canadian backpackers?

They might start to cry, and that wouldn't be very nice.
Especially since our tears are ICBMS and precision bombers.

This is an anti-France forum, after all, and we don't want to hurt the poor little American's egos too much. They might start to cry, and that wouldn't be very nice.
:cry:

Well you can tie it together because if it weren't for France supporting us the American Revolution wouldn't have been won. Of course they went bankrupt from spending so much monety to stick it to King George and co which ended up leading to higher taxes, and little revolution of their own.... :D


By the way, when I was visiting your fine country with the US Navy everyone from my ship just loved the place. The common comment was that it was just like the US in the 70s. :D
