      France is (mostly) not an island and they weren’t besieged during WWII.

      I’ve also heard that Britain rolling early with the Industrial Revolution meant that they got the big cities quicker and fed them with bland canned goods before they worked out the fresh goods logistics.

        Cheese eating surrender monkeys. Created a state of the art defence system but didn’t extend it across the gap where ‘the Germans will never invade through such rough terrain’ although they did before during WWI.

      The British do too. Like we have to top five healthiest teeth in the world.

      Americans need to stop confusing their memes foe actual knowledge and experience of the world.
